Abstract: Planning lift activities of mobile cranes for a modular project can raise productivity and improve safety. An optimized lift plan is essential for multiple lifts due to high rental cost of heavy lift cranes. However, ...

Abstract: Modular construction is a common practice for building industrial plants, particularly in the oil sands region of Alberta, Canada. Each module is a project with its own activities and constraints. These modules are ...

Abstract: At present, industrial projects are constructed primarily using a prefabricated approach. The modules are produced in an off-site facility and transported on transport trailers to the construction site where they are lifted ...

Abstract: Improper planning and management of heavy lifts is a major cause of cost overruns, delays, and, more importantly, safety incidents in industrial megaprojects. Automated lift planning is widely acknowledged as an effective ...

Abstract: On-site construction of industrial projects relies heavily on large mobile cranes for the lifting of prefabricated modules, which over the years have become heavier and more voluminous. Industrial construction sites are ...
