Planning Temporary Hoists for Building Construction
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2009: Building a Sustainable Future
Abstract
An effective plan of temporary hoists is important in building construction that demands much vertical transportation of resources during the construction phase. Almost every trade of building project relies on hoists to move personnel, materials, and equipment in vertical direction. Thus, the availability of such equipment inevitably influences performance of each trade. Despite its significant roles and functions in building construction, it is challenging to develop an effective plan for the procurement, install, and operation of the equipment. One needs to deal with many decision variables and information associated with decision-making with regard to the selection, erection, operation, and maintenance of hoists. Understanding such significance and difficulties, the present research initiative intends to develop a method that can support decision-making process of planning hoists for building construction. This paper reports the results of the first phase of the present research.
