Abstract:
The thesis discusses the operation of a soil depot for local authorities. City and municipal authorities carry out civil engineering works to maintain their road networks. These projects usually generate a surplus of soil material. In order to be able to recycle this material, it is necessary to analyse the material in the pile in order to organise a suitable use for the materials on this basis. For these services it is necessary to temporarily store the materials.
The aim of the work is to compare possible storage methods. The core topic is the operation of an own ground depot for minerals, alternatives to this are the renting of external interim storage areas or the finding of provision areas close to the construction site.
In order to establish a financial comparison, the expected costs of the suppliers for the storage costs are determined. As construction management aspects can also be decisive in the decision-making process, the construction management advantages and disadvantages are also discussed. By analysing the results, the conclusion is drawn that the use of staging areas close to the construction site would generally be the most economical option. However, due to the lack of space to implement the staging areas, the operation of a centralised soil depot is advisable.
