Optimizing Construction Site Management
Optimizing Construction Site Management

ABSTRACT
Modern construction technologies strongly affect the environment. Therefore, design and
building construction should also follow the sustainable development principle. In this
case, design and construction work based on the sustainable development principle should
aim at creating a safe and healthy living environment, the economical use of natural
resources, and the stimulation of economic development to create the welfare for humans
and favourable natural conditions. The article proposes a mathematical algorithm as
a comprehensive solution for engineering management of the planning construction site,
from the calculation of the earthworks to the automated creation of the engineering
geological cross-sections. The paper integrates engineering management, mathematical
modelling, and BIM technology. The application of the building information model is
undoubtedly one of the most advanced technologies used in the engineering management
field, whose advantages have been shown by researchers. In the preliminary stage of
construction and production management, decisions should be made regarding material
and human resources, schedules, and estimates. The main purpose of this article is the
optimisation of the excavation. Other issues important to the organisation and management
of the construction are the planning of safe work on the construction site, depending on
the soil type. Geotechnical sections allow ascertaining the need for additional fortifications
and the depth of the fortifications for safe work. The paper describes the principal
mathematical model developed by the authors to design a construction site using BIM
technologies. It presents the main formulas of a mathematical algorithm aimed at selecting
the objects used on the building site and the need for them. It also gives the main principles
of engineering management and methods for selecting the mechanisms used on the
construction site. Understandably, a specialist’s visit to the construction site will not be Leonas Ustinovičius
