| Abstract: |
There is great potential for increased productivity in the production of bridges in terms of optimizing material use, time and cost for design and production. Hence, the environmental impact and cost can be optimized. To find out how standardisation of parts of bridges and which parameters are of most importance for increased productivity in the production of bridges, a quantitate study was performed on the Swedish bridge construction industry. The questionnaire received 151 responses. The results show in which aspects and parameters the industry’s three major actors – engineers, contractors, and clients – see greatest potential in order to increase the productivity. By standardising parts in bridges, there is great potential in making the construction of bridges more productive. |
