  • The 9Th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction June 3-5,1992 Tokyo, Japan
    The 9th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction June 3-5,1992 Tokyo, Japan Direction-Controlled Lifting System Masahiro Nishimura Construction Technology Development Department Taisei Corporation 3-25-1 Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan Shigeyuki Yamashita Engineering Department TOKIMEC Engineering Inc 2-16-46 Minami-Kamata, Ota-ku Tokyo Japan Norimitsu Yoshihama Yokohama Landmark Tower Building Project Site Office, Yokohama Branch, Taisei Corporation 3-2-1 Minatomirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Japan ABSTRACT In the construction of a high-rise building, structural members can be turned by the wind during lifting, making installation work more difficult and reducing productivity. This paper describes a system for the control of rotation around the vertical axis during the lifting of members. The system consists of three major units; a sensing unit, an operation unit, and an actuating unit. The operation unit incorporates a rate gyro, which keeps track of the lifted members in initial direction. It controls the actuating unit, which consists of a pair of blowers that stabilize orientation during lifting. Although this system contributes greatly to safety and work efficiency when used alone, it will also be an extremely useful sub-system in the future total automation of construction. 1. INTRODUCTION In the construction of a super-high-rise building, it is generally the case that the more stories to be constructed, the greater the number of working days lost due to inclement weather. The major causes of this loss are rainfall and strong winds. While some days on which work must be halted occur even in the construction of lower stories regardless of the height, days lost to strong winds occur more frequently as the working height increases.

  • 2011-2012 HR Service Delivery and Technology Research Report
    Keep Your Eye on the Prize An ERM Update on the Global Insurance Industry April 2013 2012 Global Insurance ERM Survey Report Since our 2010 survey, Financial Crisis Puts the Spotlight on ERM, insurers have endured volatile investment markets, persistently low interest rates, and a number of major natural and man-made catastrophes. Meanwhile, insurance regulations around the world are undergoing significant change, adding to the uncertainty and in some regions drawing materially on resources, with unclear tangible benefits to the business. As insurers set priorities for 2013 and beyond, there is a need to focus on those aspects of enterprise risk management (ERM) that will truly add value to your business, and to “Keep Your Eye on the Prize” — the theme we have chosen for our 2012 Global Insurance ERM Survey.
