Trimble, a leader in construction technology, said it will be highlighting the importance of implementing cutting-edge technologies to foster the Middle Eastern construction industry, at the upcoming 'BIM & Digital Twin Middle East 2022' event in Dubai.

 

The regional construction industry is undergoing digital transition to overcome challenges and meet customer needs, said the statement from Trimble.

 

This significant shift in the sector is due to the adoption of various new technologies – including BIM (building information modelling), digital twins, mixed reality, AI, robotics and machine learning - that have enabled the construction of massive projects like the Museum of the Future, the Burj Khalifa, One Za'abeel tower, and the Qatar Lusail Multipurpose Stadium.

 

The expo, which is one of the leading events on BIM, Digital Twins and related technologies, is scheduled to be held from September 20 to 21 in Dubai.

 

Tareq Al Masri, the Director of Sales and Channel, at Trimble Solutions, Middle East, is one of the key speakers at the event and will discuss the topic ‘Elevate Digital Twins with an Integrated Digital Delivery Ecosystem’. 

 

The session will be attended by representatives from the government, municipalities, contractors, infrastructure operators, civil engineering, developers, architecture, consultants, technology providers, industry associations and industry professionals. 

 

The topic will contain key examples from Trimble’s successful projects and a study on how Digital Twins is shaping the future of Middle East construction, said the statement.

 

Al Masri will also engage in a panel discussion themed, ‘Digital Twins for Infrastructure’, in which experts in infrastructure design and development will discuss the vital role of Digital Twins and the utilisation of it in new mega infrastructural projects.

 

According to experts, the construction industry will witness a drastic transformation through the Digital Twin technology with its market projected to hit $48.2 billion by 2026.

 

"We are delighted to be a part of this event as it is a great opportunity to share our knowledge and vision with professionals from the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector. Construction technology is becoming more and more prevalent among industry professionals but understanding how to utilise it can be difficult," said Al Masri.

 

"In order to educate the local players about these cutting-edge solutions, we as a solution provider step in. Over the years, we have gained exceptional experience through our projects, which includes the Dubai Opera House, Coca Cola arena, Midfield Terminal Abu Dhabi Airport, Sharjah Monument, National Museum of Qatar, Lusail Multi-Purpose Stadium by Norul Gulf, Riyadh Metro, Dubai Expo 2020, Riyadh metro, Neom and the Adly Mansour metro station in Egypt," he stated. 

 

"We are looking forward to interacting with industry professionals on the quick technical advancements that have made it necessary to create industry momentum to keep up the pace," he added. 

 

Paul Wallett, Regional Director of Trimble Solutions, said: "We can witness Digital Twin technology gaining popularity in the construction sector. There are numerous benefits of this technology in this sector, the major one being the enhancement of analytical capabilities of BIM."

 

"Digital Twins can help improve the quality of BIM models by giving stakeholders access to a project’s real-time status, working conditions and information on physical assets. For professionals in the construction industry, Digital Twins has become an important technological development," he noted. 

 

"We, as a construction solution provider, aim at shedding light on the workings and outcomes of the technology, and that is why we value our participation in events such as BIM & Digital Twin Middle East 2022," he added.

 

According to him, Trimble has been transforming the way the physical and digital world work with their world class digital construction technology solutions. 

 

The company’s participation as the silver sponsor in the event will highlight the growth, challenges and the future on Middle East construction industry and share best practices and case studies for the development of the construction sector, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
