    Assessment 2
    Case Study (30%)
    Due: End of Week 13 (Midnight Friday)
    It is important that students can demonstrate their understanding of the material presented in
    Construction Plant and Equipment including different types and sizes of plant and equipment used in
    contemporary construction.
    Overview
    This case study, expected to be done in groups comprised of 2 students, requires students to find a
    substantial local construction project where civil construction and/or earthmoving and/or earthworks
    are underway, for example, a minesite, road construction project, residential sub-division, CBD
    basement excavation or regional shopping centre.
    The objective of the Construction Plant & Equipment Case Study Assessment is to encourage students
    to reflect on the content of lectures so that they fully understand the subject. It is designed to
    encourage students to undertake further research and learning in support of lecture material provided
    by lecturers and to start to apply their new knowledge to specific situations. Students must also
    appreciate that a small domestic site with a Bobcat digging a trench is not sufficient scope for this
    assignment.
    Scope
    Students are to submit an individual professionally formatted, structured and referenced report.
    The submission is to provide a report on the site that the student has identified that discusses the site
    and its activities in relation to the plant and equipment being utilised on site including, but not limited
    to:
    •  The Site Location and Project;
    •  Date & Time of Visit including climatic conditions;
    •  Identify the Plant & Equipment on site;
    •  The activities being undertaken by the particular pieces of equipment (photos are
    recommended);
    •  Speculate on why the particular equipment identified is being used;
    •  What equipment can they identify that might be more appropriate for the tasks identified
    and why or why the equipment being utilized is the right piece of equipment;
    •  Time study on the ongoing processes (important component).

    •  Study on the suitability of the fleet size (important component).
    Students should bear in mind that the objective of the case study is for students to examine the
    different processes, capabilities and performance outputs and productivity of pieces of equipment and
    the technical, safety and economic factors that have to be considered when deciding which particular
    type of plant or equipment to select for a particular construction project. Again, it is emphasized that
    a small domestic site with a single piece of small equipment will not provide sufficient scope for this
    assessment.

    Key Points
    The case study submission will:
    •  Comprise a report of [6000-8000] words;
    •  Be submitted by Midnight Friday of Week 13 (27/05/2016);
    •  Students must choose a project that provides sufficient scope to answer the assignment based
    on the provided material and topics in the unit outline;
    •  To assist you in the structure of your report and how to get your message across consider
    sections of the report that could include:
    o  Practical examples from the project of the equipment being used and how that
    addressees the key items to be included plus any relevant information you think it is
    appropriate to include:
    o  Use drawings that help explain how the equipment is being utilised (effectively or
    otherwise);
    o  Reference texts to justify what is appropriate use for particular pieces of equipment.
    Format and Assessment
    •  This assignment is worth 30% of the unit mark;
    •  It will be assessed on the basis of the attached marking plan which students must attach to
    their assignment to receive feedback;
    •  The Case Study is to be submitted in groups but there is no restriction if one tends to do it
    individually.
    •  The final report should contain no more than 5000 words + drawings + photographs;
    •  All pages must be numbered and work checked for typographical and grammatical errors;
    •  All source material MUST be acknowledged and any form of plagiarism will result in failure of
