2. MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
1. A key factor adversely affecting project
performance is the improper handling and
management of materials for that project.
2. Materials management is more important
on fast-track projects.
3. Design and procurement decisions are
made concurrently with construction
activities.
32. EFFECTIVE MATERIAL HANDLING
• Delivery of bulk materials in large:
transportation for large quantities by rail
(e.g. reinforcement/steelwork) or barge
(e.g. ballast from a dredger) and for large
volume by pipeline (e.g. water/gas/oil/
chalk/cement/concrete) or conveyor
(e.g. excavated material/fill).
