The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) presents a significant opportunity for digital transformation in the infrastructure (architecture, engineering, and construction) industry. This sector, traditionally reliant on manual labor, mechanical technology, and traditional business models, has seen limited innovations in productivity compared to many other global industries. However, new digital technologies, particularly InfraTech solutions like drone technology, offer a promising pathway to revolutionize this industry.
The GI Hub's Director of Knowledge Mobilisation, Sam Barr, has been featured on the Competitive Contractor podcast with host Shivendra Kumar.
EyeRADAR provides a game-changing solution for managing slop stability, enhancing safety, and reducing the risks associated with linear infrastructure projects.
Durophalt and Durophalt-E are sustainable, durable, and cost-effective road maintenance solutions that replace traditional asphalt repair processes, reducing emissions and prolonging road lifespans.
TRL is using satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to assess the condition of rural, unpaved roads more efficiently.
irisGO™ is an AI-enabled camera that facilitates smarter condition monitoring by automating data gathering and analysis of road assets and defects in real time, enabling faster and more secure maintenance for safer roads.
COLPISTE is a combination of a soil stabilisation solution and a cold layer that makes it faster, more affordable, and more sustainable to construct reliable, all-weather roads in rural environments in developing countries
The Global BIM Network collaborates to co-develop and host an online, open-access knowledge base of resources from governments and organisations championing BIM in public sector construction and infrastructure projects.
Mastercard worked with Transport for London to complement TfL’s closed-loop Oyster system with open-loop EMV payment acceptance, which enables riders to use their own payment card or an enabled device that they already carry with them to pay for public transit. TfL was the first transport system to implement an open-loop EMV payment system.
Future Grid is adapting electricity distribution networks for cleaner, greener energy by cleansing network data to improve GIS topology, reacting to network capacity constraints in real time, managing voltage and power quality issues, and detecting and managing the impacts of EVs and Solar PV
The Colouring Cities Research Programme (CCRP) is developing a model for open data platforms that uses an open-source code for easy-to-set-up-and-run platforms (managed by academia) that enable access to the highest quality, comprehensive national building footprint data available
The Trial Reservoir approach to technology trials has universal potential globally to increase and accelerate uptake of clean technologies. While this approach to trial funding has not yet been replicated, Isle Utilities are in advanced talks with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) regarding a Latin American-specific project, funded by the IDB.
The cool pavement technology project supports the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MOEI), United Arab Emirates Sustainability Strategy : Organising, planning, and guaranteeing the sustainability of the infrastructure, and the transport sector
Pavimenta2 automates the processes of documenting, measuring, and recording failures, speeding up data collection and delivering cost savings over traditional approaches – thereby alleviating qualified professionals, who are often in high demand, to focus on strategy and planning
By using technology originally developed for highway bridge inspection to carry out inspections of infrastructure such as railway tunnels and building façades, NEXCO is delivering objectivity and accuracy of records to better support the infrastructure owner’s data-driven decisio-making as well as address traffic restrictions, enhance safety, and significantly reduce the time required to collect data on-site
Zhengzhou Unicom, together with China Unicom digital technology and ZTE, deployed a 5G + MEC private network to improve the reliability of end-to-end data transmission to ensure that the data does not leave the industrial park laying a solid foundation for 5G application security in industrial parks
Infraclear has gathered one of the world’s biggest databases of infrastructure project agreements and developed machine learning and natural language processing algorithms to extract granular data on terms.
