Top 6 Tips for Faster Smarter Civil Engineering Calculation Sheets
Engineering calculations are at the heart of civil engineering design. The calculation sheets that accompany a project can provide evidence of the design competency and that the specifications are met. Common building calculations are formalized in design guides, such as Eurocodes, AASHTO, IBC etc. The equations tend to be mathematically simple – only needing basic arithmetic operations on the design parameters – but they still require engineering experience to determine the which, why, and when.

Applying Computer Vision for Storytelling in the Construction Industry

whitePaper | September 27, 2022

A picture is worth a thousand words and is often able to answer the questions of who, what, where and why. Construction sites are often bustling with workers and have lots of activities happening at the same time. A picture of a construction site tells a thousand tales. Analyzing such pictures using computer vision techniques can help tell a story of what’s happening at site, which can help improve efficiency and safety, minimize risk, and monitor project-related progress. Construction companies are always looking for better project monitoring options and computer vision techniques provide more efficient, automated, round-the-clock monitoring.

An Update on Insolvency in the Australian Construction Industry

whitePaper | August 19, 2022

The construction sector in Australia has long been affected by insolvency and broader liquidity issues. In the last year, construction companies accounted for 26% of businesses that entered into insolvency, and insolvencies in the construction sector more than doubled. This year, contractors have been further squeezed by inflation, supply chain issues and labour market shortages. As the federal government has wound back its COVID-19 economic stimulus packages, further collapses seem inevitable.

Rules for successful Integrated Planning as part of BIM

whitePaper | May 31, 2021

he digital planning, which can now be found in architecture and design offices, at general contractors or via prefabrication, bricklaying robots and GPS-based excavators already on the building site, is characterized by Building Information Modeling (BIM). Yet, BIM is only really an efficient and commercial option if it is paired with the integrated working method.
