Types And Uses of Advanced Construction Equipment
Construction equipment is an integral part of the construction process. From pile drivers to bulldozers, all kinds of construction equipment are used for building different structures. It is hence important to understand these constructions and how they are designed properly. Truck drivers play a vital role in this industry as they transport equipment to job sites. They also play a key role in maintaining the transportation of equipment to the job site along with the building process. Construction equipment like dump trucks can be used to assist other vehicles in building construction projects.
Construction equipment is considered to be the backbone of our society. It provides for us when nothing else will. Cars, houses, buildings, roads, and even mining equipment all rely on machinery to work properly. With this in mind let us look at the construction equipment the best brands in the industry have to offer.
Top 4 Construction Equipment Advances
Telematics
Grade control
Payload weighing
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones
Telematics
Telematics is the measurement of equipment-operating parameters. It’s a way of obtaining data the normal sensors couldn’t get. This allows us to get faster access to vital operating parameters that can enhance equipment productivity.
Telematics is the collection and integration of data from machine-to-machine communications to remotely monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot mobile equipment. It uses GPS technology to help track mobile machinery. The technology was created to monitor fleets of vehicles in real-time, collecting data that can pinpoint the location, health and safety status of each piece of equipment.
Grade control
Grade control is an integral part of grading operations for all types of foundations in both highways and engineering works. In basic terms, grade refers to the vertical elevation of a highway or any kind of engineering work in respect to its surroundings.
Grading is the process of using specially engineered equipment to produce approximate grade control for roadways, airport runways, railroad beds and other surfaces where vehicles travel over the ground. Grading can also alter drainage patterns and produce artificial hills and valleys to alter the flow of water or create reservoirs.
Payload weighing
Payload weighing is a feature of heavy machinery allowing the operator to determine the weight of cargo and all necessary equipment needed to load, transport and unload such cargo. This feature facilitates maintenance and works planning as well as schedule control. Payload weighing can be performed at any time during the loading, unloading or transport process except the process of unloading itself.
Payload weighing is an essential part of operating heavy machinery safely. The vehicle’s payload is the maximum weight that it can carry. Dealing with heavy equipment can be very exciting especially if you are into construction projects. However, when you are handling this kind of machinery, safety should always be observed to prevent accidents.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones
UAVs or drones have been used for several applications including military, safety, and security. Drones have been used for search and rescue missions, monitoring wildfires, gathering news footage, and agriculture.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones are influencing the construction industry in many ways. From aerial photography, thermal imaging to infrared (IR) mapping, UAVs are helping construction companies like yours to gain an edge over the competition.
