Equipments are main assets of a company in today’s scenario with increase in infrastructure heavy demand with increase in complexity of construction, plant and equipment has become integral part of every project. In big infrastructure projects like Highway construction projects, equipment’s and the plants play a vital role in the construction process. Plant and equipment contribute great deal towards speed, quality, safety and efficiency of a project. With growing use of machinery in construction it has become necessary for Engineers to thoroughly familiar with the working application and upkeep of the wide range of the modern equipment. So, we have to adopt latest technology, modern equipment & modern management techniques to achieve economy , quality and quick results. The largest single controllable expenditure in a project is factors affecting productivity, performance of equipment, management of equipment. Optimizing the return on productivity is now a key strategy for most process projects or plants and equipments being used by construction industry. The aim of this paper is to highlight the productivity assessment of construction equipment’s used for highway project based on the factors and is also aimed to identifying the best practices of improving the productivity of equipment for the Indian scenario.
