Metodology for construction equipment expense calculations used by the USACE

Abstract

Estimating expenses for Construction Equipment (CE) has a key impact on the success of civil engineering projects. The nature of these expenses is such that there is a need for a lot of assumptions during the estimating process. These assumptions are later often difficult to check. The basis for accurately estimating CEcosts is accepting an appropriate methodology for calculation. The paper describes the basis of the methodology of calculation of CE costs used by the USACE and the possibility of its application outside United States.

Proračun očekivanih troškova rada mehanizacije ima ključni uticaj na uspešnost građevinskih projekata. Priroda ovih troškova je takva da se pri njihovom određivanju usvaja dosta pretpostavki čija je kasnija provera često problematična. Osnova za precizno prognoziranje troškova mehanizovanog rada je usvajanje kvalitetne metodologije proračuna. U radu je prikazana osnova metodologije proračuna troškova rada građevinskih mašina koju koristi USACE kao i mogućnost njene primene van SAD.
