Building a Better Future
It is high time to address the challenges faced by the global construction industry
The global construction industry is a critical sector that contributes significantly to the global economy and overall development.
However, the industry is also recognized as one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation and a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the industry is associated with numerous health and safety concerns, particularly for workers involved in manual labor tasks.
Another questions that still have to be addressed is the lagging industry productivity and sufficient economic costs that keep increasing over time.
Innovations through Construction 3D printing
Construction automation and robotics refer to the use of technology in construction to automate and streamline various tasks. This technology includes robotics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and advanced sensors.
This technology is designed to provide a high degree of precision, reduce waste, improve safety standards, and generally make construction processes
faster and more efficient.
Development Prospects
StartUs Insights (2022): Already in 2023, 3D construction printing will be among top 10 trends & innovations of the international construction industry, alongside with BIM, construction robotics and development of advanced building materials.
KPMG (2023): By 2030, construction will experience “substantial growth in innovative, localized sourcing, which cuts transportation costs and lowers carbon footprint”. Such a transition will be mostly driven by 3D printing.
Transparency Market Research (2022): By 2032, global construction 3d printing market is projected to hit over $ 519.49 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of more than 65%. Its expansion can be attributed to growing demand for affordable housing solutions and the increasing awareness of 3D printing technologies in construction companies
Innovations through Automation & Robotics
The Concept
Construction automation involves the use of machines and smart tools to carry out general construction tasks such as excavating, bricklaying, orconcrete pouring.
Robotic systems come equipped with sensors and other advanced technologies to enhance accuracy, precision and safety standards. Examples ofcontstruction robotic systems includes drones, autonomous mason, and exoskeleton suits.
This technology is designed to provide a high degree of precision, reduce waste, improve safety standards, and generally make construction processesfaster and more efficient. By automating many of the routine tasks, workers can focus on more complex and challenging aspects of construction, ultimately delivering better and more cost-effective projects.
