When the COVID-19 pandemic first spread across the U.S. earlier this year, construction sites saw a raft of new safety procedures to ensure essential work could continue without casually spreading the virus.
A team of New Zealand-based software designers that brought digital 3D modeling to engineering geotechnics less than two years ago recently launched an upgrade to their software. It is now being used on some major projects, including the U.K.’s multibillion-dollar London-Birmingham high speed railroad (HS2).
Hawaiian Dredging has used manual processes to track the productivity of the cranes on its jobsites in the past, but a deployment of Versatile's CraneView sensor package is automating some of that tedious and difficult work.
At its first all-virtual Autodesk University conference, software vendor Autodesk announced three new construction cloud products, a partnership for electrical design and a new digital twin offering for owners and operators.
In an effort to create a common environment for design visualizations across multiple platforms, Autodesk has partnered with Nvidia to bring its broad suite of design software to Nvidia Omniverse, a recently launched collaborative 3D environment that allows users of different software to see their 3D designs in one shared online space.
SoFi Stadium's digital twin from Willow consolidates 3.1 million sq ft of stadium and all its moving parts into a 16GB graphical and relational model that can be accessed from an iPad and analyzed by stadium management for optimizing building operations.
This webinar will provide an overview of how data organization can solve some of today’s biggest challenges in the construction industry. Data can boost productivity, collaboration and reduce rework. Companies who have successfully built a data-centric foundation will discuss how to improve data collection and analysis for the best outcomes.
Email is the default method of day-to-day communication, meaning the bulk of project information is buried in emails, 'locked' inside individual inboxes. This makes email critical in not only preventing disputes but reducing businesses’ overall risk exposure. We'll discuss the pitfalls construction companies in the US fall into when it comes to disputes, and how email management can help avoid these legal disputes.
Buildings account for nearly 40 percent of annual global CO2 emissions due in part to the use of Fossil fuels. Strategic Electrification is an alternate approach that uses electric-powered technologies to increase energy efficiency, leading to cost optimization, and reduced pollution. During this webinar, you'll hear from industry professionals whom have been successful in implementing energy-efficient systems.
We'll address how forecasters see construction markets developing in 2020. Top forecasters will share their views on the market prospects for the industry both nationally and regionally. We will also hear from a leading industry technology strategist about how they envision the year from a construction technology perspective.
