Daily Log 9/14/2011 ASA

This is another visit of the ASA Project on campus. This time the building was under full work and there were dozens of workers on site. I focused on the exterior of the building this time because it was all I could see from beyond the fence. Attached is the daily log, some photos of the site, and a sketch of the building.

This site is always an interesting one to view because there is so much going on at any given time. I do have a few suggestions as to how to improve efficiency on the site. First off I noticed that the masons working in the boom lifts had to travel up and down constantly from the top of the building to the bottom in order to get mortar and freshly cut stones to work on the building facade; they could possibly use one of their all terrain lifts to boom materials up/down to the men where they need it most. I also noticed that this job is tightly scheduled but it seems that the trades might be tripping over one another inside the building right now; maybe it would be possible to send the trades in floor by floor. Finally the site could avoid the use of lanyards, tie offs and retractables in a cage style safety net was installed like the ones we saw from Australia.
