The logistics will play an integral role
in the success of this project and will be the front line vision
of the project to the public and local businesses during the
construction process. Poor logistics are costing the UK's
construction industry £3bn a year, and the simple facts remain
that the constraints of the project ensure that successful
delivery of the project is based on a few fundamental processes
that will include:
Deliveries & traffic into the Project
Waste management from the project
Safety of the workforce & surrounding population
Security & access control
Any failings of the above will have a significant detrimental
impact on a project and its successful completion. The message
is clear, that for contractors and client’s alike; there are
benefits from good logistics.
The impact of poor logistics on a project will be far
reaching and impact every aspect of the construction process
including:
Commercial ineffectiveness
Poor quality construction
Increased project time
Limited liaison between the client and sub contractors
