Construction Machinery-1

This document discusses various types of construction machinery used in civil engineering projects, both for in-land and off-shore construction. It describes excavators, bulldozers, rollers, dump trucks, loaders, graders, pavers, concrete pumps, cranes, and other machinery used for tasks like excavation, grading, hauling materials, compacting, paving, mixing and pouring concrete, lifting heavy loads, drilling, and tunneling. The document provides examples of how each type of machinery is used at construction sites for surface and subsurface projects like transportation, buildings, dams, and underground utilities.
