With sensors and mobile applications, construction machinery advances...

Digital and telematics digital machine management solutions are clearly on their way to becoming the new standard in the construction industry. The crane manufacturer Manitowoc, based in Milwaukee (USA), showed in bauma how a smartphone application can make daily work easier for its users. The company developed a free application that helps the crane operator interpret the diagnostic codes generated by the on-board control system and displayed in the cabin. Instead of waiting for specialized technical personnel, the crane owner can use the information to begin solving the problem immediately, which improves the operating time. The machines are identified by a QR code and examined using individual checklists on the smartphone. Users and landlords can digitally document damages and defects in images and texts. In addition, a general description of the fleet allows landlords to immediately see which machines are available, rented or in maintenance. Use sensors to differ...

The drones under construction opens a promising horizon

Imagen
Expert opinions suggest that the use of drones will be widespread, at least in the medium term. The main reasons that would justify the use of drones in construction are diverse. First, because of its potential to plan, promote or market new works or projects. For example, using virtual reality techniques and 3D digital models, it is possible to reproduce the integration of a project in the built environment or the views that would be had from a window or viewpoint of a new building. From the strictly constructive point of view, the use of drones will allow better monitoring of the works, both from the point of view of the progress of the works and the inspection of the work units, the logistics of the works or the suitability of Occupational safety and health measures. Finally and no less important are the applications that can be carried out by combining the capabilities of drones with other technologies such as digital manufacturing, BIM (Building Information Models) ...

The construction machinery.

Heavy machinery Here are those that have large geometric proportions matching them concerning traditional street vehicles, has considerable volume and weight. They need a trained operator who needs a special card for heavy machinery, given the complexity of the controls and their functionality. Types of heavy machinery In the classification of heavy machinery for construction, from the perspective of the works and their activities, a wide variety of equipment is used and affect a wide range of public works (mainly civil engineering) or private. Earthworks, roads, clearing, dams, dredging, drilling tunnels and trenches, excavations or deep foundations. So the construction equipment used is several as well as its dimensions, but the main ones - if we talk about large equipment - we can divide them: Excavator The backhoe Dredgers Dragline The mototrailla The spit Paver The compactor The motor grader Water tanks Dump trucks Tractors The loader...

Tools used in construction

Imagen
Some many machines and tools are used in an industry that is so important and that moves the economy of any country, such as construction. The purpose of this post is to spread the knowledge of the machines and tools that are involved in these works, which reduces time and achieves a better quality of the services provided. Machines and tools used in construction: Battery drills: They are used to drill holes on surfaces that are not extremely hard and that require less energy and greater precision Poly cutting tools. They are used to cut steel from beams, chassis, columns, blocks and slabs. In the construction industry, poly cutting machines and tools must be operated by specialized and professional personnel. These are equipment that require extreme safety conditions. Hammer Drills They are used to break up excesses of ant. They are generally classified according to weight as follows: 5 KG, 10 Kg, 15 Kg, 30 Kg. Submersible pump They are used to...

Lavalin Chile is a subsidiary of the Canadian firm, globally the firm faces a complex financial situation, which has put at risk its investment grade. Subsequently, a contract of US $ 260 million was conferred to build two acid plants in the Chuquicamata smelter of Codelco. The legal action against SNC-Lavalin was presented by Tecnocys, in which it affirmed non-compliance with the payments established in the contract for the construction of the sulfuric acid plants for the Chuquicamata Foundry. “There is a green light to move forward with the forced liquidation process, which includes the appointment of the liquidator, the seizure of the assets and all the actions that a bankruptcy process entails,” explained the plaintiff lawyer Luis Gálvez. In this way, the company denounced expressly stated that the alleged executive title that was challenged before that court can be refuted at a later stage, that is, precisely in the liquidation trial. All this sharpened the situatio...
