Abstract
A specialty conference on earthmoving and heavy equipment was held on February 5–7, 1986, at Tempe, Arizona, under the sponsorship of the Committee on Construction Equipment and Techniques, Construction Division of ASCE. The objective of the conference was to foster an exchange of ideas concerning the economical field utilization of earthmoving and heavy construction equipment. The presentations by a number of knowledgeable speakers, and the resulting discussions among these individuals and the audience, provided an effective forum for summarizing the status of the industry and examining new developments which may be expected in the near future. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the primary topics of discussion and to conceptualize the future development of the earthmoving and heavy equipment industry.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
