Staging in Construction
Staging is the activity of presenting performance in construction or operation, while a staging area is where supplies and equipment are positioned for construction site access. Staging involves assembling, testing, and operating a process control system before plant implementation to ensure proper performance. It is done after vendor testing under end user supervision.
Scaffold and Scaffolding
Scaffolding, also called scaffold or staging, is a temporary structure used to support a work crew and materials during construction, maintenance, and repair of structures. Scaffold refers to the whole structure, while scaffolding refers to the individual parts.
Construction Stages Overview
The construction process involves planning, resource allocation, site preparation, foundation work, structural construction, finishing, and inspections. Understanding the stages provides a roadmap for efficient project completion.
- Investigate eliminating substages for temporary sidewalks. Consider using a temporary bridge to reduce staging. Estimated cost savings: $50,000; time saved: 1 month.
- Relocate overhead utility lines to permanent positions without temporary poles. Estimated cost savings: $0.3 million; time saved: 3 months.
- Early coordination with agencies to identify project permitting requirements. Estimated design schedule time saved: 3 months.
