Basic principle of construction logistics: proactive planning
The credo of all logistics experts at DELTA is “Having is better than needing”. This principle guides our construction logistics, which aims to recognise and solve problems before they actually arise. Construction logistics at DELTA is divided into two main areas: strategic planning and operational logistics.
Strategic construction logistics
Strategic construction logistics encompasses the overarching planning of building complexes, major construction projects or urban development areas. This refers to scheduling and logistical planning that determines who does what, when, where and how, as well as the conditions that must be met so that all parties involved can fulfil their obligations by the defined date. The planning horizon ranges from weeks and months to several years.
Our services in strategic construction logistics include
- Planning of construction site equipment areas, cranes, construction roads and mass management for earthworks and concrete
- Access and slot management
- Construction site and occupational safety
- Supply and waste disposal management
- Support for official procedures and coordination with municipal and state-wide installation departments
- Coordination of settlement
Operational construction logistics
Operational construction logistics at DELTA monitors compliance with all specifications and rules, identifies deviations and initiates short to medium-term countermeasures. Detailed scheduling and coordination at working level are the order of the day here. Changes, regardless of their origin, are analysed, evaluated and, if necessary, addressed with suitable measures.
Tools and partnerships
To fulfil these tasks, our construction logistics specialists use a comprehensive set of tools, such as overview plans, interface lists, schedules, meeting circles and carry out intensive discussions as a central information hub in the project. We have long-standing partnerships with partner offices and companies for additional services.
