Wave of digital technology impacting the engineering industry

 The second wave of digital technology impacting the engineering industry, we predict, will see an integrated, information-driven approach to design, whereby all stakeholder needs and requirements are well understood and serviced within a common data environment. Data will be produced once, collected, analysed and managed by competent digital staff.

Site construction, health and safety, management, construction machinery and material-quality systems will be integrated into the common data environment, ensuring data is centrally managed, coordinated and providing value to the right people, at the right time. This integrated approach will ensure that asset management and facilities management teams receive up-to-date, as-built information as inputs into their computer engineering definition.

Make no mistake. The base core skills for certain professions will change for the better to suit the new data-oriented environment, and the value to clients will immediately be evident in reduced cost, improved quality and on-time project delivery.
