Technical Risk

Technical risk assessment model of large-scale construction project has been established by using triangle whitening weight function of grey theory against the problems of technical risk assessment of large-scale construction project. In the end, through example verification, this model is approved to be feasible and have certain value of reference and utilization in similar problems.

This article examines whether women’s representation among senior-level construction jobs increased over time during a long-term, large-scale construction project in Boston, Massachusetts, and whether enactment of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) has fostered support and connection to construction career opportunities for women in this metropolitan area. Results show that the proportion of hours worked by women in senior-level positions on the project was relatively high for a few years, followed by a general decline across all job types, and the WIA did not significantly enhance opportunities for women in construction.

Construction Period

Huge investment, long construction period, many risk factors are existed in large-scale construction project. They are faced with various risks intervened with each other. this study using analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy evaluation method, conducts the comprehensive analysis of project risk level, and by combining list sorting method with subjective evaluation method grade the risk factors according to their likelihood of occurrence, the degree of serious consequences, and the controllability of occurrence, so that by the multiplication of three scores, the level of risks can be obtained and corresponding strategies can be established according to these different risks.
