"There needs to be a value put on innovation!" Really interesting morning yesterday at the North East Construction Innovation Ecosystem, we seem to have the mindset that if the last project didn't kill us then why change it? This is the exact thinking that needs change. Great table discussion with Dr. Sharon Grant, Lee Baum, Sebastian Weise, Tom Jarman & others. Our conclusion was that we need the PEOPLE, the INVESTMENT & the PLAN. Simple right? Thanks to Helen Goodland & Peter Barker for presenting.

A very useful article about Innovation, Sustainability in construction industry would like to share. To what extent is innovation the key to making sustainable construction a reality? Innovation has a crucial role to play for the construction sector as it seeks to limit its impact on the environment. The development of sustainable products manufactured from recycled or renewable sources must go hand in hand with better energy efficiency. Rationality is a must, and we need to control the use of systems that consume a lot of energy such as ventilation. Innovation is making it possible to get similar results while consuming less. By investing in sustainable products, construction firms cannot only reduce their environmental impact, but also create buildings that are more hard wearing and efficient that are better for their occupants’ health.?? https://lnkd.in/ds2xj8EA

Cross-Industry Innovation: Unlocking New Opportunities by Applying Existing Solutions to Your Field In today's rapidly evolving world, innovation is often perceived as creating something entirely new.

Makino invests US $21M in Querétaro tech innovation center October 8, 2024 at 02:55PM https://ift.tt/zsh1iGy https://ift.tt/2TsjZBk Makino, one of the world’s leading companies in advanced manufacturing technology, has broken ground on a new tech innovation center in Querétaro.? “The talent and capacity of the people of Querétaro continue to attract key investments for technological development!” Governor Mauricio Kuri wrote on Sept. 30 on his official X account after leading an inauguration ceremony earlier that day.? Kuri, second from left, listens as details of the Makino company’s planned tech innovation center are explained to him. (Mauricio Kuri/Facebook) With an investment of 400 million pesos (US $21 million), the new plant will supply production machinery to the automotive, medical, and aerospace industries, the tractor-trailer manufacturing sector, and the household goods and electronics manufacturers. The plant is expected to start operations next year, creating over 200 jobs in the state.? Once the plant begins operations, the company expects engineering projects to be conducted for five machining centers within the first year, each with a capacity of 20 to 25 machines integrated with advanced engineering systems and robots.? The facility will have LEED Gold certification (signaling a project’s comprehensive adoption of best sustainability practices). It will harness sunlight, rain and wind and will have thermally insulated walls. Head of Makino México, Eduardo Medrano, told El Economista magazine that they believe this project will spearhead engineering services in Mexico and will establish the center as a benchmark in the production of complete manufacturing solutions. “We manufacture machinery in Japan, Singapore, and China. Makino wants Mexico to create engineering projects to use this machinery technology, generate it with inventiveness, and use Mexican creativity to assemble it with automation,” Medrano said, stressing that it will be an “iconic” project for the state and for the North American region in general. Makino, Inc. CEO Peter Hoecklin explained that the company’s decision to expand in Mexico results from an exhaustive analysis of global opportunities. Mexico offers competitive costs, a young population, an open economy, and a privileged location, Medrano said..? Meanwhile, Makino’s global president, Shotaro Miyazaki, stressed that Mexico is key to the company’s strategy in emerging markets, with Querétaro standing out for its infrastructure, education, and highly qualified workforce. Makino’s investment joins the one recently announced by tech giant Microsoft in the state. In May, the company inaugurated Microsoft’s first Hyperscale Cloud Data Center Region of its kind in Spanish-speaking Latin America.? Querétaro will also be the site of an investment of over $5 billion by Amazon Web Services in a cluster of data centers, which was announced in February. With reports from El Economista and...

So most people will now be aware of the big focus on storm overflows into watercourses over the last few years In the last year I’ve been heavily involved in projects small and large with the aim of reducing these events, this has been challenging however it’s good to see projects starting to be built and show good results What I find amazing still is how some of these projects are fairly minor, as simple as implementing small fixes with big results, on the other end of the scale projects that involve higher complexity fixes - this all while trying to fit them into existing infrastructure Innovation is key, there are some amazing projects coming up while the more traditional build types are being challenged to reduce carbon (and concrete) which seems fairly traditional on the sewer network Looking forward to sharing some of these projects in the future as they hit site and progress

Too much believed that managing a construction site was all about good manual practices and strict on-site supervision. But... modern challenges and rising expectations for sustainability and efficiency are pushing us to rethink our approach. Traditionally, it was thought that: Adopting digital technologies took too much time , was unnecessary and too complex. Sustainable materials were too costly and difficult to integrate. Artificial intelligence was just a futuristic concept, not applicable to current construction sites. Today, things have changed: -85% of construction companies are adopting digital technologies to improve accuracy and efficiency. ?? -68% of projects use sustainable materials, proving that sustainability is not only possible but also beneficial. ?? -30% of construction sites will integrate artificial intelligence by the end of 2024, revolutionizing resource management and optimizing operations. ?? Too many believed that sticking to traditional methods was the key to success in construction. Today,we understand that innovation and adaptation are essential for moving forward. What conclusion can we draw to move forward? I let you answer in the comments ?

What is Innovation Without Practicality? Innovation drives progress, but even the best ideas can fall short without practicality. In construction, advancements must be both visionary and feasible to truly impact the industry. New technologies and methods need to address real-world manufacturing & jobsite challenges like budget, schedule, and labor shortages. Let's embrace solutions that inspire the next generation while enhancing the current one! #construction #innovation #mytwocents #foodforthought
