Most of the world has recognized that we need to digitalise our activities to make our operations more efficient, safer and allow us to manage by fact.

Whilst all organizations are digitalizing, no two are doing it in exactly the same way, at the same speed or have exactly the same challenges.

We are however all solving similar problems, rather than face these alone we have the opportunity within the MHA+ community to learn from each other’s successes and failures.

The workshop will focus on

Design, Construction, Handover & Maintenance. The event will provide four sessions which will present the art of the possible, what our event presenters see as some of the good solutions and where we are aiming for.

The aim of the digital workshops is make connections with people interested in the digitalisation of highway works across the MHA+ and to help MHA+ members and supply chain partners on their digitalisation journey.

There will be talks delivered by MHA+ contractors / designers / authorities, covering:

Value in Digitalisation of Design: including 3D Concrete Printing for highways

Value in Digitalisation of Construction; including digitalisation of concrete testing

Value in Digitalisation of Handover: including digitalisation of highway testing

Value in Digitalisation of maintenance

as well as talks from three innovative companies that are winning awards for their work in this space:

• Cloud Cycle – who have technology that eliminates the slump test and provides a golden thread for readymix concrete
• Changemaker3D – who have worked out how to make 3D concrete printing relevant to highways
• Highway Data Systems – who have technology that eliminates the need for technicians when surfacing

lunch and refreshments are provided
