2 Construction systems Mechanised construction system

A construction system is a technical installation, assembling building parts into a building. An installation is a collection of equipment, computers, telecommunication devices and people working alone or together.

5 6 AMURAD Eleven-Story Building Going Up the AMURAD Way

Kajima has developed a fully automated building construction method, AMURAD, where the top floor of a building is constructed first, then raised so that the next floor can be constructed beneath it. This method is being used on the (tentatively named) Yokogawa Construction New Headquarters Project, scheduled for completion in September 1997. In January 1997, the 11th floor section, which is the top floor, was lifted up and secured into position.

Breaking Construction Effectiveness in Dense Metropolitan Environments

We realize that you are not going to be merely satisfied with just the accurate creation of a good design. We know that if you were in charge of a certain project, you would look for the kind of expertise that could also bring down construction time and come to completion within budget. Takenaka has been a leader in developing many systematized construction methods that address these issues and more. The methods we introduce here are part of a revolutionary unified system. Takenaka possesses the technical expertise to resolve all the tough issues that construction work can pose.
