| Abstract: |
Current construction industries have developed toward sustainable development as which the technologies are intended to optimum use of natural resources, minimize energy consumption, reduce waste and enchorage possible recycle. Precast construction would be an alternative for civil infrastructure projects this paper will introduce the building process for project execution in planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance. Some examples of precast construction of elevated highways and highrise buildings in Thailand will be presented. Some aspects toward green technologies to demonstrate improvement in quality control to accelerate speed of construction, to reduce energy consumption and to minimize environment impact assessment. The life cycle management will also be synthesized for green rating as far as the low carbon strategy can be implemented toward sustainable engineering. |
