Visual Detection Of Construction Equipment Emission

Construction industry is known as one of the utmost hazardous activites (Hassan, 2007). In Malaysia, construction of skyscrapers and infrastructure had rapidly constructed due to the rapid influx of human workforce into the construction sites. (Omran, 2010). The increase in mega projects in Malaysia lead to more participation of the human workforce for the past few decades. (Omran, 2010). Hence, the influx of high participants had led to a high fatality rate in construction sites. (Omran, 2010). Health and safety awareness in construction industry is critical nowadays. The construction industry injury statistics reveal that the number of construction workers are injured and killed each year (Hinze, 2013). Besides that, the construction industry also characterized as one with a poor safety culture globally (Omran, 2010). Therefore, health and safety awareness level on construction sites have to improve in order to minimize the fatality rate in the construction industry.

The pollution impact can be classified as an additive effect, because the combined effects of several activities, generating emissions during the construction phase, create a greater overall impact. It will take effect as soon as the construction phase starts and keep for all this period. The magnitude and the direction of the impact will vary according to the progress of the work, but it can be considered an impact of large magnitude, because the impact will be On and Off-Site

* Personal damage. From the perspective of the public, the best prevention is to spend as little time as possible outside (e.g., in your yard or balcony) close to a construction site during operation time. Additionally, having a rich vegetation around your home (and between the home and the construction site) will act as a natural filter for the generated pollution, reducing the amount of pollution you may come in contact with. So, planting in your yards or even pot plants in a balcony can help. The greener the better. Also, regular spraying of water around the home will reduce the amount of dust and exposure through inhalation, although the soil and water pollution may increase (but these are less directly affecting you than air!). However, if you believe you are already negatively impacted by a construction site in the vicinity, especially if you have been recently diagnosed with a medical condition involving the respiratory system, you may be entitled to compensation. Evaluate your pollution case for free.

Practicing safety while completing projects should take the cake when prioritizing work. When quality systems are in place and employees are properly trained, a company can thrive by increasing productivity.

In order to perform any task in a more productive manner during construction, equipment must be used. Depending on the scope of work and the size of the job more than one piece of machinery may be used; the model, size, and people operating the equipment will differ too. The equipment, personnel, area, and project factors may be different for every job but they all share a common factor, risk. This factor aids contractors to determine the type of equipment to choose and the supplier to provide the equipment for the project as well.

Due to the scale of the contribution the construction industry makes to the economy it has been the focus of various reports and investigations with the aim of growing and improving the construction industry.

There has been a lot of research done to know the causes of injuries and fatalities occurred on the construction site. A lot of jobs are being conducted simultaneously on the construction site and several workers are employed for these jobs. Due to the pressure of completing work on time the work on the construction projects is always fast moving. As a result, safety responsibilities can become less important which increases the chances of accidents. The need to complete work within the specified time draws the attention away from the safety duties which increases the likelihood for hazards to be ignored. In the several researches conducted in the past, several causes have been identified for the accidents that occur on the construct sites which include the involvement of management, workplace, workers, equipment and other construction related factors. It is vital to understand their responsibilities by construction professionals like designers, architects, general

The purpose of this project is to find a solution from the industry problems of a large consumption of energy and resources, which has a significant role to play in environmental sustainability. The area of solution that this team will research and analyse is the construction waste management strategies. Within the construction waste management strategies the team will research the reusing of material, the recycling of material and the disposing of material. The design criteria created will assist in selecting the most effective alternative solution to be the final proposed solution. The benefits for adopting the final proposed solution is that a criteria has been made to select the most efficient solution from three

The future of our industry lies in how best we can integrate and communicate all our work with various stakeholders to manage a project efficiently. This has given rise to an area called construction informatics where a significant amount of research is being done. The area deals with a range of subjects from integration to interoperability and from knowledge mining to strategic management. This area came into existence from two fields. The first was the use of computers to design and carry out time and cost calculations. The other was for computers to categorize and store essential information. Currently, integration, interoperability, innovation along with strategic management of Information and Communication Technologies are the key areas of research of construction informatics (Isikdag 2009).

The importance of the use of mechanization and automation in construction works appears to be increasing on a daily basis. Manual methods are rapidly giving way to mechanical methods in the effort to increase productivity, meet increasingly complex specifications, construct or actualize the growing complexity of modern designs, utilize the numerous new construction materials that are being introduced into the industry, meet tight schedules and targets placed by clients’ demands,

Our research is applied for a specific package of construction projects (concrete work) based on 17 projects with a 115 records.

Arun Singh Pundir i [21] presents a novel and robust approach for smoke detection that employs Deep Belief Networks. The proposed technique is separated into three stages. In the pre-processing stage, the region of high movement is removed by background subtraction technique. During the next stage smoke pixel intensities are removed from the Red, Green and Blue and Luminance; Chroma: Blue; Chroma: Red colour spaces for foreground regions. Consequently, second characteristic which is based on texture is calculated for identifying smoke regions in which Local Extrema Co-occurrence Pattern, an improved version of local binary patterns are removed from dissimilar foreground regions which calculate not only texture of smoke but also power and

Construction and Demolition waste in short C&D waste is a worldwide issue that concerns not only the construction activities on-site and managers but also the SD of construction industry. In this study, detailed formulas are listed for calculating the costs of three typical kinds of disposal processes of C&D waste. They are Landfill Disposal process V, Recycling process P, and Reuse process S. Maghale 252TOBCTJ

Life-cycle assessment is very important because in the construction industry the life expectancy and maintenance play

With the continuous deterioration of the global environment and increasingly serious ecological problems, it is imperative to promote the sustainable development of the earth. The high speed economic development and urbanization promote the rapid development of construction industry, expand the industrial scale, upgrade the industrial structure, and enhance the project quality. Promoting the sustainable development of construction industry in line with the basic requirement of energy saving and ecological protecting have become important tasks that are attached more importance. Under the background of advocating sustainable development, the construction energy conservation and emission reduction are impossible to ignore. Green construction and its relative technology have emerged and become the hot issue of in future research.
