The role of DfMA and MMC in Australia.

Without their involvement, we aren’t gathering valuable site data, which simply evaporates.Therefore, the logical question becomes, how do we engage those people?.

asBuilt believes we need to find a way for those workers to use construction technology onsite without even realising they’re doing it.In this way, we’ll unlock more technology, more often.Lamont believes that what we really need is something to change the entire world at once, and suggests the use of mobile phones and QR codes to achieve this.

He doesn’t believe more BIM is the answer to the industry’s problems, explaining that a drawing numbering system isn’t going to help the worker installing rebar.Instead, he says, onsite construction technology solutions should revolve around getting workers who are already using technology like mobile phones, to use that same tech in different ways, aiding and improving onsite construction processes via photographing, scanning, etc.

Moreover, he also advocates incentivising the use of technology in order to boost worker engagement.

Having everything pre-logged back at the site-shed could mean that workers no longer need to fill out end-of-day paperwork, enabling them to go home earlier instead.. asBuilt believe it’s these types of changes which will ultimately create the necessary unlock with platforms and technology in construction.governmental support and policy inclusion, and for uptake in relevant sectors and industries, such as industrial plastic production.

C. ontinued research into these technologies, alongside more evidence of cost benefits, may help in incentivising industries to adopt these technologies.. Energy Efficient Plastic Production: It’s a Team Effort.It is not only the reduction in GHG emissions that we need to focus on for CCU to impact the production process most efficiently.

The improvement in producing ‘green hydrogen’ through the electrolysis of water is helping increase the benefits of CCU by reducing the industry’s demand for electricity in producing some chemicals.Hydrogen is required to produce ammonia, for example, an important material in many plastic production processes.
