Improving hoist planning for tall buildings

该行业合作伙伴确定了需要进步和创新技术来改善高层建筑（40层以上）的起重机规划，并制定提高起重生产率的战略。施工升降机是手动操作的封闭式电梯吊笼，在桁架塔上垂直移动，将人员和小型货物安全地运送到上层。本研究的目的是开发模型的起重机规划和创新的起重战略，适合该公司的项目管理实践，并提供战略，以提高起重机的生产力。这将通过开发模拟模型来实现，这些模型允许使用代表风险因素的随机变量来测试和比较各种战略。从多个模拟运行产生的数据将用于开发分析模型，可能以回归方程，图表和表格的形式，可以随时使用和应用于比较提升规划策略及其产生的生产力和成本。

The industry partner identified the need for advances and innovative technologies to improve hoist planning for the construction of tall buildings (more than 40 stories) and development of strategies that improve hoisting productivity. Construction hoists are manually-operated, enclosed elevator cages that travel vertically on truss towers to move personnel and small cargo safely to upper floors. The objective of this research is to develop models for hoist planning and innovative hoisting strategies tailored to the company's project management practices and provide strategies to improve hoist productivity. This will be achieved through the development of simulation models that allow various strategies to be tested and compared using stochastic variables that represent risk factors. Data resulting from multiple simulation runs will then be used to develop analytical models, likely in the form of regression equations, charts, and tables, which can be readily used and applied to compare hoist planning strategies and their resulting productivity and costs.
