SINGAPORE: The Housing and Development Board has rolled out the use of artificial intelligence to enhance worker safety at its construction sites.
It added: “The automated system will reduce the risk of inconsistent safety standards across different supervising personnel, as well as human errors that could occur due to fatigue.” When fully developed in the longer term, the tool could also be shared with other developers and agencies to improve construction worksite safety in Singapore on a larger scale, it added.
The process removes the need for moulds or formworks, allowing objects with “intricate detail or geometric forms that would be near impossible to create with traditional methods”, said HDB.This will give construction architects and designers “greater flexibility and free play in their designs”, said deputy director of building design & precast system Heru Santoso Soedarsono.
There are plans use 3D printing for smaller components used in precinct designs, such as landscape furniture or architectural designs in common areas for some projects in Tengah and Bidadari.It is also looking at the feasibility of using drones to inspect the facades of HDB blocks for cracks, spalling concrete and even corrosion, said HDB.
