On December 25, at the construction site of the Zhuhai-Macao Translational Medicine Center project of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, as the command was issued, a green canopy covering nearly 7,800 square meters slowly unfolded above the foundation pit, enveloping the entire work area. This is the first introduction of an automated canopy system for foundation pits in Zhuhai, marking Zhuhai's accelerated progress toward green and intelligent building construction.

On the same day, the Zhuhai Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau hosted an on-site technical observation meeting at the project site for the automated canopy system during the foundation construction phase of the project. More than 100 representatives from the city's housing and urban-rural development system, construction enterprises, and industry associations observed the application of the new technology on site.

It is understood that green construction and smart building have become industry trends. In traditional foundation pit construction, dust control, safety protection, and weather impacts are three major challenges. The automated canopy system can not only be opened and closed with a single remote-control command, but can also be partially opened according to the needs of mechanical operations. Through modular design and intelligent control, it achieves "three major transformations": from passive dust removal to active dust suppression, keeping construction dust within the foundation pit area; from manual protection to technical protection, providing workers with an all-weather safe working environment; and from weather-dependent construction to all-weather construction, greatly improving operational efficiency.

A relevant person in charge of the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau introduced that the automated canopy system has been successfully applied in multiple cities across the country. Its first introduction and demonstration in Zhuhai is a concrete measure to promote the high-quality development of the construction industry and implement the concept of green building. This technology can not only effectively control construction dust, reduce noise and temperature, and improve safety levels, but its reusable and recyclable characteristics also offer good economic benefits.
