Night time construction and its effect on flyover project duration and cost

Abstract

High volume traffic on many city roads make it difficult to perform any construction activity during peak hours of any construction work which is carried on the road. It introduces the issues to the traffic flow, issues for the worker, issues of the cost and productivity of the work. Therefore many activities of these types of works are scheduled during off peak hours generally during night time to minimize the problems. It also includes different types of issues occurs during night time construction of flyover project and the solutions on that issues. The selection of night time construction activities is based on the quality and productivity of the work. The night time construction work based on the explicit consideration of the following three main aspects is presented: (a) the travel time savings produced by night- time construction work, (b) the impact that nighttime work has on workers’ human factors (e.g., sleep deprivation and disruption of family and social lives) and (c) the impact that pay differentials for night- time workers would have on project costs.
