The construction equipment are deployed on site for various reason such as:
- For larger output
- For cost effective implementation
- For execution of work that is not feasible by manual efforts
- For maintaining large output, even if there is a shortage of skilled and semi - skilled manpower
- For precise implementation by using modern construction equipment equipped with software controls
