Where does IoT diverge with Civil engineering?

Enterprise Technology Review | Thursday, July 11, 2019

IoT technology in civil engineering can provide multiple applications to the workers and manager hence increasing their efficiency up a notch.

FREMONT, CA: As innovations are being introduced regularly in the industrial market ecosystem, it becomes incredibly challenging to keep track of this fast-paced transition. However, the internet of things (IoT) is one technology that pops up in the mind of every business and industrial expert. Even the construction industry is one of the significant foundations of industrial infrastructure has to deal with various questionnaires of innovations by sceptical critics. Considering all the critical acclamations, IoT never stops to transform the civil sector, making it robust and reliable for the future. In 2020, the IoT devices are projecting to reach above 20 billion units globally, therefore, making the world increasingly interconnected.

The deployment of IoT will extend the operational boundaries of civil engineering by increasing access to real-time data. Furthermore, with the new age of geotechnical and construction monitoring, IoT is all set to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the civil workers and construction managers. Gathering data from every stage of a construction process by IoT sensors enables engineers to have an overview of the entire working schedule.

Accessing vital information remotely through embedded IoT devices decreases the risk of conducting a human error. On the rear side, the elimination of informative malfunctions reduce the scheduled time and lower the operational cost making the productivity of management team higher. In addition to increasing the quality of workers, critical assessment of machinery in real time will provide informative insights to ongoing maintenance teams. Automated monitoring of pressure, temperature, soil consolidation, and settlement data helps in determining terrain deformations, which enable planners to predetermine and process the working conditions accordingly.   

Low energy-sensors monitor infrastructural conditions and formulates a dashboard with every nuance necessary to maximize the efficiency and accuracy of the management processes. Project teams deploying wireless monitoring systems compromises the workloads of construction workers. The ability to gain data quickly bridges the gap between problem detection and solution formulation hence creating a risk-free environment to work.
