OSTI ID:6316378
Productivity loss in construction projects where boom town conditions exist was shown to be quantifiable. Proper identification of this effect could result in savings of billions of dollars to the US energy industry by improving cost esimation and subsequent project selection. Methods are suggested for identifying such an effect by use of accumulated data and research on boom town locations in the US.
