Onsite construction technology: IoT and spatial mapping

Being in the construction industry we can see how we can make playing the fiddle on the roof safe.. Maybe what we need to do is ask the fiddle player why they are there, what is their purpose and what do they need.

For example, the size and quantity of raw materials needed to produce the required volume of product will determine the size of the warehouse.The maximum throughput of the equipment that is used will determine how many pieces of equipment are needed to process the volume.

The degree of process automation will determine how many human operatives will be needed along with the associated offices, meeting rooms, tea points and toilets.Every aspect of the process can be used to inform facility design.. Clients will often approach us with a pre-determined idea of what their project should look like.There is a lot of value in this because the client holds all the technical expertise about their process- more than we ever will.

A client’s proposed solution will probably already be well aligned with their engineering requirements but it will also be just one of many possible solutions and our job is not to settle for the adequate outcome but to find the best.. DIGITAL SIMULATION DELIVERS THE BEST PERFORMING DESIGN SOLUTION.This is another area where data analytics can help the construction industry.

Many aspects of a process can be considered a variable.

For example, a warehouse can be made smaller by changing the delivery frequency or providing more in-process staging.This was used in the design of the two prisons being delivered under PETP (HMP Five Wells at Wellingborough and at Glen Parva) and formed the basis for the current capacity programme.

It would do this by:.Putting safety, security and rehabilitation at the heart of prisons.

Creating more flexible space for educational, training and rehabilitation outcomes.The Programme was also a way to build on the Ministry of Justice’s (MoJ) recognised role as innovative leaders in public sector design and construction.
