    TRENDS IN CONSTRUCTION

    SMART STRUCTURES:
    MEETING DEMAND FOR SMARTER CONSTRUCTION  

    As global investments in smart cities and infrastructure grow, the demand for intelligent buildings continues to rise. This trend is driven by the need for advanced materials and technologies that optimize environments and manage resources, such as power, cooling, and security. Gates supports these projects with a range of high-efficiency hydraulic hoses, fluid power solutions, and advanced belt drive systems that deliver reliable performance in HVAC, power transmission, and fluid management applications — ensuring smart buildings operate seamlessly and sustainably. 

     

    TECHNOLOGY:
    ADDRESSING LABOR SHORTAGES 

    Labor shortages have been a persistent challenge for the construction industry worldwide. While efforts to improve training and recruitment continue, many companies are turning to autonomous technologies and digital means to create efficiencies. Advanced Gates hydraulic and belt drive systems maximize uptime and reduce manual intervention, making them essential for automated equipment like cranes, loaders, and excavators. Our solutions help enhance equipment efficiency while reducing maintenance demands, addressing labor shortages in a practical and effective way. 

     

    MATERIALS:
    EASING SHORTAGES AND RISING COSTS
