Site Organization and Layout - Theory & Concepts

Principles of site mobilization, logistics planning, temporary facilities, and material management.

Optimize material storage location relative to the main hoist. Moving materials further increases travel time and labor costs.

Distance (

d

)50 m

Trips Per Day (

N_{\text{trips}}

)100

T_{\text{trip}} = \frac{2 \cdot d}{v}

C_{\text{labor}} = \left( \frac{T_{\text{trip}} \cdot N_{\text{trips}}}{60} \right) \cdot w

Assuming speed

v = 80 \text{ m/min}
