More details | ‘Automated Materials Testing – How We Can Improve Safety, Productivity, Quality and Asset Management in Infrastructure Construction’ According to McKinsey, construction is one of the least digitised industries in the world and the World Economic Forum rates the UK and Ireland’s roads a poor 27th and 41st for quality respectively*. Lack of technological investment is hampering productivity in infrastructure construction, where we have only improved by 1% over the past two decades*. Materials testing has been typical of this trend where practices haven’t changed much for 40 years and where some on-site proceedures can often put technicians in particular danger. Highway Data Systems plan to change these facts through automating on-site construction testing, a process we call Automated Quality Assurance (AQA). |
