A STUDY OF THE INCIDENCE OF COST OF AUXILIARY WORKS ON WATER RESOURCES PROJECT COST

Abstract

The water resources project cost as a whole is influenced by different factors such as size, importance, location, design and planning, while a completed project comprises of a number of groups of works. Therefore, the cost of any group of works also generally influences the cost of the project."Auxiliary work" is one of these groups of works. A study of this has been taken up in this dissertation. The dissertation comprises of five chapters. In the first chapter the description of the philosophy behind this disser-tation is given. In the second chapter the definition and identifications of auxiliary works have been done. The third and the fourth chapters consist of the projects under study and their cost analysis. The fifth and final chap-ter contains discussions and conclusion from the study. It is observed that the incidence of the cost of "auxiliary works" varies much from project to'project and therefore, to obtain a more generalised relation further study is recommended.
