The Development of Simulation Model for Calculating Hoisting Time of Double-Cage Construction Lift in Supertall Building Construction

Double-Cage 건설용 리프트의 양중시간 산정을 위한 시뮬레이션 모델 개발

According to the recent increase in the height of supertall buildings, construction lift became one of most important equipment for vertical transportation of resources. However, increase in lifting load during peak time in which the resources are concentrated often causes a risk of construction delay. This study suggests a concept of Double-Cage construction lift, which is a lift with two cages attached together allowing transportation of resources on two consecutive work floors simultaneously. The aim of this study is to present a simulation model suitable for calculating hoisting time of Double-Cage construction lift. The proposed model is expected to be utilized when applying Double-cage construction lift for its efficient operation and management.
