2 PRESENTATION OUTLINE WHY INNOVATION IN CONSTRUCTION? WHAT MAIN TRENDS ARE OUT THERE? WHERE IS THE INDUSTRY NOW IN REFERENCE TO OTHERS? EXAMPLES OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY ON IH-45 RECONSTRUCTION IN WALKER COUNTY HOW CAN INNOVATION HELP CONSTRUCTION? FUTURE OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY ON IH-45 AND OTHER EXAMPLES BY FERROVIAL 2

3 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW WHY INNOVATION IN CONSTRUCTION? Imperative for optimization of processes, improve safety, quality and efficiency WHERE IS CONSTRUCTION IN REFERENCE TO OTHERS? Labor productivity in construction growth of 1% Vs Manufacturing of 3.6% in last 20 years Source: McKinsey,

4 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW HOW CAN INNOVATION HELP CONSTRUCTION? Safety Quality Cost and Time Efficiency WHAT MAIN TRENDS ARE OUT THERE? Drone and GPS aided technology Wearable and Remotely controlled devices BIM and Big Data (IoT) Pre-Fabricated and Standardized solutions Innovative materials & Construction processes (VE) Targeted training and development programs for labor 4

10 Non-Recurrent Congestion= 55% Recurrent Congestion= 45% 5% 10% 15% 40% TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT $100 billion per year IMPACT due to CONGESTION (about $750 for every U.S. commuter) 25% 5% Bottleneck Poor SignalTiming Traffic Incidents Bad Weather Work Zones Special Event Urban Mobility Report, Schrank D., Lomax T., Texas Transportation Institute 10

11 SMART TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Monitors traffic and Responds Accordingly 11

12 SMART TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SMART TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Monitors traffic and Responds Accordingly Allows dynamic-real time control of traffic conditions Set-Up, messages and responses per contract drawings 12

13 SMART TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Set-Up, messages and responses defined in the drawings 13

14 REMOTELY CONTROLLED MESSAGE BOARDS Safe, immediate message adjustments 14

15 REMOTELY CONTROLLED MESSAGE BOARDS Safe, immediate message adjustments 15

16 REMOTELY CONTROLLED MESSAGE BOARDS Safe, immediate message adjustments They can be pretty fun too 16

17 GPS CONTROLLED AND AIDED HEAVY EQUIPMENT Grade control blade and dozers for roadwork Results in consistent accuracy Improved compatibility with DTM Less dependent on operator skills 17

18 GPS CONTROLLED AND AIDED HEAVY EQUIPMENT Excavation operations Feedback from usage Reduced labor needs during excavations Increased safety Slope controlled Minimize Rework 18

19 GPS CONTROLLED AND AIDED HEAVY EQUIPMENT Trimmer/Belt Placer For finished subgrade String-less trimmer/belt placer device Improved yield on concrete pavement Improved Ride while increasing efficiency on subgrade finishing teams 19
