The hume concrete pipe laying works are conducted in most of the construction sites. In case of the advanced countries, several systems for automating the hume pipe laying works have been developed to improve productivity, safety, and quality, and gain potential savings in costs. But there have been little efforts to accumulate technical know-how and develop a new method or equipment related to the hume pipe laying works in domestic construction industry. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing home pipe laying work processes in detail and identify the main tasks to be considered for automation of the hume pipe laying works.
