Structural engineer Robert Bird has launched a new virtual platform that will provide a “major step change” in the delivery of construction and property projects.
RBG Reveal is an interactive and intuitive 4D virtual platform that allows design and construction solutions to be viewed, developed and coordinated in real time. The…
Robotics and automation are key to improving safety and productivity in construction, as well as addressing the growing skills gap, according to drilling specialist Hilti.
Hilti senior vice president for marketing Rafael Garcia made the comments earlier this week as the firm launched the Jaibot, its first robotic drilling machine, and…
Changing demographics and lifestyles have increased the need to make our built and natural environments smarter, sustainable and connected. Recent events have only served to accelerate this – from the rise in international climate movements, to a greater appreciation of remote working practices.
These changes impact our view of how building…
Advances in civil engineering design made through intelligent modelling and data sharing capabilities could be pushed further through wider use of parametric design.
However, Timble business development manager for engineering Stuart Campbell believes that the industry is missing out on the benefits as few people know the full value of taking…
Invennt offers a sneak peek of forthcoming research into the adoption of Industry 4.0 in civil engineering.
Director and co-founder of specialist management consulting firm Invennt Tim Fitch announced the key findings of pioneering new research carried out by Invennt in conjunction with the ICE at New Civil Engineer’s Innovations…
Small multi-disciplinary consultancy, Plandescil has to maintain a friendly, approachable ethos for its local clients, while punching above its weight against bigger competitors.
In the cutting-edge world of engineering technology, clients are demanding digital solutions that provide reams of data to help them make better decisions. In the real world of…
Projects using 4D digital twins are now yielding results from their technological leap forward.
Even projects using world-class engineering talent can struggle to stay on time and on budget, as the recent history of Crossrail and Hinkley Point C shows. While the reasons for delays and cost hikes are complex and…
New Civil Engineer is hosting a webinar to help engineers overcome obstacles to full adoption of building information modelling (BIM).
According to a survey by Allplan and the ICE, nine out of 10 engineers now consider BIM relevant to their work. But less than 50% claim to have an adequate grasp…
Autodesk has added a cost management tool to its BIM 360 software to avoid last minute cost overruns.
Using artificial intelligence to protect potential cost overruns, the tool responds to data collected from site before and during construction. It allows for project cost projections to be updated on a live basis, removing…
Bentley Systems has taken over specialist modelling company Agency9 increasing its capability to build city wide digital twin models around the world.
Agency9 has already created detailed models to 20mm accuracy for half of the major cities in Sweden, but Bentley said its takeover would now allow it to expand, and…
