3D-Modeling for Crane Selection and Logistics for Modular Construction On-Site Assembly
Adequate crane position on construction site required large amount of site data to be collected, prior to any lift operation. Existed permanent/ non-permanent obstructions as well as objects being placed on their final position, must be considered for each lift. This paper presents a methodology for crane selection and on-site utilization evolutionary algorithm for multi-lifts for modular construction. The proposed methodology accounts for cranes capacity limitation as well as evaluates the crane carrier/body position and orientation. State-of-the-art methodology incorporate evolutionary algorithm that reacts to dynamic changing site conditions. This paper introduces a case study where the objectives were to simplify and optimize the field assembly operation for 5- three-storey dormitory buildings including bridges and large roofs in McGregor Village for Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA. Each dormitory contains three types of modules and a total of 18 separate modular units. Fully habitable elements were delivered securely on flatbed trailers to the site in advance. An all-terrain mobile hydraulic crane placed in the center of construction site lift each module and placed like a puzzle floor by floor for each building at predefined position. All 100 lifts were conducted in only 10 working days.
