PRODUCTIVITY RATES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE ACTIVITIES
Produc�vity rates are essen�al for es�ma�ng the dura�on of each ac�vity. These rates can vary
based on numerous factors such as loca�on, labor skill level, equipment efficiency, and
environmental condi�ons. Here are some general produc�vity rates for infrastructure
construc�on ac�vi�es:
Earthwork
• Clearing and Grubbing
o Manual: 0.2 - 0.5 hectares per day per team
o Mechanical: 1 - 2 hectares per day per machine
• Excava�on
o Manual: 1 - 2 cubic meters per worker per day
o Bulldozer (D6/D7): 100 - 150 cubic meters per hour
o Excavator (20-ton): 80 - 100 cubic meters per hour
• Embankment Filling and Compac�on
o Compactor (10-ton): 150 - 200 cubic meters per hour
o Dump Truck (10 cubic meters): 4 - 5 trips per hour (depending on haul distance)
Drainage and U�li�es
• Pipe Laying
o Small Diameter (up to 300mm): 50 - 80 meters per day per crew
o Large Diameter (over 300mm): 20 - 40 meters per day per crew
• Manhole Construc�on
o Standard Manhole: 1 - 2 manholes per day per crew
Ancillary Works
• Road Markings
o Painted Markings: 2,000 - 3,000 meters per day per crew
o Thermoplastic Markings: 1,500 - 2,500 meters per day per crew

PRODUCTIVITY RATES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE ACTIVITIES
Note: These rates are indica�ve and should be adjusted based on local condi�ons and specific
project circumstances. It's advisable to consult local construc�on standards, historical data from
previous projects, and conduct site-specific assessments for more accurate es�mates.
