Abstract

Construction 4.0 has been enabled through the introduction of Industry 4.0and its tools. The rate of adoption of the Construction 4.0, however, to create a good ecological landscape has been rapid which needs enhancement for achieving sustainable infrastructure. This study therefore aims at presenting an integral approach to creating a pathway-model for technological innovation, industrial and sustainable infrastructural development using Lean thinking, Industry 4.0 technologies and sustainability concepts. The main objective of the study is to study the issues around the adoption of industry 4.0 to achieve Construction 4.0 for achieving sustainable infrastructure. The study articulated the following objective parameters to carry out the survey, such as (i) Industry 4.0 application drivers in the construction industry in achieving sustainable infrastructural development, (ii) prospect of Construction 4.0 in achieving industrial development of Industry 4.0,(iii) factors influencing the adoption of Industry 4.0 for technological development, (iv) future of Construction 4.0 in construction industry in infrastructural development and (v) socioeconomic implications of Industry 4.0 tools adoption.A total of 150 samples was used for the study from a population frame of 250 construction. The sample frame of 250 construction companies that are medium and large scale in the category we used as the sample frame for the study. The following statistical tools of SPSS 25 were used to process the data: Mean index, Kruska-wallis,ANOVA, Pearson ranking, Cronbach Alpha and Chi square. The study recommends the following:However, adoption of the Construction 4.0, there are numerous parameters that influence the adoption of industry 4.0 for technological development,which need to be considered to achieve sustainable infrastructural development. For instance, there is a need for attitudinal change, cultural orientation,economic development, and technological innovation. There is a future for success in the application of Construction 4.0 in creating a robust infrastructural economy which is sustainable.
