Technology role in safety management of Iraqi construction projects

Iraqi construction industry is not away from high number of injuries and fatalities, to control this problem, Mobile Application Technologies (MATS), might offer a promising solution. Improved risk management will increase the productivity of the construction companies which might resulted in enhancing Iraqi national economy. This research addressed the most current used MATS in managing OSH in the construction projects, and highlighted the most benefits and limitations of using these technologies in the field of Iraqi construction projects. This aim achieved by conducting a comprehensive study of the related literature, by analysing a questionnaire response of 98 construction project managers, who are working in a small and medium sized company, BIM and WSDS were identified as the most current used MATS in the Iraqi construction projects, But with a low rate of occurrence about 25%. ’Eliminate hazard during the design phase’ and ’Help visualize hazard’ are the most two benefits of MATS with a rate of occurrence about 75%. However, ’Extra costs associated with technology’, ’Little or no government regulations for use’ are the most two limited factors of using MATS in OSH management in the Iraqi construction projects. In this research the suggestion for the future research has introduced

Creation of intelligent management systems in construction

The article deals with the problems of creation of intelligent management system by investment and construction projects. The relevance of research is due to the fact that in modern Russian construction there are frequent delays in terms of construction, the excess of budgets in the projects and low quality products. One of the main reasons of this situation is the poor organization of the production process at the construction site and that leads to a significant loss of workers’ time and construction machinery, to an inefficient use of material resources. The creation of intelligent management system in construction implies a fundamental change in the construction management technology starting from the date of fixation and transmission of information from the construction site, its systematization and finally development and making management decisions. The introduction of intelligent management system means a significant increase of registered options and data volumes while increasing its transmission speed at the construction site and that determines the need for developing the appropriate information technology and the Internet use

Adaptive organizational and technological modelsin the systems of construction management

The analysis of the existing management systems of investment and construction projects showed that organizational and technological models, used for the development of calendar plans, are static and do not reflect changes in the course of work execution in real-time, this does not allow to synchronize the terms of work execution and supply of resources and it leads to significant losses in the use of workforce and construction machinery. Adaptability of organizational and technological models in the developed intelligent construction management system is provided through the use of special algorithms and models for the disaggregation of planned information and the aggregation of actual information about works, the deviations calculation of the actual characteristics from the planned values, the elaboration and the decision-making of adjusting the model to the organizational and technological normal practically in real-tim

Information technology integration processes for the sustainable development of construction

The paper discusses the issues of creating a single information space for all participants in the investment and construction project, from the investor to the equipment manufacturers. The analysis of the existing information technologies used in the ICP management made it possible to distinguish four main classification groups. Of particular interest are the so-called integrator systems focused on combining the solution of tasks of certain functional areas of ICP management on one digital platform. Integrator systems, with all their merits, are a set of local information technologies and specialized software performing the functions of exchanging information between them using agreed protocols. At the same time, the main issue that was and remains on the agenda in the field of digitalization of the ICP management system is not being resolved - the creation of an information base that suits both designers and builders in terms of completeness and detail. At the Don State Technical University (DSTU), work is underway to create an intelligent ICP management system, which will ensure the integration of all stages of ICP management by creating an information base at the design stage in the BIM process that allows solving all organizational and technological problems both at the stages of COP, WPP and during operational management of the erection of construction facilities
