A growing issue in the construction industry is how production can become more

efficient by using logistical solutions. Companies can minimize the cost of a project by

reducing the time to perform the work.

The purpose of this report was to examine the logistics related to pipe trenches for

SIAAB. The report's focus has been on solving problems and planning that would

facilitate the work of the project Vaksala-Lunda Etapp 3.

The case study consists of interviews with SIAAB's employees and an observation

where the progress of a traditional pipe trench has been documented using checklists.

Questions to the report’s case study come from the theoretical part, which is based

on literature on construction management and logistics in general. The observation

lasted five weeks and the biggest time-consuming events that affected the pipe trench

during this time, has received most attention. Last part of the report is a compilation

of the authors' own thoughts and opinions.

The production was difficult in this case because the earlier stages of the project were

weak. The extent of SIAAB's planning could have been higher, but this was

complicated when employees were tied to previous projects.
