There’s a balancing act required.
In fact, much of the information we’re able to take from the process, and many of the details about how things are being put together, has already disappeared by the time the concrete has set and we’ve got the finishes on the walls.By that point, we’ve often begun discussing other, internal elements, such as technology related to the temperature of the building..
Ultimately, this means that many important uses for construction technology are being missed.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.In the United Kingdom, there’s great craftsmanship, as well as in Ireland, where they’ve adopted manufacturing techniques.
In America, there’s volume because of geography.In Australia, they’re getting pressure from Asia.
They’ve lost the car industry.They want to create an industry.
