The Role of Feasibility Studies in Civil Engineering: The Effect of Planning and Execution Stage in Preparing These Studies

This study examines the critical role of feasibility studies in civil engineering projects and investigates the impact of the planning and execution phases on the quality and outcomes of these studies. Civil engineering projects, particularly large-scale ones, typically progress through three critical phases: feasibility and briefing, engineering and construction, and commissioning and maintenance, each contributing to the overall enhancement of project performance. The research emphasizes that a carefully executed feasibility study is essential for decision-making, ensuring that a proposed project is technically, commercially, and environmentally viable prior to the allocation of significant resources.
