New technologies are a double-edged sword. Innovations like generative design, digital twins, OpenUSD (Universal Screen Description) and augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) tools offer organisations a fresh competitive edge, but also bring rising demands on IT systems and management. Increasing file sizes, growth of unstructured data, and IT…

In today’s increasingly competitive business landscape, organisations across various different industries are continuing to turn to data analytics to enhance their decision-making processes and by extension, their bottom line. Naturally, there are some organisations whose use of data insights far exceeds their competitors, and what really sets them apart is…

Coastal flood defence design requires engineers to analyse multiple layers of data, including global climate data and local geographic information, from various sources.

Safeguarding resilience across the UK’s critical infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex. Asset owners and operators must maintain uninterrupted operations while adapting to unpredictable markets, cybersecurity threats and interoperability challenges. Key to navigating these complexities is establishing a reliable digital backbone, where data emerges as a critical yet often overlooked protagonist…

Decisions are at the heart of engineering and those decisions need the best possible information. More data about the condition of structures can be helpful, but identifying the right data matters.

Work by Autodesk and Deloitte Access Economics has found the UK leads other European countries on construction data but that progress is being hampered by lack of integration and challenges in training those who will increasingly need to use it.

An outcome-led approach to data capture could revolutionise the way infrastructure assets are constructed and managed over their lifecycles, but barriers persist.

 This video was recorded at NCE’s Rail and Transit conference. Network Rail chief intelligent infrastructure engineer Karl Butler-Garnham provides insights from Network Rail’s award winning Intelligent Infrastructure programme. The programme is transforming asset management across the network through utilising technology to deliver data and intelligent information to improve the…

Just half as much civil engineering work got underway this spring as in the same period last year, dismal data this morning revealed.

Better use of data is critical to improved decision making and driving efficiencies in design, construction and operation of infrastructure, according to Bentley Systems chief operating officer Nicholas Cumins.
