Mega-Project Construction Management: The Corps of Engineers and Bechtel Group inSaudi Arabia

摘要

This thesis seeks to develop empirical hypotheses for successful constructionmanagement of international mega-projects through a multiple exploratory case study methodology. The case study involves two construction programs recently completed in Saudi Arabia by American engineering/construction firms. The first is a $6 billion military facility that was constructed for the Saudi Arabian Army by the US Marine Corps of Engineers at Al Batin from 1976-1987. The second is a $20 billion industrial port city constructed by Bechtel Group at Jubail from 1976
