HOW AUTOMATED MACHINERY CAN SPEED UP ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN OUR CITIES?
The Machinist
|September 2023
The article explores into the ways in which the adoption of smart and advanced technology expedites and enhances road construction processes, resulting in cost savings and reduced reliance on labour.
Before we talk about the acceleration of road construction through automated machinery, we need to look at the challenges that exist in the sector. Foremost among these challenges is the scarcity of skilled workforce. In terms of the machinery, the available choices are limited.
Furthermore, there exists a lack of intent towards faster execution. When we look at logistical issues, we find that the machines required to speed up road construction are often not available where needed. Clients also hesitate to extend deadlines, especially for work on busy public roads. This is because blocking roads and diverting traffic for a long time, negatively affects the whole process.
AUTOMATION IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION THE DIFFERENCE IT CAN MAKE?
