În lupta împotriva schimbărilor climatice, din ce în ce mai multe orașe se concentrează pe durabilitate – în special cele care realizează amenințarea răspândirii urbane rapide, emisiile cu efect de seră și problemele socio-economice cu care se confruntă locuitorii lor ca urmare a acestora.
Neil Thompson and Henry Fenby-Taylor talk to Simon Hart, Head of Digital Twins and Cyber Physical Infrastructure at Innovate UK about BIM, what's worked before, what could work again. How government helps innovation and what could come next for innovation, digital twins and data.
As extreme weather events become more frequent, technology can play a key role in protecting the UK’s vital infrastructure, says Marko Ravnjak, applications engineer, monitoring, track survey and scanning at Trimble
This year the UK experienced its hottest summer on record. Unfortunately, it will probably not be the hottest summer of this century. Since climate change is increasing the frequency of extreme weather events, policymakers and climate scientists expect more frequent and intense heatwaves in the years ahead.
As the year kicks off, many might be thinking of the projects you want to see accomplished. One to consider Is learning the basics and beyond behind the transition of our economy towards net zero.
Some major trends we may anticipate for the year.
By 2050, most of humanity will live downstream of large dams built in the 20th century. Increasingly expensive to maintain, experts foresee a trend to decommissioning dams.
By 2050, most people on Earth will live downstream of tens of thousands of large dams built in the 20th century, many of them already operating at or beyond their design life, according to a UN University analysis.

Being able to monitoring the integrity of tunnel segments through IoT technology promises major safety and efficiency gains in civil engineering. The idea is simple: instead of installing monitoring equipment once a tunnel has been dug, why not pre-install the sensors and data loggers in the tunnel lining itself from as early as the lining production phase? Given the importance of this innovation, it is unsurprising that a webinar on the smart tunnel concept, hosted by Worldsensing in November, was lively and well attended. Worldsensing experts Sam Buckley, Bastien Hardouin and Juan Pérez Arcas were on hand to answer questions.
7 dintre cele mai importante resurse pe care SIXENSE ROMÂNIA, membru APMGS, le creat în acest an în domeniul monitorizării structurale și geotehnice:
Purtătorul de cuvânt al CNAIR, Alin Șerbănescu, spune că firma italiană Pizzarotti trebuie „să se miște foarte rapid” pentru a rezolva problemele apărute pe tronsonul de autostradă A10 Sebeș-Turda, fără însă a opri circulația. El a adăugat, la Digi24, că acesta este motivul pentru care unele proiecte de infrastructură durează mai mult, pentru că uneori constructorii sunt puși să refacă lucrările.
Worldsensing is a leader in IoT remote monitoring. It has over 3,000 network deployments around the world, in sectors including rail, mining and construction, primarily used to monitor how geotechnical, geospatial and structural conditions impact civil infrastructure to help prevent life-threatening incidents.
For three days in July 2021, a weather system stalled over the Eifel mountains in Germany and Belgium dropping up to 250 mm of rain. The influx of water quickly morphed into a flash flooding event, inundating mountain valleys.
În interviul din Bursa.ro, MARIANA GARŞTEA, CEO Sixense România și președinte APMGS, trage concluziile unui an plin pentru industria construcțiilor, cu multe provocări, dar și multe oportunități.
Este timpul pentru recapitulări şi lecţii din încă un an care a venit cu noi provocări pentru industria construcţiilor - iar acestea nu au fost deloc puţine, conform unui comunicat remis redacţiei. Presiunea pe costuri, blocarea anumitor autorizaţii de construire în Bucureşti, discuţiile acerbe în jurul stării infrastructurii locale - toate au marcat anul 2022.
