Assignment $2$

Site Layout

Background

Project Details

Daddy Cool Construction has recently been awarded a contract to build a

new six storey office building that includes three levels of underground

parking. As part of this contract, you are responsible for preparing a plan

showing the proposed site layout.

The attached sketch shows the proposed site and the location of the

building footprint.

The structure is comprised of a combination of cast$-$in$-$place concrete and

structural steel construction. The main walls and floor slab are reinforced

concrete with the balance of the structure comprised of structural steel and

metal decking. All decking will be covered with a concrete topping. All

interior walls are steel stud framing with drywall finishes.

The North and East sides of the facility are in relatively close proximity to

existing roads and sidewalks that must remain functional. The excavation

will be approximately $25$ feet in depth.

During your concrete pour, you intend to use a boom pump whenever

possible, but the majority of your planning will be done with the tower

crane using a $1(1)/(2)$ yard concrete bucket. The bucket weighs $6,000$ pounds

when fully loaded. In late stages of construction, various sub$-$contractors

also require use of the crane for loading and moving materials around the

site. You plan to mobilize a tower crane $($only one tower crane$)$ with a L$4$

jib and a two$-$part line.

The general conditions and nature of the job requires you to mobilize the

following items:

A temporary field office $(10^(\text{'})$ x $40^(\text{'}))$

First aid facility and meeting room $(10^(\text{'})$ x $40^(\text{'}))$

Owner designated field office $(10\text{'}$ x $40\text{'})$

Storage compound $(25$ x $30^(\text{'}))$

Four site offices for major sub$-$contractors $($each $10^(\text{'})$ x $40^(\text{'}))$

Instructions $1.$ Prepare a plan showing the construction site layout,

Indicate all the necessary temporary requirements and provisions you

may need including, but not limited to$,$ the following:

Temporary site offices

Location of the tower crane $($one only$)$ & indicate reach at $6,000$lb

Main access and intended traffic control

Hoarding and protection

Shoring

Any other necessary temporary facilities you can think of $($you will

need to refer to your lecture notes for other temporary

requirements$)$

$($Note: please write down any assumptions that you are

making. Ex$.$ What assumptions are you making for the

location of your tower crane and what are you intending to

do for the areas that cannot be reached with your tower

crane?$)$

Layout your plan on a piece of $11^(\text{'}\text{'})$xx$17^(\text{'}\text{'})$ paper at a scale of $1$:$500($or

you can plot this using any computer software you like but it must be

to a scale of $1$:$500).$

You can get the dimensions for the site and footprint of the building by

using a metric scale measuring from the attached plan, which is drawn

at a scale of $1$:$1000$

Use the data in the Crane Reach Table to determine the maximum

reach of the crane at $6,000$lb and show the maximum reach on your

site layout.

Hint: You can use the method of interpolation to determine the

maximum reach of the crane from the values in the table. In another

word, you can assume Hook Reach and Lifting Capacities are in a

linear relationship!

Neatly sketch your temporary facilities s well as the final footprint of

the building.
