Overview

The infrastructure construction industry is responsible for the planning, design, and construction of the physical structures and systems that support a country or region’s economy and daily life. This includes roads, bridges, airports, water systems, energy grids, and telecommunications networks. It is also a major source of government revenue, as governments often fund infrastructure projects through taxes and bonds. The infrastructure construction industry is facing several challenges, including rising costs, labour shortages, and environmental regulations. However, the industry is also seeing several trends that are driving growth, such as the need for new infrastructure in developing countries and the increasing demand for sustainable infrastructure.

GAO’s RFID, BLE, IoT, and drone technologies have helped its customers in the infrastructure construction industry to improve their work processes, their operations and productivity by better management of their staff, materials and operational equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, graders loaders, tower cranes pile drivers, dump trucks, concrete mixers, asphalt pavers, compactors.
