Evaluation of Material Management System for Construction Projects

Abstract

The Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (AAA) made several improvements at a Water Treatment Plant located on the North Coast, of Puerto Rico with the intention of addressing several compliance issues that were identified by regulatory agencies. The project includes the installation of new equipment, relocation of existing pipelines, improvements to existing pump stations, construction of new processing systems that will be integrated into existing units and installation of new pipes. These improvements will focus on keeping the plant in compliance during peak flow events. The scope of this project consists on analyzing the Material Management of the Construction of a Waste Water Treatment Plant. This project will describe the importance of managing construction materials and will present a materials management plan that would improve the result and effectiveness of the project in terms of time and cost. Key Terms - Cost, Management, Materials, Time.
