The Extent of Applying the Concept of Sustainability in Engineering Planning Management for Roads and Bridges Construction in Benghazi City

Abstract

 This study aims to shed light on the extent of applying sustainability in engineering planning management during the implementation of road and bridge projects in Benghazi City. The research examined planning factors affecting the duration of project implementation or delays. The study sample included four public and private engineering companies in Benghazi, involving directors, department heads, engineers, supervisors, and staff. Out of the targeted 90 participants, 51 engineers responded to the survey. The study mainly relied on a questionnaire survey and data analysis using the statistical software (SPSS).
The findings revealed that some companies operate under their own internal systems for project implementation but lack a motivating environment and sufficient training for engineers. Other companies do not adopt sustainable planning strategies or policies and do not have dedicated human resources departments, resulting in the absence of formal systems for training and motivating engineers in road and bridge projects.
