High-tech, energy-efficient and adaptive (robotic) systems for construction under difficult climatic conditions

The harsher the conditions, the more efficient are the innovative building systems. Innovative technical and organizational-technological solutions of high-tech high-speed construction using transformable elements under the harsh conditions of the Arctic Circle and the Arctic are considered. The innovative approach consists in improvement of existing and creation of principally new technical and technological solutions when constructing under the difficult and extreme conditions of the Arctic Circle and the Arctic. Modernization (improvement, updating, addition) should be developed in promising areas of the technological conveyor: from the manufacturing factory to the final object. The article reveals the potential of HBF (house-building factory) to develop a fundamentally new high-tech and energy-efficient construction of buildings due to changing the structure of labor and energy balance of the construction process itself, due to using developed high-efficient production, structural, technological, and organizational solutions. Innovative building systems contain new principles of construction, the use of prefabricated steel-reinforced concrete elements, the use of permanent formwork under factory conditions and transformable matrix-floors (modules), minimum manned installation technologies, automated and remote quality control systems, as well as installation with the use of robotic telescopic mounting lifts, especially efficient in the harsh and hardly accessible areas of the Arctic Circle and Arctic.
