We live in the digital age, where data is often considered king. How can the Construction and Infrastructure industry effectively create and manage data across the whole lifecycle of a built asset?

The Construction sector in the UK is very diverse, ranging from building construction to mining. Construction output in the UK is more than £110 billion per year and contributes 7% of GDP – 60% of construction is new build, whilst 40% is refurbishment and maintenance [1].

Create a consistent method and digital platform for the capture and management of asset data information. The discovery process is a systematic approach to defining and un-packing areas where technology can support ‘problem statements’ within the construction industry. It will identify follow-on research and development of projects as appropriate.

Develop smarter construction techniques which reduce and in turn transforms a construction site into a people free environment and consistently delivery high quality products and infrastructure which have full traceability.

An industry which uses standardised components and ‘kit of parts’, modular design approaches. The discovery process is a systematic approach to defining and un-packing areas where technology can support ‘problem statements’ within the construction industry.

The wearables discovery projects problem statement was: Health and wellbeing of staff on construction sites is of great importance to i3P members. Many members of i3P have been approached by technology providers offering a range of devices that make various claims to monitor the health and wellbeing of operatives.
