We firstly looked to use a critical chain approach to planning, which naturally allows for flexibility in the schedule.
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.
Currently, fund managers are focusing more on internal building technology.And I think you've probably felt the same way.
Sometimes it felt pretty lonely out there.But you know, it's not lonely anymore.
That's so good.”.To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.
