Laing O'Rourke PLC.

Laing O’Rourke has previously developed a suite of tools to demonstrate the feasibility of digitally automated bridge design. Manufacturing, assembly and installation processes have been proven and tested using precast protype modular components. The project will develop this further to produce a system that digitally enables the rapid design, optioneerin...

"The construction industry's strategy is to improve productivity and meet the Government's Construction 2025 targets.The **Augmented Reality for Operative Productivity and Continuous Quality Analysis (AROPCQA)** project aims to improve productivity and quality by creating the common platform using digital technologies and process workflows to develop a us...

This proposal is submitted to Innovate UK for consideration of grant funding to expand the use of augmented and virtual reality in construction, by developing an Augmented Worker System enabling the intelligent design, construction, maintenance and whole-life value of construction buildings. The construction sector is a key sector to the UK economy and is...

Carbon emissions from the built environment are a paramount factor regarding climate change and resource efficiency. The construction industry has so far mainly been focusing on emissions from the operation of buildings, disregarding any further carbon incurred over the life cycle of projects (Whole Life Carbon WLC) like carbon embodied in the building el...

A project to develop an integrated digital delivery process for bridges and bridge parts. It will address the whole lifecycle of bridges from identification and rationalisation of needs to manufacture, assembly, operation, maintenance and decommissioning. The output will be an interoperable set of digital tools, data schema and virtual prototyping process...

The aim of the Digitally Enabled Electrification project is to develop an integrated digital electrification delivery solution for Overhead Line Equipment (OLE). It will do this by analysing and streamlining current practice and requirements for the data exchange interfaces and process involved. This promotes the Government’s £310bn infrastructure plan, C...

The project is to optimise the design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) of large preassembled components for reinforced concrete construction in nuclear and heavy civils projects. The project will develop and test DfMA components to increase productivity and improve safety and quality over more traditional in-situ methods of construction. It will addres...

This project develops and trials a new way working on the construction of an £8m Royal Marines’ training centre in Lympstone, Dorset, for the MOD to be completed in 2015. Normally, design consultants and construction specialists in the design and construction team will each insure against their individual liabilities on a construction project. This is was...

Novacem is a novel cement based on magnesium compounds that does not require raw material decarbonation. It could eliminate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from cement production, and can potentially go beyond carbon neutral to absorb carbon dioxide and achieve carbon negative production. It has the potential to become a widespread replacement for Portland...

The construction industry faces a major challenge in meeting current and future sustainability targets. Claylite Aggregates, in collaboration with construction leaders Laing O’Rourke and academic partner Imperial College London, have successfully completed a TSB funded 3-year investigation into the development of novel and sustainable lightweight aggregat...
