Overview

 

The government wants to deliver an infrastructure revolution. That means a radical improvement in the quality and delivery of the UK’s transport infrastructure to help level up the country and create the path to net zero emissions by 2050.

 

‘Enabling Adoption of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) through Development of an Intelligent Infrastructure Control Centre (IICC)’ is the first instalment of the TIES Living Lab Online Advanced Learning Series, which took place on Friday 22nd April 2022 and was hosted by Neil Robertson, CEO of the National Skills Academy for Rail (NSAR).

 

Charlie Davies, Strategic Growth Manager at Costain, discussed how innovation and user centric approaches can unlock value from data without suffering from overload. The IICC, developed as part of TIES Living Lab, is helping to unlock this challenge through an innovative approach to data management to help business decision-makers understand impact and efficiencies by putting the user first. The platform technology, supporting the Construction Playbook, is using data to prove MMC business cases in real-time time to transition infrastructure delivery from hindsight to insight with a clear path to foresight. Matthew Talliss, Head of Cost at East West Rail, and Paul Judge, Project Director at TfL, asked questions about real-world application and the legacy of the project.

 

If you are involved in designing and delivering infrastructure projects, then this event is for you.
