DIGITISATION OF CONCRETE INFORMATION FLOWS

Objective: To develop an innovative solution to manage the information relating to the concrete on site, providing traceability of the information from the manufacturing plant, with the quality tests carried out in the laboratory, BIM models and the possibility of calculating the carbon footprint taking into account the type of concrete and the emission factor provided by the supplier instead of general factors.

Challenges:

-link the information on the concrete delivery note with the parameters of the BIM model of the concreted objects and the results of the test specimens in the laboratory, in a digitalised and automated way

-avoid entering the information manually

-link the above information with the emission factor indicated by the supplier

-automated calculation of the equivalent carbon footprint of a BIM object.

-quickly consult the delivery note, resistance and footprint information of a BIM object.

Expected Impact:

Improved efficiency on site, taking data digitally and automatically from the supplier and digitally on site. No need to handwrite or repeat information in different formats or platforms.

More realistic calculation of the equivalent carbon footprint per concrete purchase.
