Choosing the Optimal Place on the Construction Site for Installing the Tower Crane Using Information Technologies

Proper positioning of tower cranes at the construction site leads to increased labor productivity and reduces transportation costs within work zones. Tower crane planning procedures include selection, placement, and operation. Planning the sequence of tower crane usage begins at the early stages of construction projects and serves as the basis for making further decisions, both for dynamic and static models of construction sites. However, due to the dynamic structure of factors determining site parameters, such planning is often complex and inefficient. Choosing the wrong spatial placement of a tower crane solely based on constraints, guiding factors, or previous experience can result in additional costs and project delays. Utilizing modern information modeling technologies combined with optimization methods can make the process of spatially locating tower cranes more efficient and precise. These technologies help visualize the spatial placement of all construction assets on the site throughout the project implementation period, ensuring better results for both physical space utilization and machine technical specifications. The main goal of this work is to synthesize scientific experience in optimizing the selection of tower cranes, their type, quantity, and placement on the construction site.
