Construction Methodologies and Management

PC technology has seen little innovation in its manufacturing process over several decades, resulting in little flexibility in production time and cost as well as inefficient designs. This research theme aims to change this by advancing the manufacturing methods of PC through automation, improving durability and reducing cost and carbon emissions.  

Research Topics 

  • 3D printing of concrete
  • 3D printing of stay-in-place forms
  • Automation of PC installation
  • Material price volatility risk mitigation
  • PC construction management optimization
  • BIM and game simulation for installation analysis
