Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a construction method, in which an excavation pit is produced in the ground and in the excavation pit foundation elements are produced at predetermined working points with at least one working apparatus. According to the invention provision is made in that in a computer unit the dimensions of the excavation pit, the working points and the dimensions of the at least one working apparatus are entered and in that in the computer unit a required workspace for the at least one working apparatus and an open space in the excavation pit are determined automatically.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A construction method, in which an excavation pit is produced in the ground, in the excavation pit, foundation elements are produced at predetermined working points with at least one working apparatus, and an optical marking is displayed, with a display means, on a surface of the excavation pit, wherein in a computer unit, the dimensions of the excavation pit, the working points, and the dimensions of the at least one working apparatus are entered, in the computer unit, a required workspace for the at least one working apparatus and an open space in the excavation pit are determined automatically based on the dimensions of the excavation pit and the dimensions of the at least one working apparatus, in the computer unit, a working sequence for performing work over time is determined automatically based on the required workspace for the at least one working apparatus and the open space in the excavation pit, and the optical marking indicates a portion of the open space or the at least one working apparatus. 2. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein as a working apparatus, a pile drilling apparatus, an anchor drilling apparatus, and/or a diaphragm wall apparatus is used. 3. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein as a foundation element, a foundation pile, a tension anchor, an injection anchor, and/or a diaphragm wall is produced. 4. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein for the determined spaces, it is specified which part is provided as driveway or storage space. 5. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein the display means comprises an optical projection element, in particular a laser. 6. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein by the computer unit, a change of the work- and open spaces is determined over time. 7. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein by the computer unit, an occupancy of the open spaces is determined. 8. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one working apparatus is provided with a data transmission means, via which the working apparatus transmits current data regarding the working apparatus, the location, and/or the processing operation to the computer unit. 9. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein by means of a detection means, an actual state of the excavation pit is detected and, by the computer unit, a verification of actual and target state is carried out. 10. The construction method according to claim 9 , wherein as detection means, at least one camera is provided. 11. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein by the computer unit, transport means for the supply and discharge of material to the work- or storage spaces are controlled. 12. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein by the computer unit, at least portion of the required workspace is reclassified to be a part of the open space during execution of the working sequence. 13. The construction method according to claim 1 , wherein by the computer unit, at least portion of the open space is reclassified to be a part of the required workspace during execution of the working sequence.
