Many, if not most clients, need designs that can respond to unique sites and needs e.g.
For example, we should be tracking how much movement there was in a column as it was being pulled in, and the bending.We need to be asking questions about how the concrete cured.
This type of work has an important impact in terms of predictive maintenance.If we understand exactly how the concrete cured and what went on in that process, we’ll know what stresses might be left in the building, thereby creating a long-term, high-value impact of that data.In fact, some of the sensors needed to undertake this type of work are incredibly inexpensive.
They could easily be placed inside a concrete mix, and would simply broadcast for the next five years uninterrupted.. At Bryden Wood, we anticipate that this type of construction technology work could also fuel the next generation of concrete mixes, as well as influencing the type of AI technology that’s starting to plan schedules and program onsite.Logistics could also be affected.
Essentially, there is a massive, potential long-term benefit to gathering this type of data.
Unfortunately, while we already have the ability to use IoT successfully to gather substantial amounts of this type of useful information, investment for this type of work isn’t necessarily present at the moment.These days they’re coming to her for help and she’s passionately excited about the change happening right before her eyes.. “What we have to recognise,” she says, “is we're counting on each other, and we have to make sure that we're all doing the right things because it’s so connected.”.
She reminds us that.facilitating a. successful.
shift to industrialised construction.isn't just about the technology and the software tools, but about creating the right processes, having the support system from government and building departments, and authorities having jurisdiction.. “By the way,” she says.
