Transforming Building Construction and Operations with Digital Twins: A Must for Owners
DPR Construction's Hannu Lindberg Discusses Streamlined Project Delivery, Collaborative Workflows, and the Lifecycle Use of Building Information and Data
BALTIMORE, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Construction project owners embracing digital twin technology can not only realize value from the technology but also shape how future projects are built, managed, and maintained, according to Hannu Lindberg, DPR Construction technology leader, during the National Institute of Building Sciences Digital Twins conference. Lindberg noted that digital twins, one of our time's most transformative and under-utilized technologies, is an essential solution for modeling, optimizing, and enhancing products, services, processes, and buildings.
"Digital twin technology is transforming the design and construction of a building from its traditional, fragmented approach into a collaborative, data-driven process," Lindberg said.
"The use of the technology enables greater prototyping in design, enables digital workflows for prefabrication and robotics integration, mitigates field rework and improves quality, and allows owners to have a virtual representation of real-world entities to maintain their assets with greater accuracy."
By leveraging digital twins, owners set the foundation for innovative, resilient, and sustainable lifecycle asset management that delivers measurable value over time. Lindberg identified five reasons owners should adopt digital twin technology:
"The most effective digital twins are built in collaboration with the architect, engineer, contractor, and trade partners for construction," Lindberg said. "This collaboration is facilitated through alternative delivery methods, including progressive design-build or integrated project delivery workflows, early contractor involvement, and precise logistics planning."
