Abstract: Infrastructure project requires more number of skilled labour, good quality of work, increases productivity etc. for this purpose we use automation technologies. The construction industry is labour intensive and construction work is conducted in dangerous and risky situation. So, we have to use different automation technology. There are so many obstacles while implementing automation technologies. Some of them are high cost of automation technologies, maintenance and operating cost, skilled worker, knowledge about automation to worker, availability of technologies etc. The automation technologies are so expensive and has greater obstacles to implement cost of automation is the major factor whether to consider or not, technology for the construction work. These technologies are not easily accepted by worker because of less knowledge about automation. This paper describes the remedies over the obstacles in implementing automation technologies.
