Resilience Criteria for Project Delivery Processes: An Exploratory Analysis for Highway Project Development
Publication: Journal of Construction Engineering and Management
Volume 147, Issue 11
Abstract
Highway project delivery is a disruption-prone process in which resilience is essential to project success, because different project stages experience disruptions and struggle to reach desired project outcomes. A process to assess resilience in project delivery is necessary to be able to evaluate how a project may respond to disruptive events during the planning, design, and construction phases. Many practices in the literature can aid highway project delivery resilience through resistance, recovery, and adaptation. Through the use of survey data and principal component analysis (PCA), this large group of resilience practices was reduced to seven key resilience criteria for each stage of resilience. These resilience criteria form the basis for future resilience assessment of the project delivery process. The findings of this research add to the body of knowledge by providing a means to incorporate resilience assessment into highway project delivery, which eventually can improve the resiliency of completed infrastructure.
