Randselva Bridge, located in Norway with its 634 metres, is the world’s longest bridge that has been designed and constructed using a drawing-free, model-based process. Sweco was in charge of the modelling and parametric design of the bridge. Innovation and collaboration with the contractor have been the cornerstones of success in this challenging bridge project

ZERO’s mission is to unite construction globally and tackle embodied Carbon, we now have 1000+ members from all over the world that have a built a Playbook. We will present ZERO’s roadmap for 2023 and beyond and introduce V1 of our community’s playbook. The Zero Playbook is the portal into the Zero community. The Zero

The Forge is the UK’s first net zero carbon commercial development and is a landmark moment for the platforms approach to design for manufacture and assembly (P-DfMA). It is also the UK’s first major building completed using the P-DfMA approach, from building design to delivery. In this talk, Bryden Wood will showcase the benefits that

In 2018 NATO moved into its New Headquarters, the political and administrative centre of the Alliance. With more than 250,000 m² of floor area, the building accommodates 5000 people and hosts the Delegations of 30 Allied Nations. At the start of the construction in 2010, the General Contractor opted for BIM to support the construction

Improvements in the way we capture and manage our data can open up new opportunities for energy use. Net zero targets for construction are growing closer and we need new ways to minimise carbon emissions and reduce energy waste. This talk will provide greater clarity to decision makers in government and industry on what digitalisation

Our current infrastructure networks were not designed with climate change in mind. CReDo, the Climate Resilience Demonstrator project, is a climate change adaptation digital twin bringing together data across energy, water and telecoms networks to create a picture of the whole infrastructure system. CReDo looks at the impact of future flooding scenarios caused by climate

As part of new and updated building regulations coming into force in the UK, such as the uplifted Regulation 40 Part L and Building Safety Act 2022, there has been a push by the Government towards data and information digitisation. During this session we will show how advances in tech means it is now easier

Platform design for manufacture and assembly (P-DfMA) is fast becoming the most talked about approach when it comes to modern methods of construction (MMC). However this Platform approach to construction requires a shift in thinking from a construction mindset to a manufacturing first mind-set. Which is easier said than done. But, once we change focus

In this talk we will explore the importance around the connection of the digital and physical worlds, with digital twins, as we look towards the future of the Metaverse. We will explore industry use cases that utilise real time rendering front ends to digital twins as a way to connect and collaborate with stakeholders and

If the built and natural environment is to deliver on the net zero and sustainability agenda, it must make use of the data and feedback loops offered by digital twins across the full asset lifecycle for both new and existing assets, reducing embodied and operational emissions, and supporting the concept of material banks. This session

This exciting panel topic Digital twins… fake news for net zero features DT Hub Strategic Board members Melissa Zanocco, Mark Enzer and Simon Evans in lively discussion with Henry Fenby-Taylor about the practicalities of turning design ideas into reality, and the future impact of digital twins in the race to net zero. The DT Hub

Our panel of digital construction specialists will discuss what taking a more data-centric approach to managing construction projects really involves by way of improved collaboration, interoperability and better information management. In a world where communication is driven by technology, where innovation is only limited to our imagination, applying this to building methods is still seen

“La Ville du quart d’Heure”, a phase formally associated with master planning in 2016 by French-Colombian scientist, and Sorbonne professor, Carlos Moreno to describe a walkable, mixed use urban design. Everything we need within an easy 15 minute reach. The 15 minute city is an ideal geography where most human needs and many desires are

Building safety should be a priority for any high-rise residential project, and often understanding the requirements of the new Building Safety Act and the expectations of the Building Safety Regulator can be challenging. Under the new legislation, any owner of a high-rise residential building in England must create, hold and maintain a building safety case,

A growing acknowledgement of sea level rise and an increased risk of urban flooding has contributed to a sharp increase in interest in building on water but current solutions, including polystyrene filled concrete foundations and plastic pontoons are inflexible, difficult to transport and highly unsustainable. Land on water promises an entirely new, sustainable and highly

Net zero goals and ESG commitments are now common targets for many organisations. Similarly, there are new opportunities to use an ever-increasing pool of data in our decision-making. Organisations who are facing up to the challenges of achieving net zero ambitions are seeking insights from the new technology which is now available. This conversation will

Smart data management unlocks growth. We all know that data plays a key role in asset lifecycle management – but we need to get smarter about it! Our panel of digital experts will look at how to introduce smart tech at every stage of the asset lifecycle from conception to handover. Learn how to strategically

Key thought leaders from across the construction industry discussing how best to deliver swiftly on climate commitments, determining the innovations, structures and investment needed to make change happen. And happen quickly. Chair: David Philp,  Chief Value Office, Cohesive Group Panel: May Winfield, Global Director of Commercial, Legal and Digital Risks, Solicitor, Buro Happold Helen Hough,

This session will focus on how technology can be harnessed in timber buildings to improve quality, reduce risk and reimagine supply chains. Panellists will discuss how moisture sensors and digital twins can be used to closely monitor completed mass timber buildings, as well as looking at how distributed manufacturing networks are being used to create

Most people have heard of digital transformation and also perhaps about BIM and/or information management, but what are the most beneficial first steps? What are the tried and tested methods? What’s the one thing with the best ROI? Our panellists will share their secrets, enabling you to make significant steps forward. Chair: Casey Rutland, Founding
