This book provides a practical guide to public-private partnerships
(P3) for highway projects in the United States with a closer look
at California. It takes the reader from the definition of the P3
delivery method through the process of project selections to be
procured using the P3 method and different possible contractual
structures and their comparison to the traditional project delivery
method. It provides step-by-step analysis of P3 projects
development. It shows risks associated with the P3 methods in
practice. Lessons learned from the United States and worldwide are
explained in details to help in the procurement of new P3 projects.
The book covers the use of the SureTrak(r) software in easy format
by walking through the software in a way similar to the practical
use of the software which makes it easy to apply. It has project
examples which allow user to grasp the concept and us the software
efficiently. SureTrak(r) is planning and scheduling software that
is trademarked and owned by Oracle that can be used in any industry
including building, construction, oil & gas and software

The need for utility service line replacement or repairs with
minimum disruption to the surface has increased the demand for
trenchless excavation methods like microtunneling. Microtunneling
is a trenchless technique that is used in installation of new
pipelines. Microtunneling can be applied in gravity and pressure
lines, permanent ducts for cables, and crossings under rails or
roads. When bidding a microtunneling project, the main concern of
contractors is predicting the underground behavior of the machine.
Contractors do not have enough resources for predicting the
productivity of microtunneling machines. The book provides
contractors with models to estimate microtunneling productivity to
reduce their bidding risks and increase profit. It uses statistical
modeling techniques. Penetration time, delay time, and preparation
time for the microtunneling process were modeled. Penetration time
was predicted for different soil conditions using deterministic
techniques, while preparation and delay time used probabilistic
techniques.
