Efficient Pipe Installation Support Method for Module Build
نویسنده
چکیده
The number of large industrial plants being planned and constructed in Japan has increased tremendously in recent times. By reducing the construction costs involved in the development of these plants, authors can reduce the initial investment required, thereby ensuring a more economical use of monetary resources. However, construction work still requires considerable skill and labor. Hence, it is necessary to develop new systems and processes for construction. In this study, authors have investigated the construction of a large plant by means of a fixed method that employs large-scale machinery. In order to reduce the construction costs, authors have considered the module method of construction. Furthermore, authors have also attempted to simplify the machinery involved in the construction, reduce the time required for installation, equalize the work performed on the site, and improve the quality and safety of construction. In order to attain these objectives, authors have presented a CAD-coordinated method for efficient installation of pipes.
