HS2 is the first major infrastructure programme to adopt digital engineering, with BIM at its core, at the very earliest stages of the project to allow future benchmarking to be delivered over the entire lifecycle – and in real time. Head of digital engineering Dr Sonia Zahiroddiny explains how it works. Digital engineering within HS2 is an umbrella term used to describe the application of Computer Aided Design (CAD), Geographic Information System (GIS) and wider information modelling and management processes to enable a collaborative and efficient collection, sharing, integration and visualisation of engineering and asset data. HS2 is too big and too complex to be managed using traditional static and document-based ways of working because we will be creating and need to manage large amounts of data. It is vital that the project’s data is of a high quality, plus it needs to be accessible and can be visualised in the wider context of the programme to support better decision making. From its very earliest days, HS2 has been committed to utilising digital engineering, with BIM at its core. This is not only to fulfil our obligations as a publicly procured project but also to go beyond the government’s mandate to transform the way the industry has traditionally designed and constructed infrastructure projects. By doing so, we are following the example of manufacturing, aerospace and other advanced sectors that have used the latest trends in technology to revolutionise their ways of working.

Portland Cement Association (PCA) Market Intelligence Group's Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Ed Sullivan as of late introduced their yearly Spring concrete utilization figure, foreseeing an increment in concrete utilization for 2021 and 2022.
"Remarkably, U.S. cement consumption recorded 2% growth during 2020. It is remarkable because COVID-19 exerted a terrible toll on the economy. Consumers bunkered down; states enacted rigid lockdowns. Real GDP declined to a rate not matched since 1946 as the economy transitioned from war time to peace time," said Sullivan. "Nearly 9.5 million fewer jobs now exist compared to pre-COVID-19 levels. Many businesses did not survive the threat. And yet through all of this, cement consumption grew."
Sullivan noted while significant tempests brought about a frail 2021 beginning, almost certainly, concrete utilization development will coordinate or surpass 2020's exhibition. Record low home loan rates have provoked solid additions in 2020 single family development. The low rates are required to stay set up through 2021, bringing about additional solid interest for concrete utilization. Nonresidential decays are required to proceed with this year and next, however the drag on by and large development is relied upon to reduce. Furthermore, as oil costs rise, oil well concrete will increment too.
