This research was conducted between 2014 and 2019; getting to work on four major real estate projects. In the course of the last five years (2014 - 2019), construction trends in the city of Lima, especially in the “Top” and “Modern” districts, show us that the buildings continue to grow, constantly increasing the number of floors; requiring therefore more parking, which are necessarily located in the basements. Now, all this develops, while at the same time we only find small land in the city. Since we also demonstrate that the construction of basements, for parking purposes, is economically a bad business, we see very clearly that it is justified to make all possible efforts to improve the economic results of the execution of excavation works and underground civil Works. In order to dig and build the basements, we have different technical solutions, such as footwear, screen walls, piloting and anchored walls. The most used technical solution in our environment is the “Anchored Walls“, which consists in executing the excavation and containment of the same, through “rings“ of reinforced concrete, which are tensioned (post strength system), to continue with the excavation in next level. The planning and time management of these works is carried out through the use of Lean Construction tools, also supported by some important principles such as the critical path method, theory of constraints and new tools such as the Flowline. Until 2014, we saw that the triple shoring formwork system was generally used, which consists of supporting the panel or contact face, with a three-level strut system, supported by a firm base, constituted by a large mass of land, where a boarding is supported that serves to support the props. The large land mass can be prepared with an excavator; however, by 2014 it was commonly seen that they were running with a backhoe. The measurements made in some projects, where the triple shoring system is used, show us that the fulfillment of the programmed activities was too low, thereby decreasing the reliability in the programming of the works. This low reliability was reflected in the operational results of the projects. However, by studying the causes of non-compliance well, we see that day-to-day programming necessarily depends on the operational capacity of the support machine, the “critical chain” of the project. We understand that it is definitely necessary to use a crawler excavator. Analyzing the physics of production, and understanding the innate variability of our industry, we conclude that we must reduce the steps to execute the screen walls; in order to increase the inventory (work in process), increasing the time (by eliminating a process), maintaining the operational capacity, thereby maintaining controlled costs; achieving with all this a reduction of the variability, increasing the reliability in the programming and the work system. To achieve what was described in the preceding paragraph, we completely eliminated the use of props, with this we changed the triple shoring system, to a buried system, which allowed us to increase compliance with the plan, by more than 14%; achieving with it not only the fulfillment of the deadlines, but also important savings in the project, both in direct costs, as in general expenses and operative items. We conclude the recent investigation, delivering the constructive procedure that make to achieve the improvements presented here.
