Opening Keynote: Going Underground!
Question: How do you build a complex with Illinois’ largest green roof, while lowering the carbon footprint, and reducing construction material quantities? Answer: build two subsurface levels at 300’ and 375’ below the surface. Learn how The Invert has “inverted” the community engagement, design, and engineering processes to build a 6 million square foot complex that will leverage renewable energy and create over 2,500 permanent jobs, revitalizing a historic economic center of Chicago for a cleaner, modern purpose.
Presented by:
Karl Heitman, President, Heitman Architects Incorporated
Steve King, President, Invert
Isaac Yun, VP of Design, Invert
Alberto Rincon, Director of Community Planning, Invert
Optimizing Critical Infrastructure Digital Twins through the Entire Asset Life Cycle
This is a moment for action. But how can digital twins be mobilized to modernize the grid, and what does it mean for the hand-off between Owners, Engineers & GCs throughout an asset life cycle?
Presented by:
Brian Saab, Founder & CEO, Unearth Technologies
Networking Break
Digital Transformation of the Job Site
Do you know what it takes to transform the traditionally disconnected construction job site into an optimized Smart Construction job site? Learn how Komatsu implemented technology solutions with its construction team at their new Milwaukee headquarters site. This session will demonstrate how integrating 3D data, IoT, and apps into the construction process can address the skilled labor shortage, productivity improvements, construction waste, communications and data flow, and execution discrepancy.
Presented by:
Jason Anetsberger, Director of Customer Solutions, Komatsu
Yoetzin Diaz, Smart Construction Solutions Manager, Komatsu
The Nation's #1 Dirt and Aggregate Marketplace creates efficiency and transparency and disrupts an age-old industry
In this session, you will hear real world examples of how Soil Connect created a dirt and aggregates marketplace that has transformed the way construction professionals, like ARCO/Murray, source and/or move dirt from their jobsites and the impact construction tech has had on how they now plan their projects.
Presented by:
Cliff Fetner, Founder & CEO, Soil Connect
Analyst Luncheon
Robotics as a Tool
Construction professionals are afraid of losing their jobs to robots and we need to change that way of thinking. Research shows that robotic solutions create new job opportunities and eliminate people to do repetitive, boring and dangerous tasks over and over such as layout, painting, tying rebar, striping or brick laying. In this session, Tom will share how he changed operators and union workers fears to look at robots as a tool that empowers them to do more while benefiting from safer and a better work environment.
Presented by:
Tom Yeshurun, Founder & CEO, Civ Robotics
Bringing Digital Twin Technology and Artificial Intelligence to the Civil Infrastructure Asset Management Community
Civil Infrastructure systems evolve over time and therefore must be assessed at routine intervals, as well as after any disaster event. Unfortunately, current practices provide subjective and inconsistent data that limits the ability to fully understand the condition and the behavior of the in-service asset and predict its remaining service life. In this talk, we will discuss how to achieve this by combining civil engineering and artificial intelligence technologies.
Presented by:
Edgar Martinez Ceja, COO & Co-Founder, Aren
Networking Break
Executive Panel: Utilizing Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning to Modernize the Built World
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning are beginning to play an important role in the development and maintenance of infrastructure systems across the globe. From the design and development of roads, dams, and buildings by civil engineers to project management across ongoing projects, AI & ML continue to significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the world's infrastructure.
