  Senior authorCorresponding

  The COVID-19 pandemic has been the largest global health crisis in decades. Apart from the unprecedented number of deaths and hospitalizations, the pandemic has resulted in economic slowdowns, widespread business disruptions, and significant hardships. This study focused on investigating the early impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. construction industry since the declaration of the national emergency on 13 March 2020. The study objectives were achieved through 34 telephone interviews w…

• Establishing a Future-Proofing Framework for Infrastructure Projects to Proactively Adapt to Complex Regulatory Landscapes

  Journal of Management in Engineering · 2020 · 17 citations

  Infrastructure projects experience different regulatory impacts during permitting, operations, and decommissioning. However, no framework is in place to provide a foundation for infrastructure operators and administrators to take advantage of the opportunities (e.g., gain competitive advantage) and cope with the risks (e.g., risk of noncompliance) related to regulatory requirements. This study aimed to identify the existing methodologies and emerging practices to proactively identify, evaluate,…

• Construction Safety Training: Barriers, Challenges, and Opportunities

  Construction Research Congress 2020 · 2020-11-09 · 15 citations

  article

  Much of the construction safety research has focused on designing, developing, and delivering training interventions. However, desirable levels of safety performance have not been achieved; and poor safety performance continues to be a global issue in the construction industry. In fact, evidence suggests that the bulk of training investments do not yield desirable levels of returns or benefits. This is partly because training practices adopted in the industry rarely leverage the best practices f…
