New Technology in construction industry to look out for


The combination of construction and technology is nothing new but its an industry that has been continually evolving for many years. There  are various latest technologies like powerful GPS tracking solutions to new construction apps which are introduced every day in the market. In construction technologies are spreading like wildfire. With new materials, design and greater use of digital and mobile the construction industry is going through a technological renaissance that only continues to grow. We have listed the latest technology trends below in the construction industry.

 

1: Smart Buildings





 As the growth of technology and internet is booming many of them are turning towards smart buildings. Whether this is for homes, business, or public properties there will be a growing demand for bulidings that can automatically control heating, ventilation and every security systems. These buildings come with sensors and microchips embedded in them at the construction stage allowing smart buildings features to be ready as soon as the building is.

2: Energy saving buildings





As well as being smart more buildings will have energy saving features that will reduce ultility bills and ensure top energy ratings. Designers are considering these energy savings measures at the design process of a building. These design helps in reducing carbon footprint which will have lots of impact on environment.

3: Advanced uses for GPS



GPS tracking solutions are not a new innovation they are being used in creative and resourceful ways within construction. Surveying has improved dramatically since the implementation of GPS. There is no need to use traditional surveying equipment. Collecting data for prospective project sites as well as sites under construction is now done more quickly and accurately using GPS units. GPS tracking solutions are also used is within fleet management. Project manager now equip each vehicle with a GPS device that can be tracked on computer or on a smartphone which allows teams to know where exactly the vehicle is Read more.....

Reinforced Cement Concrete

Image
The acronym RCC stands for Reinforced Cement Concrete. An RCC framed structure is essentially a set of slabs, beams, columns and foundations which are interconnected together to form a stable configuration. The transfer of load in such structure takes place from the slabs to the beams, and from the beams to the columns and finally to the foundation which in turn transfers it to the underlying soil.  The floor area of ​​a RCC framed structure is 10 to 12 percent more than that of a load bearing structure because of the load bearing walls that have a relatively large base area compared with footings for a framed structure. Therefore, there is a real economy in case of an RCC framed structure especially where the cost of the land is very high. Most importantly, in case of RCC framed structures, the internal planning of the rooms, bathrooms, W/Cs etc. can be altered by changing the position of the non-loaded partition walls, thus providing greater flexibility in planning and subs

What is pile foundation?

Image
A concrete pile is basically a long cylinder in reinforced concrete that is buried in the ground to act as a stable support for the structures that will be built on top of a platform supported by one or more of said cylinders. The set is known as foundation piles or deep foundations. Pile foundations are mainly required for tall buildings as the design loads are too large to be supported on spread footings. Sometimes, when soil has low SBC or the soil is clayey, a raft or a pile foundation may be the solution.   Piles can by classified in 3 ways: The way in which the load is transferred on to the soil. Method of Installation. Material of construction.   Classification of Piles based on load transfer   Point Bearing Piles If bedrock or hard strata is present within reasonable depth, piles can be extended to rest on the bedrock or penetrate required depth into the hard strata. In this case, the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile depends entirely on the und

What exactly infrastructure engineers do?

Image
Civil infrastructure engineers are required to work with various types of client including private individuals, architects, land developers, master planners and housing developers from one off projects to more regular ongoing assistance and support. They are experienced in developments across sectors including residential, housing, commercial and industrial. Civil infrastructure systems involve design, analysis, and management of infrastructure supporting activities including electric power, oil and gas, water and waste water, communications, transportation and collections of buildings for urban and rural communities. These networks deliver essential services, provide shelter, and support social interactions and economic development. In one line,  they are the lifeline of any society.  Civil infrastructure systems builds on and extends traditional civil engineering areas. Rather than focus on individual structural components or structures, it emphasizes on how different s
