Advanced Construction Technologies

 

3D Printing

 In the Construction industry, the traditional methods are unchanged for decades. Several New and Innovative technologies are creating and developing in the current industry. At the same time, traditional methods are still using by peoples. Because there are hurdles to accept the innovative methods and designs. Peoples are unaware of new technologies and they get doubtful about their strength and cost of construction.

Alter methods or New Technologies Impact on Construction Industry

1.GFRG wall panel

The Abbreviation of GFRG is Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum wall panel using in modern construction. It is basically in white color and glossy finish. So, there is no need for wall Plastering activity. For that, there is a chance to reductions in the cost of constructions up to 30 percentage of total costs. We can directly apply for painting works. It gives an aesthetic look.

GFRG panels are only made in the factories and transporting to the construction site. Hydraulic Cranes to be used for lifting and erection purposes.

We need vacant land or Some space for the Unloading and crane movement to the erection.

Building Material and Technology Promotion Council of India-(BMTPCI) approved GFRG Panel as a construction material to use for construction in India

GFRG has some major benefits. they are,

• Fire Resistance up to 1000℃
• Temperature reducer upto 4℃
• Earthquake resistant
• Eco-friendly
• Water-Resistant
• And Economical

2.3D Printing House

In India First 3D printed house built in IIT-Madras, It is named TVASTA. It consists of One Hall, Bedroom, and Kitchen and the total built-up area of the house is around 600 sq. ft.

This house completely designed by using Concrete 3D Printing technology,

The duration of this house construction project is really a miracle because it is totally completed in only five days. But If we use traditional methods, it takes around five to six months.

This technology used houses strength has expected for 50 years and total construction costs reduced up to 30%

3.Mobile Technology

Mobile technology isn’t just for games anymore. Apps are becoming more of the norm in construction and for good reason. So if you want to start implementing technology, this is a good place to start.

Mobile technology can help to save time and keep your project moving forward faster by providing real-time updates and making information available between the job site and the office. Integrating this type of technology into your current processes can be much simpler and require a smaller upfront investment while still providing major benefits and boosting productivity in your day-to-day operations. The increased portability of tablets and smartphones allows for greater communication and the ability to work from anywhere. You can easily access the latest revisions to plans or report a problem to the project manager off-site.

4. Building Information Modelling

BIM is a process of building digital data and it offers 3D data which helps in proper and accurate planning. BIM is similar to CAD (computer-aided design), but not exactly the same. It captures things in a way that paper just can’t. The use of BIM provides space for better collaboration because each person and expertise area can add their piece to the same model, instead of breaking out onto multiple versions of a 2D paper drawing. BIM also helps with problem-solving in the design and planning stages of a project, by automating clash detection and providing a more complete picture of the project. This way, the model evolves immediately as people contribute, streamlining the process and increasing efficiency. But its capabilities don’t stop there: “It doesn’t just create a visually appealing 3D model of your building—it creates numerous layers of metadata and renders them within a collaborative workflow,” writes Engineering.com. It is software for 3D design to digitally model what will be built.

5.Artificial Intelligence

It can also identify when information or pieces are missing and ask questions, and use the data it collects. “AI can replicate the judgments, decisions, and actions of humans without getting fatigued,” said Dan Kara of ABI Research. The construction industry is already seeing the implementation of artificial intelligence on the job site with the use of robotics for tasks like bricklaying and autonomous equipment that can operate and complete tasks without the need for human interaction.

AI can benefit construction projects through increased safety, improving workflows, and getting jobs done faster and better.
