Abstract:

Most operations in construction take place at the job site and involve installation and erection of materials. Certain materials, however, are prepared in fixed plant facilities either on or off-site and then moved to the site to be installed or erected. These fixed plant facilities have many similarities to traditional manufacturing plants and, therefore, offer excellent candidate processes for automation. Typical of these fixed plant operations are precast processing plants, modularized housing operations, and stone cutting and finishing mills.
