The global construction industry is expected to reach an estimated $10.5 trillion by 2023, with a forecasted CAGR of 4.2% from 2018 to 2023 (Source: Global Construction Industry Report). APAC is expected to remain the largest market during the forecasted period, predominately due to the increasing levels of urbanisation, higher expenditure on infrastructure development, along with affordable housing projects. With 2020 being a difficult year for the global engineering and construction industry, things are looking more positive with digital transformation taking place rapidly. Technology will continue to see greater adoption as construction leaders deal with improving productivity, eliminating inefficiencies, and adapting to a younger workforce of digital natives that expect to work with technology.
                
Here are the 5 construction technology trends to look out for in 2021:

With over 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created each day, data has become the oil of the digital era. The pace at which the construction industry is progressing, this number is bound to increase. Data can be highly beneficial for analysing patterns and probabilities of construction risks and avoiding them. Collection of data via sensor inputs from machines can help determine how to use fuel more efficiently in order to lower costs and ecological impact. Data can also be put back into BIM systems to schedule various activities as and when required.

Maxwell GeoSystems’ MissionOS innovative software platform is already helping transform infrastructure throughout planning, design, construction and asset management phases. It’s totally configurable data structure, IO and processing framework easily handles the large data sets generated.

1. Big Data:

Forrester Research indicates the global public cloud infrastructure market to grow by 35% to USD120 billion in 2021, with the cloud taking centre stage in the recovery from the pandemic. For the construction industry, this technology has the potential to access, use, modify, exchange and manage data stored in remote servers. Sharing data in real-time in construction sites is highly beneficial, as it avoids delays and ensures project completion in time, all whilst saving costs.

The MissionOS is fully cloud based and accessible through a variety of devices and browsers. Optimised for virtual elastic servers we can provide solutions from a handful of data sources to tens of thousands either in single portals or as part of an enterprise platform.

2. Cloud Technologies:

The overall enterprise IoT spending grew 12.1% in 2020 to USD128.9 billion, with APAC seeing the fastest growth (17%) followed by North America (14.9%). IoT spending for enterprises is expected to grow by 24% in 2021, despite the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. There are various applications of IoT in the construction industry such as the use of smart machines, which can perform repetitive tasks and maintain itself. This boosts efficiency and productivity whilst reducing carbon footprint. It further helps increase safety with geo-location technology able to identify hazards, and reduce ecological damage.

The MissionOS system provides a collaborative platform for display and interpretation of construction data, easing collaboration among all key project stakeholders. It has been supporting business continuity for many global projects during the Covid-19 pandemic.

3. Internet of Things:

The Global Building Information Modelling (BIM) market is estimated to reach USD14 billion by 2023, registering a CAGR of 17.5% over the forecast period of 2018-2023. North America is expected to be the market leader over this time period, capturing over 30% of the market. Although the adoption rate of BIM has been relatively slow over the last 35 years, a report by McKinsey found that this technology has now achieved an adoption rate of 60%-70%. Using BIM technology, companies are able to maintain budgets and keep tight construction schedules.

Maxwell GeoSystems’ MissionOS system allows projects with BIM at their core to handle automated processes for the generation of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) classified files, for the automatic updating of BIM environments hosted by clients, their contractors and consultants alike.

4. BIM (Building Information Modelling):

The global augmented reality market was valued at USD 17.67 billion in 2020 with a CAGR of 43.8% from 2021 to 2028. The immersive visualisation made possible by virtual reality paired with BIM is improving design, collaboration, and communication, allowing for architects to better showcase their design to clients. Augmented reality applications in construction are using vision-based augmented reality using markers, such as QR codes, architectural drawings and images, or GPS to overlay BIM models, installation instructions, safety checklists and more to aid workers on job-sites. AR and VR permit clients to make faster decisions because they can see and experience the layout, which leads to improved client satisfaction and increase in productivity levels.

MissionOS’ dynamic “on the fly” creation of N-dimensional interactive models based on GIS selection and using fast web rendering technologies has promoted wider collaboration within the BIM space and opened the door to real time live augmented reality where there was none before.

Large infrastructure projects have seen a rapid increase in the presence of ‘Big Data’, providing opportunities for using the data to improve engineering design and construction for current and future projects. However, we often face challenges with respect to data storage, access and interoperability of this data to gain meaningful insight without extensive investment in time and resources.

MissionOS can help you overcome these limitations providing cloud storage solutions, as a data warehouse, offering full web-access to the data and a bespoke software interface to explore and analyse your large datasets. Furthermore, Maxwell GeoSystems has a team of engineers and data scientists with expertise in civil engineering as well as big data analytics, data visualisation and cloud computing, ready to assist you with your big data projects from engineering optimisation to improved business efficiency.

 MissionOS in Trunk Road T2

Maxwell GeoSystems implemented its MissionOS Tunnel Data Management System (TDMS) for the Trunk Road T2 and Infrastructure Works for Developments at the Former South Apron (Trunk Road T2), a project of Bouygues Travaux in Hong Kong.

The Trunk Road T2, together with the proposed Central Kowloon Route (CKR) and Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel (TKO-LTT), will form the Route 6 alignment in the strategic road network. Route 6 will provide an east-west express link between West Kowloon and Tseung Kwan O and provide the necessary relief to the existing heavily utilised road network in the Central and Eastern Kowloon areas.
                
The scope of the project comprises : -
                
A dual two-lane trunk road of approximately 3.4 km long with about 3.1 km of the trunk road is in the form of tunnels.
Ventilation buildings, traffic control and surveillance systems; associated buildings, civil electrical & mechanical, and landscaping works.

One of the key challenges to be faced by the contractor will be the systematic use of the three main tunnelling formats: Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) excavation, Cut-and-Cover and Drill & Blast, all in the one project.
MissionOS easily handles the significant data collection demands throughout the various construction phases in conditions which would otherwise prove difficult to manage by traditional methods.
                
With part of the tunnel construction phase being underwater, it will require installation of additional automatic monitoring instruments, all of which can be readily incorporated through the MissionOS system and its greatly enhanced data-loading capability. MissionOS TDMS also provides direct connection to the TBM, allowing remote access to real-time data in the office, with minimal latency.

 MissionOS TBM World Record

MissionOS tunnelling machine data management continues to break new records. As of now the MissionOS based STEMS system on the DTSS-2 tunnel project in Singapore has 18 TBMs and 4 Pipe Jacks excavating simultaneously with MissionOS processing the real-time data from the machines every second with data latency to user below 5 seconds.

This is a world record for the industry and is the first time so much data has been aggregated in real-time on a single platform. For security reasons the machines are not directly connected to the internet so this represents a considerable technical achievement by our engineers. This is a big leap from our last record of 7 TBMs in KVMRT2-Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in February of 2019.

We'd like to congratulate all of the team in Maxwell GeoSystems Singapore, India and our client PUB, also the lead engineer BVAecom, TBM machine supplier Herrenknecht and all the contractors in helping to make this possible.

MissionOS is leading the way in tunnelling data management, for more information Be sure to check out this posting and Follow Us on our LinkedIn company profile for the very latest news and developments.

As we usher in the Year of the Metal Ox, we here at Maxwell GeoSystems, would like to take the opportunity to wish you Health, Good Luck and Much Happiness in the year to come.

In this day and age of a ‘new normal’, there is no denying that the COVID pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation of the 4th Industrial Revolution. For any business to make significant progress, it is imperative to embrace digitisation in their operations in order to keep up with the changes in industry and market trends as well as to maintain their competitive edge. To not do so would only mean to get left behind as other businesses become more developed and efficient.

For the new year, we would advocate embracing such changes sooner, rather than later, and try a digital transformation (DX) of your project operations by adopting Maxwell GeoSystems’ cloud-based MissionOS construction data management system.

InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) is established in a wide range of applications across many industries and is rapidly becoming a key requirement for large infrastructure projects. However, extracting this data to compare with physical instrumentation and construction activities is frequently a challenge.

At Maxwell GeoSystems, we recognise the need for engineers to be able to make informed decisions readily without the need for compiling data from multiple sources together. That’s why our MissionOS construction data management system is fully equipped with tools to host your project’s InSAR data and make insightful on-the-fly comparisons with physical instrumentation data and construction activities.

The data is displayed directly in the MissionOS system in both 2D and 3D and end-users can extract data from the hundreds of thousands of InSAR points for particular time series analysis. Hosted entirely on the web, all of your project data is readily accessible from anywhere.
