Facility location in linear construction projects plays a vital role in optimizing operational efficiency. In real-world conditions, both mobile and immobile concrete batching facilities are typically used to construct viaducts, bridges, and tunnels along a planned route over a specified planning horizon. This study aims to propose a bi-objective model for the green locating of facilities in linear construction projects, considering both mobile and immobile batching. All types of facilities have a given capacity, operational cost, and CO2 emissions. Two objective functions are considered for simultaneous optimization: total expected cost and total CO2 emissions. The performance of the proposed model is confirmed using the data of a real case in linear construction projects in Iran. Moreover, sensitivity analysis represents the effect of variations in four key parameters on two objective functions and the final values of decision variables. The result confirms the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed model and represents the conflict between the two objective functions. In addition, the result indicates that the solution approach could provide proper alternatives for managers in various conditions. The findings underline the importance of green practices in facility management within linear construction, ultimately contributing to the broader discourse on eco-friendly infrastructure development.
