Effective management of equipment is crucial for the success of construction firms. Inadequate manual processes of equipment management and the subjective decisions of equipment managers usually result in major losses in construction firms, hence, the economy. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce an agent‐based equipment management system aiming to increase integration and automation, and to minimise decision errors. Recent research on agent technology allows the proposition of an automated and integrated application for equipment management. The proposed application makes use of the current databases of the firm and adds wireless technology to construction equipment for automated data integration.

Equipment maintenance cost is significant in construction operations budgets. This study proposes a systematic approach to predict maintenance cost of road construction equipment. First, maintenance cost data over more than 10 years was collected from a partner company’s equipment management information system. Data was cleaned and analyzed to obtain a general understanding of maintenance costs trends. Next, traditional cumulative cost models and alternative data mining models were generated to predict maintenance cost based on available equipment and operation attributes. Data mining models were evaluated and validated using portions of the collected data that have not been used in model development. Data collection, analyses, modeling, and validation steps are discussed. The paper also presents the performance of different model types. Based on the case study data, regression model trees performed better than other model types with equipment work hours being the most significant parameter for predicting maintenance cost.

The Government

The major share of capital and equipment intensive operation goes to the road sector and the hydro – electric power projects. The construction sector in Ethiopia is developing at a fast rate and its capital budget is increasing from year to year. One of the reasons for this high growth is the number of new construction projects underway and those in the pipeline. In addition, the hydro-electric power projects the government has given a great emphasis to increase the current installed power of 780Mw to a total of 10,000Mw in the coming few years. These hydro-power projects are known for using a great deal of high investment heavy machineries. Therefore, the construction equipment management plays a great role in finalizing the projects with fewer budgets and no time over run. Considering the higher operation, maintenance and investment cost of construction equipment, it is important to have a carefully optimized decision making model that will help in the sizing and selection of the right combination of equipment for a given project. Even the rental versus purchase evaluation needs careful consideration of the project requirement and its duration. This study tries to analyze the existing situation taking a selected company as a case study with regard to construction equipment management. The study tries to cover the equipment management policy of the company, suppliers/manufacturers evaluation and selection criteria, types of purchase processes employed, as well as different make types and capacities of equipment owned by the company. Moreover, capacities of standard facilities available for the central maintenance workshop and replacement plan of equipment of the company in the coming five years will be investigated and commented on.
