Post-Covid challenges in Civil Engineering Activities

Nirban Laskar

Abstract


Concerning populations worldwide, COVID-19 has registered more than 2.5 million cases—a figure continuing to rise. And though worldwide policymakers and businesses react quickly, more also needs to be achieved. COVID-19 is not, in general terms, impossible to complete projects at this point. But slow them down, causing delay and damage, although only due to serious disruption of supply chains. Many activities have also ceased, normally with the aim of resuming activity in the future. Measures to overcome or alleviate the impacts of the affecting incidents is or would be taken. Proving that as a result of the COVID-19 case will be a key feature of any allegations made. In accordance with certain rules, parties must continue to use any fairly available means to continue their duties, despite the presence of a force majeure event; the subcontractor's feeling that they are returning to work is good, with all respondents saying their subcontracting staff are eager to engage in the process. Meanwhile, an absence of distribution expertise produces a storm for contractors who accept that the potential sustainability is underpinned by a sustainable supply chain. Most contractors said that they do not have a large supply shortfall due partly to the low workload and supply of goods stockpiling.
