Sustainable Technology

 The Green Building concept, whose global name is “Green Building”, has begun to shape the way we work in the construction industry. As we all know, the words "Green Building" or sustainable construction are generally used to mean the environmentally friendly design of an environmentally friendly building that provides high energy efficiency or the infrastructure system itself. In this context, the “Green Building” concept can include the use of solar panels, automation technology, green materials and more to create a building.

However, when it comes to the concept of "Green Building", green construction is much more than the environmental friendliness of the building or infrastructure when it involves the structuring process. Sustainable, that is, green construction, primarily requires contractors and operators; It begins at the construction site, where it encourages the creation and adoption of new technologies and innovations. The ultimate goal is to reduce the use of natural resources on the construction site. Doing this often requires the use of technology to reduce environmental damage. Research indicates that this preference will increase and the market (green technology in construction) will grow.

Energ Efficient Construction Equipment and Sustainability

The key to making the construction site greener and more environmentally friendly is to modify the machines and equipment used on the site in accordance with the sustainable green concept. 

When we look at the general picture; It would not be wrong to say that construction equipment does not work independently of each other, but as an interconnected network. This situation completely affects the efficiency of construction machinery and equipment. Construction companies have the ability to measure variables such as machine performance, health and fuel consumption within this network model. In this way, they can gain an advantage, which can help the business optimize its financial structure, that is, reduce its costs and energy consumption.

Let's give a few examples of these technological innovations that provide advantages to companies in many ways:

Real-Time Data Sharing: Today, the adaptations made in loader machines make the technology and advantages of loaders stand out. For example, it can share data in real time by measuring bucket load, total truck load and total tons transported for the operator. This enables the operator to use working dynamics effectively.

Optimized Workforce: We can see another example in optional throttle loaders. This technology has an innovation that provides engine power only when necessary. Thus, it is possible to save approximately 20% of energy.

Data Sharing with Touch Screens: Another example is technological screens that can simultaneously transfer data to the operator by measuring the pressure and temperature of each tire via built-in touch screens.

Fuel Efficiency: When we look at the future of wheel loaders, we can say that technological innovation will provide incredible advantages. For example; Efficiency can be increased by approximately 25% thanks to the use of electric drive technology with generator, inverter and engine to maximize fuel efficiency.

These types of new technologies are innovations that pave the way for making the construction site sustainable and will shape the future of the construction industry and create opportunities.

Rising Trend: Green Building

Solidiance, a consulting firm with expertise in industrial applications and green technology; It suggests that the green building concept will be the trend of the near future that provides sustainable and profitable growth. Solidiance analyzes and evaluates green building policies and targets in cities around the world. According to the company's predictions, construction site projects shaped with the green building concept will be adopted over time and transformed into an international standard with a certification request.

solidiance; He also shares that although technology investments in construction sites may slow down the internal growth of the company, they will also provide advantages to companies. The 3 basic steps expected to provide these advantages are;

Increasing operational safety

Increasing operational efficiency

Green awareness / prioritizing green sustainable business operations

We can say that the fact that photovoltaic solar panels are now preferred instead of diesel engine power plants, especially in mining constructions where green awareness trends are increasing rapidly around the world, and that many construction companies use environmentally friendly rubber products and other environmentally friendly products, is an important indicator that this new rising trend will determine the future of the construction industry.
