Introduction: A lot of information, equipment, materials and work in construction A lot of risks and difficulties in construction. A lot of meetings, data and communications in construction.
Technology Impact on Construction: 3D/4D Technology. Sensing Technology. Computer programs.
3D/4D Model Application : 1. Photorealistic Rendering. 2. Virtual Design Review 3. Analyzing Design Options/Building Operations 4. Cost Estimating 5. Analyzing Construction Operations 6. Construction Document Production 7. Bid Package Preparation
Application of sensing technology: Safety injury and illness in construction industries 5 times the all-industry average. 1200 deaths and disabling injuries per year. Annual cost of construction injuries is over 15 billion $.
Sensor Technology: Radio Frequency Technology alerts the worker by recognizing and detecting hazards environment. Ultra Wideband (UWB) advanced technology More accurate
Computer Program: DSS (Decision Support System) enhance the project administration. construction conflict resolution under uncertainty. Help in deciding the negotiation strategy course of action
I&C Technology impact: A lot of information that transfer between the project parties. Good communication- successful project. Bad communication – Fail project.
I&C Technology impact: Construction Negotiation Online CoNegO Smartsettle software technology improve the speed of communication
I&C Technology impact: Advantages of negotiation Online Enhance efficiency of negotiation preparation Computing facilitates of CoNegO Flexible time and management
I&C Technology impact: Difficulties Adjustment and adapt the senior employees with this technology efficient way of using the technology duplication between paper work and technology work follow
Direction of Future Technology The technology has not limit to stop Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is a way that deals with understanding, mentoring, controlling and manipulating matter at very small level of individual and molecules in the range of 0.1 to 100 nanometer (10 exp -9), creating materials, devices and systems, with new properties and functions
Direction of Future Technology Nanotechnology future impact generating initiative and innovation that develop construction material structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure design of intelligent structures
Benefits of Technology Increasing the Productivity Saving Cost Saving Time Improve the quality
Conclusion: latest existing technologies that are useful for project construction and administration. Technology plays important role to enhance the safety environment in the work place. The computer program can play important role to reduce the claims and disputes. Defining the nanotechnology and show it’s advantages.
