Where We're Headed: Construction Technology Trends for 2015Bridgit
Technology is evolving at an exponential rate. Each year we will see more impressive advancements than the last, and the time between a technology being born and its practical application will continue to become shorter and shorter.
Today, we’re seeing a lot of advancements that deal with the blending of the digital and physical worlds such as 3D printing and augmented reality. Making right now, a more important time than ever for construction professionals to pay attention to emerging trends in technology and ideate around how these trends can help in the industry.
Here is a compilation of trends in construction technology that are going to be important to pay attention to in 2015 and beyond.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Using Existing Technology to be More Productive in Construction
1. Construction Tech Tips
How to use existing technology to be more
productive in construction.
……………………………………………………
……………………………………………………
2. LAUREN HASEGAWA
Co-Founder, Bridgit
Lauren is a Structural Engineering
graduate with a background in
concrete restoration. As a young
engineer, Lauren has always had an
interest in how new technologies can
improve efficiency and productivity on
construction projects. With this
passion, she founded Bridgit, a
mobile and web communication
platform for the construction industry
in 2012. Bridgit focuses on developing
mobile-first solutions that can help
relieve on-site pain points, such as
deficiency management. Lauren is an
active mentor to young women in
engineering and a frequent speaker at
local and national industry events
focused on construction innovation.
5. It took less than 40 years
to go from the first PC
to the first iPad
6. … and just 4 years to go
from the first iPad to
Google Glass
7. We need to pay attention
to emerging trends in
technology
8.
9. Today, we’re talking about…
• Going paperless in construction
• Drones & UAVs for on-site photography
and video
• Efficiency through automation
• Personalized tech tips
10. Going paperless in
construction
Paperless construction is finally an attainable
reality. Increase mobility, productivity and
data collection using the cloud.
……………………………………………………
……………………………………………………
11.
12. Why paperless?
Dynamic documents.
Notes and updates recorded on paper cannot be searched,
duplicated or properly digitized
Data opportunities.
Everyone is talking about “big data” sets these days. With paper,
you essentially have no data.
Enhanced sharing & communication.
Digital documents can be shared, updated and accessed in the click
of a button. This makes communication much easier, especially on
large projects.
14. Storing documents, photos and files in the cloud can
be done using an enterprise system like Egnyte,
SharePoint, Box or simpler solutions such as
Google Drive and Dropbox.
Using the Cloud – Storage Options
15. When you’re working towards going
paperless, the hardware you have available
on-site is key.
• Rugged and durable
• Large screen sizes
• Enough hardware to go around
The Proper Hardware is Key
16.
17.
18. Going Paperless: Where to Start?
Going paperless is best done as a gradual process.
You can start small and still see big results!
Use the cloud to share.
Start by analyzing everything that gets printed and identifying if
there are any opportunities to share this information over email or
as a file stored in the could instead of printing
Invest in proper hardware.
Often times, screen size is the biggest reason that documents need
to exist as a hard copy instead of digital. Better hardware such as
TV screens or tablets can help here
Research the software options / mobile apps.
Identify opportunities to use software instead of manual processes
and begin investigating effective solutions
19. Drones & UAVs for on-site
photography and video
Drones and UAVs (unmanned aerial
vehicles) are making site photography in
remote areas easier than ever.
……………………………………………………
……………………………………………………
21. Site photography is used in three basic
situations:
1. Pre-construction for surveying of terrain,
environmental issues, etc.
2. Construction progress photography
3. Maintenance management
The Current State of Site
Photography
22. The options for high quality aerial images have
been historically expensive and cumbersome.
• Satellites
• Helicopters
• LiDar Maps
The Current State of Site
Photography
The photos are then
manually reviewed by field
engineers and compared
with separate models /
specifications
23. While helpful for the time being, field engineers
agree that these processes are:
• Highly subjective as they are based on one
field engineer’s judgment or experience
• Tedious as they require manual effort
• Difficult to scale, again, due to their manual
nature
How Current Photography is
Failing Us
26. Drone / UAV Photography
Some companies in the civil construction space
have already begun to experiment with drone
enabled photography
• Taking aerial imagery of a site prior to
construction and integrating the model over top
• Digitizing graphical terrain of an area for
construction and bringing that into the model
• Surveying areas, quantity takeoffs and
analyzing environmental issues
27. In addition to simple photography or video, imaging
technology is advancing at a rapid pace.
We will soon have
commercial access to
options like 360
degree video.
Taking Drone Photography a Step
Further
30. Yes, however the Canadian regulations regarding
unmanned aerial vehicles are always changing.
Transport Canada unveiled new guidelines in the Fall of
2014 which essentially say:
• Follow the rules set out in the
Canadian Aviation Regulations
• Respect the Criminal Code as
well as the federal, provincial
and territorial laws related to
trespassing and privacy
Are Drones / UAVs Legal?
31. Drones in Canada: Where to Start?
If you are interested in testing aerial video via drones on your next project,
here are the initial steps to take:
1. Identify a project and contact Transport Canada to confirm aerial
regulations in that area
2. Secure Transport Canada Insurance and Liability Insurance
3. Secure Transport Canada flight permit (currently 10+week wait after
insurance is purchased)
4. Determine if you are going to invest or outsource (recommendation is
to outsource for initial trials)
5. Set goals for your first trial (what information do you 100% want to
capture)
6. Examine footage and identify future
opportunities
Recommendations provided by:
39. Why automation?
Testing out workflow automations is a great way to:
1. Decrease re-work and speed up processes (e.g.
transferring site photos onto the computer)
2. Get comfortable using technology in smaller steps
3. Better understand the capabilities of software to
increase efficiency in construction project
management
4. Brainstorm ways that more sophisticated (and
custom) automations can help your team be more
productive
41. • Stay informed
• Encourage discussion
• Identify problems and seek
solutions
• Be open-minded, but stay critical
• Support evolving industry initiatives
related to technology
42. What seems like a stretch of
the imagination today, may
well be the reality of
tomorrow.
