Method for Combining Work ofthe Pioneer and Preparatory Construction Periods
The initial stage of construction in hard-to-reach and underdeveloped areas is a pioneer period that combines the initial territory preparation and a set of measures aimed at creating sustainable living conditions. At the same time, severe climate conditions set the main goal of an area development to minimisation of buildings and structures’ construction duration. Thus, the development of a methodology for combining the pioneer construction and preparatory periods is one of the most significant directions of its solution. The article overviews the general work breakdown structure ofthe pioneer and preparatory construction periods and how, based on the analysis of a practical construction experience, proposes the conditions for the maximum combination of these two periods. A step-by-step algorithm for modelling such a combination through the identification of the organisational span between both periods’ launch is explained. As a result, the determined change of the working area ranges from the scope of work for a single squad to the full scope of work. We propose the equations dovetailing work of the pioneer construction and preparatory periods, definitions of their duration and the number of squads required for a reliable accomplishment of the determined periods’ combination conditions.
