A framework to assess the costs and benefits of advanced work packaging in industrial construction
Download2019-03-01
Halala, Yonas Samuel, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
The term advanced work packaging (AWP), coined by the Construction Industry Institute (CII), refers to a disciplined process for project planning and execution; it was developed to address challenges such as cost and schedule overruns in the industrial construction sector. Case studies conducted...

A simulation-based decision-support system for reducing duration, cost, and environmental impacts of earthmoving operations
Download2020-01-01
Pourrahimian, Elyar, Al Hattab, Malak, Ead, Rana, Labban, Ramzi Roy, AbouRizk, Simaan
Earthmoving operations are equipment-intensive processes that rely heavily on the proper selection of the equipment fleet and proper scheduling of associated tasks. Early equipment planning decisions have direct implications on schedules, costs, and more importantly, the environmental performance...

Accelerating the dewatering of oil sands tailings is a crucial challenge to the oil sands industry. Fresh tailings (15–20% by weight solids) and mature tailings (30–35% by weight solids) dewater slowly over a period of decades or centuries, and have resulted in the accumulation of 1,075 Mm3 of...
