dc.description.abstract |
Environmental risk factors are vital in highway projects and it has become a crucial
issue in Sri Lanka. The contractor is the main contracting party who suffers due to
those environmental risk factors. Thus, it is very important to investigate how to
manage the environmental risk factors in highway construction projects in Sri Lanka
with the contractor’s perspective. Accordingly, this research aimed at investigating
how to manage environmental risk factors in highway construction projects in Sri
Lanka with contractor’s perspective. The mixed approach was used for the study and
initially a literature review was conducted in relation with highway construction
projects in Sri Lanka. Then, a semi structured expert interviews were conducted to
validate the findings to the Sri Lankan highway projects and analyzed with the use
of manual content analysis. Finally, two rounds of questionnaire survey were
conducted and analyzed collected data using statistical methods.
37 environmental risk factors were identified in highway construction projects in Sri
Lanka with the contractor’s perspective and out of them, 11 risk factors were
identified as the most significant environmental risk factors. According to the
analysis “Natural resources depletion in Sri Lanka like soil, sand, aggregate etc.” has
selected as the most significant risk factor by contractors. To manage above
identified significant risk factors 24 most suitable risk response measures were
selected. 13 out of them are common risk response measures and rest of the others
were unique solutions for specific risk factors. At the same time environmental risk
factors were mainly allocated to contractors in highway construction projects in Sri
Lanka as per the perspective of the contractors. Finally, the recommendations were
given to use of most suitable risk response measures in a meaningful way in
highway construction projects to manage the environmental risk factors using the
framework. |
