Risk management
Impact of the covid 19 pandemic on construction projects
Dipl.-Ing. Stefan Brach
One field of research of the Institute of Construction Technologies and Management at TU Darmstadt is risk management. As part of the research work, the impact of the covid 19 pandemic is being recorded and analyzed. For this purpose, working conditions on construction sites as well as claims and notifications are documented and evaluated. On this basis, recommendations for action will be formulated on how to deal with crises and the issue of business continuation risk in the construction industry in the future.
Risk management
Data-based multi-project management and effective control through data analytics
Saskia Erler M. Sc.
The research work can be assigned to risk management in the fields of research of the Institute of Construction Technologies and Management. Here, construction project data from the initiation, planning and execution to the handover of the object are recorded and systematically analyzed. On this basis, a concept of multi-project management is to be developed in the perspective of an industrial building owner, which enables a data-based and thus objective as well as comparable recording of the project status. Within this framework, the research work deals with the availability, structuring and processing of data in digital systems [1]. Based on this, statistical methods and machine learning approaches are used to investigate re-occurring dynamics and data patterns in construction projects, which lead to the implementation of an early warning system, that can be used for effective control by the owner in multi-project management.
