A Constructability Study of the Sargent Beach, Texas Erosion Control Project

Abstract

This thesis presents an analysis of the US Army Corps of Engineers' Sargent Beach, Texas Erosion Control Project and makes recommendations concerning risk assessment, project controls, and contracting strategy in order to maximize the chances of overall project success. The main source of data for the study was a constructability symposium conducted for the purpose of soliciting input into the project planning and design process from construction contractor representatives experienced in the field of heavy marine construction. This thesis also examines the elements of a successful constructability symposium, and models that and other options available to the Corps of Engineers and other public sector entities for gaining construction contractor input into project planning and design.
