Abstract It is now imperative to create smart systems that prevent mechanical damage through timely preventive maintenance, particularly in construction projects with strict time schedules and budgets. Construction equipment the largest capital investment for companies. Proper maintenance of major importance efficiency, productivity, minimization costs, environmental management. The aim this st...

Compaction of soils different composition is widely used in all types construction. To carry out these works, the domestic industry produces various machinery and equipment. The range tools constantly expanding. Their capacity also growing their working bodies are improving. Under conditions, issue increasing productivity, quality work very important, which possible only with right choice gener...

Identifying the environmental impact of construction operations would be the first step to implement environmentally sustainable construction operations. To this end, it is essential to reliably estimate the emissions from construction equipment, which account for the largest share for the total impacts of construction operations. This paper presents a methodology to integrate discrete-event si...

This paper introduces the concept of macro-manipulators as the means whereby the full robotisation of construction may become practicable. Two examples of full scale machines which are in the process of commercialisation are presented to illustrate the feasibility of the technology. The paper examines in brief the applications potential of these devices in relation to the broad processes that c...
