FAULTS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES IN BUILDING AND REINFORCING ROADS

FELKOSTNADER OCH DERAS KONSEKVENSER VID VAEGBYGGNADS - OCH FOERSTAERKNINGSARBETEN

The purpose of this study was to find and identify faults occuring in projecting, planning and production, and also to make suggestions on how to reduce these. The identification of faults during the construction of the road was done continuously, but the actual costs have been calculated and put together afterwards. When using the word "fault" in this study it refers to a deviation from the list of quantities or to a disorder in the production line. A total of 24 faults were identified, of which one could not be corrected. The faults can be reduced if: 1) the person doing the projecting has enough time to review the area thoroughly, 2) the local employees' knowledge and point of view is taken into consideration, 3) an experienced person checks an inexperienced person doing the projecting, 4) the buyer is restrictive with extra orders and does not diverge from the list of quantities, 5) inexperienced work leaders are assigned an "advisor" to consult, preferably at some nearby project, and 6) the work leader's effort is increased, through encouragement from his superior.
