Innovation and Knowledge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction - Collaborative Programme Tranche 2

Lead Research Organisation: University of Cambridge

Abstract

The Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC) research focuses on the innovative use of emerging technologies in sensor and data management, coupled with emerging best practice in the form of applying the latest manufacturing and supply chain management approaches to construction and infrastructure. It aims to develop completely new markets and achieve breakthroughs in performance.

CSIC focuses on the innovative use of emerging technologies in sensor and data management (e.g. fibre optics, MEMS, computer vision, power harvesting, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Networks). It aims to develop completely new markets and achieve breakthroughs in performance.

The outputs of the Centre will provide the construction industry and infrastructure owners and operators with the means to ensure that very challenging new performance targets can be met. Furthermore, the potential breakthroughs will make the industry more efficient and therefore more profitable. They will give UK companies a competitive advantage in the increasingly global construction market.

CSIC works closely with our large network of industry partners in developing the strategic direction for the Centre and in collaborative projects. To date, the Centre has over 30 demonstration projects and case studies.

In this proposal for Tranche 2 funding, we seek to build on the research and demonstration projects carried out in the Core programme and the Tranche 1 Collaborative Projects, with a strong focus on developing the outputs of these projects to be market ready, through development of the technologies into products and through standardisation of the deployment of sensor technologies in infrastructure environments and of the analysis of the data produced.

Important to this aim is the creation of an 'incubator team' who will carry out product development activities and will deploy sensor technologies in the field, further demonstrating and refining CSIC's capability and demonstrating the value of this capability to the market. The team will be constituted so that it can respond rapidly to client demand for demonstration and deployment of technologies and interpretation of data, creating maximum value for our industry partners.

This will result in a number of outputs designed to catalyse widespread uptake in the infrastructure industry, including:

1) Specific commercialisation opportunities for the technologies through joint ventures, spin outs or licensing of IP;

2) Consulting services, deploying sensors to assist clients e.g. in monitoring sensitive structures during construction, understanding live performance of assets or designing new assets efficiently based on data from monitored assets;

3) Development of best practice guidance for structural health monitoring of assets, deployment of sensor networks, and analysis of data; and

4) Development of training packages for industry

In addition to this, CSIC will carry out further research to expand the capability of the Centre's technologies into new areas, as identified by our industry partners through meetings and workshops.

Planned Impact

CSIC is positioned within the global construction industry market. Construction is a critically important element of the UK economy representing 7% of GDP, or £110bn per annum, of which £18bn is infrastructure(Cabinet Office, 2011). The UK government continues to emphasise the importance of investing in infrastructure to underpin economic recovery (Chancellor's Autumn Statement, 05/12/12), with current government estimates of expenditure in construction at £250bn between 2011 and 2015. There is also a recognition of the need for better quality asset data to improve decision-making and reduce costs (National Infrastructure Plan, HM Treasury, 2012).

Radical changes in the construction industry are needed, leading to dramatic improvements in a wide range ofkey performance indicators for the industry, not least of which is productivity as well as competiveness for UK industry in aglobal market.
CSIC aims to achieve the following impacts:

(a) Fostering scientific research in the application and adoption of emerging smart technologies to develop a new academicnetwork in the area of Smart Infrastructure and Construction.

(b) Systemisation, standardisation, and ultimately optimization of construction processes, through better understanding of the behaviour of built structures. The understanding and real data developed through the centre will enable a review of design codes for infrastructure assets, to generate codes and designs which are more efficient in terms of use of material, build times and approaches to maintenance.

(c) Reduction in CapEx and OpEx through development of a 'whole life' asset management approach for infrastructure assets. This will inform the design and monitoring protocols for those assets, and will reduce the operating expenditure during the lifetime of the assets by generating reliable information on asset condition to inform maintenance requirements. It will also reduce the capital cost of assets by informing the next generation of designs.

(d) Development of new skilled workforces that will realize the step changes addressed in the proposal and will make the construction and infrastructure industry more efficient and hence more profitable.

CSIC seeks to reinvigorate the industry such that it adopts the technologies and management methods that will rival other manufacturing sectors such as the aerospace and automotive industries. The construction and infrastructure industry will be more sustainable and competitive, thereby improving the environment, the economy and society in general.

Title Four Futures, One Choice - Interactive Children's Book - Dr Didem Gürdür Broo 
Description A new book written during the COVID-19 pandemic and global climate crisis paints a picture of how the choices we make today are vital in shaping our future built environment world - and asks us all to decide what sort of society we want to live in. This is a vital moment in the global story, with many possible paths laid out ahead, but ultimately it is up to you to decide what you're going to do. What kind of future do you want to live in and what are you going to do to make it happen? Four Futures, One Choice Co-authored by CSIC and Laing O'Rourke Centre for Construction Engineering and Technology Research Associate, Dr Didem Gürdür Broo, 'Four Futures, One Choice - Options for the Digital Built Britain of 2040' presents possible futures for the built environment to provide insight into how we can take swift and decisive actions to support a flourishing future and reduce our negative impact on the global environment. Developed by the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) as part of the Construction Innovation Hub's transformative programme, the multi-disciplinary group of contributing authors are researchers at CDBB and includes: Kirsten Lamb, Richmond Juvenile Ehwi; Erika Parn, Antiopi Koronaki, Chara Makri and Thayla Zomer. 'Four Futures One Choice' brings focus to opportunities presented as we plan recovery from COVID-19, the role of data to support and enhance sustainability and equality, and the potential of the UN Sustainable Development Goals to shape the built environment world of the future. Highlighting four possible scenarios for 2040: A legacy of hope; Generation zero; Resigned to our fate; and Too little, too late; the book considers Britain's economy, society and environment to explore the influencing factors and trends involved in each scenario, and the complexities of the interconnecting systems that shape these dimensions. "While we can't guarantee, with any certainty, the outcomes our decisions as society, policy makers or decision-makers in the built environment will have, exploring future scenarios helps us identify the direction we would prefer and ultimately which way we should steer."

Description CSIC's research has resulted in a range of outcomes which have delivered direct insights to assist in delivery of smart infrastructure and construction. These include:

• A robust and innovative Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing (DFOS) optical fibre installation technique for piles, retaining walls and tunnels which was used and refined in a series of case studies, providing important new insights into detailed microstrain soil-structure interaction mechanisms in large, complex civil engineering structures

• Development of a range of other sensing technologies for civil engineering applications, including photogrammetry, MEMS strain sensors, MEMS energy harvesting solutions,

• Use of developed sensing solutions to research behaviour of real infrastructure, including developing further fundamental research insights into challenges such as soil-structure interaction; behaviour and condition of ageing masonry structures; behaviour of tunnels and shafts;

• Tools for whole life, value based asset management, including futureproofing frameworks, decision support frameworks, machine learning solutions for assessing criticality and optimising maintenance strategies;

• Research into use of the ground to provide heating and cooling solutions at a district level, and the impacts of underground development on this; '3-dimensional' planning of the sub-surface.

We have also delivered outputs to enable exploitation of our research outputs by industry and funders. These include:

• Development of guidance and policy inputs including: 4 ICE Guidance Books https://bit.ly/2O2NmyY; Report for DfT on smart infrastructure https://bit.ly/2XVhRLA - this was picked up in DfT policy documents; Input to National Infrastructure Commission 'Data for the Public Good' report;

• Three monitoring/ sensing spinouts: 8Power; Utterberry; Epsimon

• Industry training courses: CSIC delivered several training courses to industry, including open courses and tailored courses at request. Attendees came from a wide range of contractors, consultants and asset owners

• CSIC staff have been invited to speak at industry-focussed conferences and meetings, including Ground Engineering, EcoBuild, National Infrastructure Forum, Institution of Civil Engineers.
Exploitation Route CSIC's work is already being implemented and taken forward, both within academia and outside.
The Phase 1 funding has resulted in further Phase 2 IKC funding (£5M), and in £5M of additional grant funding from a range of sources including EPSRC, Innovate UK, Horizon 2020 and industry funding.

CSIC's technologies have been deployed to monitor a range of infrastructure including Network Rail bridges and cuttings, tall building under construction, heritage assets subject to impact from new construction.

CSIC has been active in influencing policy. The Department for Transportation (DfT) commissioned a report from CSIC (https://bit.ly/2XVhRLA), and our work has been referenced by National Infrastructure Commission in, 'Data for the Public Good' December 2017, and the Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) Report 'Transforming Infrastructure Performance' Dec 2017.

Description NOTE - Due to the wide scope of CSIC activities, only the briefest description can be given here. For further information please see our CSIC Annual Reviews and at our website http://www-smartinfrastructure.eng.cam.ac.uk/news/newsletters. The engineering, management, maintenance and upgrading of infrastructure has required fresh thinking to minimise use of materials, energy and labour whilst still ensuring resilience. This can only be achieved by a full understanding of the performance of the infrastructure, both during its construction and throughout its design life, through the application of innovative sensor technologies and other emerging technologies. The key aim of CSIC is to transform the construction industry through a whole-life approach to achieving sustainability in construction and infrastructure in an integrated way, employing emerging technologies from world-leading research at Cambridge. This covers: design and commissioning, the construction process, exploitation and use, and eventual de-commissioning Crucial elements of these emerging technologies are the innovative application of the latest sensor technologies, data management tools, manufacturing processes and supply chain management processes to the construction industry, both during infrastructure construction and throughout its design life. CSIC has sought to integrate these innovations for exploitation and knowledge transfer - something which was new to the UK construction and infrastructure industry. CSIC work in development of sensor systems, use of the resultant data to understand the behaviour of structures, and work on improving value-based asset management approaches in construction and infrastructure, over the last 7 years (and some founding research preceding this), has led to the following impacts to industry: • development of robust sensing systems which have been deployed by industry including development of Fibre Optic Strain and Temperature Sensing including 'industry ready' solutions that can be deployed by on-site operatives, leading to Skanska, with substantial investment, setting up their own fibre optic sensing unit, CEMOPTICS • deployment of such sensing systems on a range of real construction and infrastructure projects has led to substantial savings and opportunities to do things differently. These include CSIC's project at Bevis Marks and St Mary Abchurch, where the deployment of the systems saved £6M (Bevis Marks) and over £1M (St Mary Abchurch), and led to wider benefits such as carbon savings (Bevis Marks and St Mary Abchurch) and preservation of a significant heritage asset in the heart of London (St Mary Abchurch) • a broad range of other monitoring deployments by industry including: monitoring of 150 year old operational structures by Network Rail (in collaboration with contractors and consultants e.g. Laing O Rourke, Aecom, Arup, Costain); monitoring of heritage assets by Dragados during the Bank station capacity upgrade works; monitoring of axial shortening in a tall building (Principle Tower). • as a result of the research and demonstration activities of CSIC, we have had direct input to a number of industry standards for deployment and use of sensors and resultant data in infrastructure and construction projects including input to ASTM fibre optic standards and inclusion of Fibre Optic Strain Sensing as a preferred method for monitoring pile load tests in the ICE Specification for piling and embedded retaining walls. • development of asset management theories and frameworks has led to a substantial change in the industry's approach to use and curation of actual data (as generated by the above sensors systems and other systems). Frameworks developed during CSIC work are now being deployed actively by industry partners, including Mott McDonald adopting the BIM maturity assessment tool (BMAT), and discussions with industry on wider adoption of BMAT As well as individual success cited above, there has been systemic influence of the combined CSIC outputs, both on industry practice and government policy. This is evidenced in our reports being specifically referenced by government (NIC and IPA) in calls for evidence and policy papers, and by National Infrastructure Commission in their 'Data for the Public Good' report, which led to the setting up of a national Digital Framework Task Group to deliver on the NIC's recommendations to government (and which Parlikad and Schooling remain closely involved with). Highways England has invested in an innovation project on Embedded Asset Sensing, which will evaluate and demonstrate different sensing solutions as part of the 'Smart Motorways' project, to improve condition monitoring on highways. This is currently in the 'Develop' phase, but will have completed its 'Develop' and possibly some 'Demonstrate' phases before REF submission. Total investment by HE in this programme of work is likely to be upwards of £500K before the REF deadline. We have further examples of CSIC being called in to advise industry when they have been unable to get solutions from existing industry practice. Many of these are confidential and cannot be referenced here. Aa an example CSIC has been employing new technologies for Network Rail to ameliorate concerns that a mainline route may be closed by rock falls when no mainstream monitoring technology has proved successful. CSIC have key roles on UK national infrastructure bodies driving policy and government investment plans for open information sharing. Spin-outs - Three start-up companies have spun out from CSIC - Epsimon, 8Power, and UtterBerry, creating new jobs and meeting the need for new technologies in the marketplace.

Description 'Design Engineer Construct!' Digital Twins workshop-Didem Gurdur Broo
Geographic Reach National 
Policy Influence Type Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact Dr Didem Gürdür Broo, CSIC Research Associate, champions the education of young people in data science and was delighted to be asked to be part of a virtual Digital Twins workshop for Class of Your Own secondary school students held this month (July). Class of Your Own (COYO) was launched as a Social Business in 2009 to provide STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths)-focused creative curriculum and built environment student engagement programmes. Created by land surveyor Alison Watson, the Design, Engineer Construct! (DEC) learning programme includes fully-accredited qualifications and is delivered in schools and colleges across the UK and internationally, and is supported by industry leaders, professional bodies and universities. "My involvement came from a chat I had with a former colleague at the University of Cambridge who is now at Bentley Systems, Maria Gkovedarou, about how important it is to educate the current and future workforce on data science and digital twins. I have a huge respect for and big expectations of our future generations because they are growing up in a different world and have access to tools and resources that I believe can change the future." Bentley Systems supports the DEC programme and hosted the first ever Future Infrastructure Challenge: DEC Hyperloop in 2019, which required sixth form students, aged 16 to 18, from four schools in the UK to conceptualise a design of a hyperloop transport system and stations for Singapore. A number of students who have been working on their hyperloop infrastructure projects for 18 months were invited to attend a week of intensive workshops held this summer to complete their programme of study, and be the first in the world to gain a brand new DEC qualification for young people aged 16 plus. Alison Watson, CEO and Founder of COYO, invited Didem to lead the Digital Twins workshop, which was supported by Alison and Maria. "Preparing to communicate data science and Digital Twins to a younger audience during the hour-long workshop presented the greatest challenge," said Didem. "Describing the concepts in a simplified way without using academic jargon was a useful exercise. I did not know if the students would engage with my teaching or not, but their confidence and ability to ask questions and engage with discussions made everything easy. The rewarding part of it was to work with so many bright minds and to initiate some thinking out-of-the-box process with them. It was a very interactive way of teaching and the students engaged with the topic, asked me really important questions and answered my questions with honesty - they did not hesitate to criticise the whole concept and its applications. "They immediately saw the value of using Digital Twins and asked me some questions about how and what they should think about. I enjoyed the whole process and felt really hopeful after the workshop. I am very thankful for this opportunity - I would be happy to do it again." Class of Your Own launches the Level 3 'Design Engineer Construct! Future Infrastructure' qualification this autumn and once again, the organisation has the support of significant leaders. Alison Watson said: "COYO might be a small organisation, but our mission is as big as ever; to educate the Future of Construction, the incredible digital talent that sits in classrooms around the world. Great champions like Didem inspire our students and give genuine context to their studies. I'm thrilled she agreed to get involved and I look forward to next time."

Impact Identifying a lack of information "on pore water pressures and suctions in slopes and embankments and on their response to different rainfall and weather patterns", the Review recommends an increase of investment in research and development: "The development of data analytics is also considered as a useful tool to manage a large and complex asset base and harnessing more value from existing data sets through smarter information." In conclusion the Review states: "We recommend that Network Rail build on their comprehensive asset management system and progressively adopt a broader and more integrated approach to the management of Earthworks, Drainage and Vegetation, taking account of changing weather patterns. There is a need to breakdown the historic silos between these interdependent assets across the organisation to support the delivery of a safe, cost-effective and sustainable railway infrastructure into the future."

This will require an evolution in the skills we teach young professionals, closer collaboration between academia and industry so that we can speed up innovation, and a common language of carbon that crosses the barriers between traditional roles in our sectors. This event, with its dialogue between young and senior professionals, will examine what needs to happen now to kick start these changes."

Description Line of Sight: an Asset Management Methodology to Support Organisational Objectives
Geographic Reach Multiple continents/international 
Policy Influence Type Contribution to new or Improved professional practice
Impact Dr Jennifer Schooling, Director of CSIC said: "The importance of achieving a clear line of sight between organisational objectives and asset requirements cannot be understated. Especially so given the extent of our existing asset infrastructure; in the UK we add just 0.5 per cent to its capital value every year [1]. Hence our asset infrastructure will be with us for some time to come and a direct line of sight, a 'golden thread' between information on those assets and organisational objectives is absolutely crucial - doubly so as delivery of organisational objectives is impacted by climate change, global pandemics, environmental targets and more." The Line of Sight Methodology has already been tested by Jacobs on the Network Rail Transpennine Route Upgrade and industry-friendly tools and guidance on adopting the methodology are in development. "The Line of Sight Methodology aims to address the fundamental challenge of developing information requirements by developing Organisational and Asset Information Requirements that ultimately enable digital transformation within the industry. This project addresses this challenge by providing a structured approach to the development of information requirements," said Heaton. "We are actively engaging with the broader industry and collating feedback to ensure that the methodology meets the needs of its intended users. We are keen to hear from companies and organisations in the industry wishing to trial or start using the Line of Sight Methodology."

Title BIM Maturity Assessment Tool 
Description CSIC's BIM Maturity Assessment Tool (BMAT), initially developed in 2017, uses established performance measurement practices, BIM literature, and other relevant standards, to build and expand on previous BIM assessment tools. Consisting of two major parts -measurement of the organisation's BIM development maturity and measurement of the supporting processes - the tool provides a separate assessment of the different stakeholders (contractor, designer and employer), and is designed to be used as a continuous performance measurement tool that can be employed to track the evolution of BIM maturity throughout the construction phase through to handover. The Excel-based tool is designed to be user friendly and adaptable to the needs of individual organisations and projects. Limited testing of the tool was successful but more case studies were needed for validation. Secondment project - BIM Maturity Assessment Tool - This aim of the secondment project was to ensure the tool complies with all of the applicable standards, to validate the tool through five additional cross-sector case studies and to ensure its appropriateness for Level 2 BIM maturity assessments. Also, the tool required future-proofing for extension beyond Level 2. In order to develop the tool and make it effective and useful to industry, diverse case studies were identified from a range of sectors (water, railways, highways, and nuclear) and various stages in the project delivery cycle (design, construction and handover) as well as different contract types (e.g. traditional, and, design and build). The updated tool is structured to ask the right questions of the user depending on the stage of the Information Delivery Cycle (IDC) and which stakeholders are involved. The tool is designed to reveal how well the asset owner has defined the asset information requirements and how well the different project stakeholders have defined their approach to develop these requirements for both the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and the Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP). The tool enables clarity on who owns the data, who owns the common data environment, and who will take responsibility for the Asset Information Model (AIM) upon handover. Questions are asked about competency and information production, which standards have been applied, how to measure the quality of data used, and how the different stakeholders collaborate. The tool is designed to be extended further. Plans include testing additional case studies and improving the weighting system and interdependencies between the various BIM elements, as well as the development of a web-based version which will enable widely processing and disseminating maturity assessment results across the country.

Title Foundation anomaly detection with thermal integrity testing 
Description An anomaly detection system for cast in-situ piles has developed in CSIC. The system employed a new integrity test, Thermal Integrity Profiling (TIP), to measure temperature changes and thermal profiles of concrete during curing. Heat generation and dissipation of early-age concrete is determined by the concrete mix, the ground conditions and the shape of the concrete structure. Any existing defects inside the concrete body will appear local temperature variations when compared to the expected heat generated during curing. The devised anomaly detection system combines early-age temperature monitoring data with finite element (FE) back-analyses and utilize the heat of hydration and heat transfer theory. The FE model can be customised for different pile designs and ground conditions. The predicted temperature profile from the numerical model of an as-designed pile is then compared to the field test temperature data. Any temperature discrepancies indicate potential anomalies of the pile structure. To quantitively evaluate the pile quality, the system then follows an investigative staged process to establish and assess anomalies in the problematic regions along the pile employing the combined use of FE simulations and generic evolution algorithms. These algorithms will be used to calibrate the cement hydration model and minimise the temperature discrepancies mentioned above. At each stage, more details can be revealed about the anomalies being investigated including, crucially, location, size and shape. This staged process enables practitioners to follow a risk-based approach and decide whether or not to pursue subsequent stages of construction depending on the results they get at the end of each stage.

Impact Through the collaboration with our industry partners, the method has already been implemented in the field. The field test results have shown this system can successfully detect anomalies of less than 10% cross-section area. The team will continue working with industrial partners on more field trials to verify the detectability in different field conditions. Researchers expect that this thermal integrity approach could potentially become a standard quality control approach in the industry within a few years. In the meantime, we have secured some additional funding from our industry partners to support us on further developing this research tool.

Title Monitoring axial shortening 
Description CSIC has developed a novel application of distributed fibre optic sensors (DFOS) to continuously measure the progressive axial shortening of reinforced concrete columns and walls during the construction of high-rise buildings. 
Type Of Material Improvements to research infrastructure 
Year Produced 2018 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact The data acquired to date provide the shortening time histories of the instrumented elements with unprecedented detail and at an unprecedented temporal density. This information has been used to demonstrate how an element's shortening is affected by its profile and stiffness, with smaller and less stiff elements shortening more. The continuous data also show that transient thermal effects can play a significant role in axial shortening, at times accounting for as much as 50 per cent of the total deformation. This is particularly significant as shortening predictions prior to construction do not take into account such thermal effects. CSIC's FO monitoring system also makes it possible to observe the effects of occasional and unexpected events - such as an incident of abrupt loading - which could not be observed with periodic or occasional measurements. 
 
Title Predictive Maintenance Model 
Description CSIC researchers have developed a methodology to help asset managers to determine the most optimal timing for interventions on their bridge portfolio in a predictive manner. As maintenance budgets for bridge systems are squeezed, many necessary maintenance activities are delayed or cancelled. Retaining an appropriate level of service and safety for an infrastructure network has become a challenging issue and there is pressing need for a smart asset management approach for road bridges. The structure of the overall approach is composed of five interconnected models: deterioration model; lifecycle cost model; predictive maintenance; group maintenance; and maintenance scheduling model (Figure 2). The deterioration model is formulated for each component of the bridges based on the information from the Structures Asset Management Planning Toolkit, general inspection, and other theoretical models. The predictability of the maintenance model enables proactive grouping of maintenance activities at different timings to reduce add-on costs such as the cost of preliminaries, traffic management and design. These add-on costs can be up to 80 per cent of the cost of repairs that are carried out at the same time. Finally, a designed to be meaningful and supports asset management planning and business case development for the asset owner, as well as the interface between the Structures Asset Management Toolkit and asset management systems to allow asset data input to be automated. The tool is designed to be used for any type of bridge from footbridges to motorway bridges. It has been tested and demonstrated using real industry data and dependencies and, constraints have been tested to enable scenario planning. To develop the CISC toolkit, data including deterioration rates and maintenance costs were extracted from the 2015 update of the Structures Asset Management Toolkit Documentation published by the Department for Transport. This data is different from the current version of the DfT Strcutures Asset Management Toolkit released in 2017. Therefore, it is difficult to compare the CSIC toolkit results against the DfT toolkit. The latest data are required in order to secure more accurate results and also validate the outcome of the CSIC toolkit. The available tools in the market have a time-dependent strategy based on experience. The CSIC tool is the first to provide a strategy based on data using a mathematical model to reduce the maintenance costs and improve the safety of bridges at the same time; the CSIC tool introduces a cost and safety dependent maintenance strategy. The tool can be used for a wide range of applications within the infrastructure sector. The next step is to make the tool adaptable for different types of assets such as tunnels, retaining walls, and earthworks. Our secondment programme offers benefits to all stakeholders. Secondees bring new skills, projects and challenges to CSIC that help to develop emerging tools and technologies for industry use. The secondees gain a deep understanding of innovations which they can apply for the direct benefit of their own companies/organisations.

Organisation Blue Mesh Solutions
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Private 
PI Contribution CSIC Investigator, Ajith Parlikad, will take part in a new Government-funded test project to investigate and maximise the benefits of 5G at the Port of Felixstowe. As part of a £28 million project to improve people's lives with the mobile network, the Port was chosen as one of nine pilots to test the potential of 5G in two forms; with the deployment of the Internet of Things sensors and artificial intelligence to optimise maintenance, and to enable CCTV transmission to remote-control the Port's 113 cranes. Working with Three UK, Blue Mesh Solutions, Ericsson and Siemens, the project will test the potential of 5G at the Port of Felixstowe. The project aims to test how Britain can seize the full benefits of 5G and help British industries capitalise on the power of modern technology. It will explore two use cases: enabling remote-controlled cranes via the transmission of CCTV; and deploying Internet of Things sensors and artificial intelligence to optimise the predicative maintenance cycle of Felixstowe's 31 quayside and 82 yard cranes. Harnessing the speed, low-latency and high-capacity of 5G, the project will demonstrate the productivity and efficiency gains of such technology, whilst reducing unplanned outage. Dr Ajith Parlikad, head of the Asset Management research group at the IfM, said: 'This is a fantastic opportunity to explore how we can bring together the advances in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), 5G, and advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to radically transform the way in which assets are managed and maintained in a complex industrial environment.'

PI Contribution CSIC, COWI and Arcadis jointly hosting an Achieving Net Zero Roundtable Discussion. The infrastructure and construction industry must take action now if we are to achieve net zero carbon by 2050. Some organisations have already publicly stated their commitment to achieve this even before 2050. However, the majority of organisations, although accepting the need to take up this challenge, do not know where to start. What can we as an industry do now to move towards the net zero goal and what changes in policy are needed to enable industry to reach this goal? This cross-government and industry roundtable event, organised by CSIC, Arcadis, and COWI, will address three initial questions. 1) What design and site measures can be adopted to reduce waste and move towards achieving net zero? How can existing data and digital tools be exploited to achieve this? 2) Given the climate emergency and government commitment to net zero by 2050, what changes to their procurement documents and processes can public sector, regulated industry and private sector clients make immediately? 3) What further actions can government ask of asset owners and project clients under existing powers? An action plan for each question will be developed for both individual organisations and at a systemic level.

Description Acoustic Emission Sensing 
Organisation Department of Transport
Department Highways Agency
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Public 
PI Contribution CSIC is working with industry partner Highways England and Kier Group to identify emerging sensing technologies and approaches for the structural assessment and deterioration detection of static highways assets. CSIC has been tasked with exploring the capabilities of acoustic emission (AE) sensing technology for the structural health monitoring of concrete bridges. The structural condition of motorway bridges is commonly monitored through periodic site inspections, which result in signi?cant cost and tra?c disruptions that may be hazardous to road users. Even if these inspections are enhanced by conventional crack monitoring or surveying methods, the underlying deterioration in critical structural members is hard to assess. A systems integration approach that brings together multi-sensing systems, ICT, computer vision technologies, cloud data management, statistics and big data analytics may o?er a better understanding of underlying deterioration and overall structural performance, enabling e?ective structural alert systems for asset management.
Collaborator Contribution As above.
Impact CSIC aims to create a cloud-based data platform for asset management through the creation and integration of numerous digital twins modelling infrastructure networks. Data curation, management, and sharing strategies play a vital role in preparing to meet this long-term vision. Real-time monitoring data from di?erent assets can be analysed and shared through well-de?ned and agreed protocols to make integrated and sustainable asset management practices possible. Interoperability, systems-of-systems perspective and sustainable decision-making would be the core of this platform. Securely sharing the appropriate information with the di?erent stakeholders enables overall digital twin integration, management and monitoring which would change the future of smart infrastructure management. The ?ndings and rich information that will be collected throughout the Highways England Systems Integration for Resilient Infrastructure project and the proposed cloud-based data platform may contribute towards the National Digital Twin programme. The Centre for Digital Built Britain's National Digital Twin programme aims to steer the successful development and adoption of the information management framework for the built environment, and to create an ecosystem of connected digital twins - which opens the opportunity to release value for society, the economy, business and the environment. CSIC's collaborative project with Highways England has potential to become one of many digital twins that would bene?t stakeholders from e?ective information management through cloud- based data platforms which will enable interoperability and data sharing between di?erent assets.

Description Asset management methodology to support organisational objectives 
Organisation Network Rail Ltd
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Private 
PI Contribution Organisations responsible for infrastructure assets must understand the importance that asset information has to achieving their organisational objectives. Despite the potential benefits of effective information management to optimise digital opportunity, many organisations still struggle to identify what information should be collected to support the efficient management of assets throughout their whole life. Asset-related information not collected in alignment to organisational requirements can restrict the performance of capital investment decisions, risk management and operational performance throughout the whole life of the asset and ultimately impact productivity. Standards such as the PAS 1192 series and ISO 19650 describe the approach that organisations should take to define their asset information requirements (AIR) and the asset information model (AIM). The AIR should be informed by the organisational information requirements (OIR), which in turn is defined based on organisation objectives. However, the standards do not prescribe how this should be achieved and what processes should be used. CSIC researchers have developed a top-down methodology that supports the development of AIR in relation to OIR and addresses the disconnect between the PAS/ISO BIM-related standards and asset management standard ISO 55000. The novel aspect of this approach is the development of Functional Information Requirements (FIR) to bridge the gap between the OIR and the AIR. This is achieved by identifying and understanding the 'functions' of the asset systems that help address or have an impact on the OIR, to then identify the assets that form each function.
Collaborator Contribution The methodology is currently being tested within industry as part of a CSIC secondment project with a member of the Asset Management Team from CSIC Industry Partner, Jacobs. The Asset Management Team is supporting Network Rail in delivering the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) - a major railway enhancement to improve connectivity between York and Manchester. TRU involves upgrading existing assets and installation of new assets to deliver a railway that will leave a lasting legacy. Exploring the benefits, challenges and opportunities of the methodology for Network Rail facilitates the longer-term possibility for a digital twin of the TRU, which would require whole-life data collection and management from the starting point of the programme and throughout design, construction, operation and integration. A wide range of Network Rail strategic documents were collated to identify organisational objectives. In order to reduce time required to read large volumes of text, an algorithm-based tool using datamining techniques was developed to search the text and identify locations of organisational objectives. More than 60 objectives were sense checked and put into the following categories: operational; reputational; customer; financial; environmental; and health and safety. For the purpose of testing the methodology within the secondment timeframe of four months, one organisational objective was selected: improve customer satisfaction. The top-down methodology creates a two-way line of sight from organisational objectives to asset requirements with functional requirements located between the two. A sample of FIR and AIR aligned to the identified organisational objective was captured. This approach helped deconstruct siloed structures familiar to many organisations and enables a systems perspective. A seven-step process provides a rigorous methodology and holistic approach capturing interfaces between asset disciplines and types - see the framework opposite. The methodology clarifies why an organisation needs specific asset information, which ensures data collected has a clear purpose making it possible to optimise value. Being able to classify data is particularly helpful in the context of the UK government's commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 making the carbon cost of data a consideration. It also enables classification and curation of data throughout the whole life of the asset, making data accessible to any asset manager and operator. Establishing a'golden thread'of valued information offers insight, it enables better decision-making and safeguards an organisation against the consequences of bad decisions.
Impact A series of workshops were organised for a number of senior Network Rail representatives to explore the methodology, test the framework and identify its value in relation to the TRU Programme and Network Rail. To ensure the framework's user accessibility and avoid the necessity of referring to spreadsheets of information, CSIC and Jacobs developed a web app streamlining the three-layer framework process. The web app helped record information requirements during the workshop and was developed with a view to being used throughout Network Rail's TRU upgrade programme, and potentially be applied to future projects and programmes. Feedback about the framework from attendees was very positive and recognised the added value and business case to Network Rail from curating data for future use and whole-life operation. Network Rail recognised the potential value of applying an information management framework to support organisational objectives. Key benefits of the framework Benefits of applying this methodology include: • Identifying gaps in information capture • Establishing line of sight from asset information to organisational objectives • Providing holistic process capturing interfaces between asset disciplines/types • Allowing better decision-making to optimise performance and manage risk throughout the whole life of the asset. In addition, two applications have been created as part of the secondment project which can be used by all collaborating partners - Jacobs, Network Rail and CSIC - on future projects. Our infrastructure assets are required to give service over a long period of time and existing assets form the greatest part of the UK's total infrastructure; each year in this country we add just 0.5 per cent to the capital value of the assets we have inherited1 . Having a line of sight from asset information to organisational objectives enables an organisation to be agile if circumstances, such as extreme weather events and the consequences of climate change, require organisational objectives to change.

Description Automating concrete construction: digital processes for whole-life sustainability and productivity 
Organisation University of Bath
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution CSIC Investigators are collaborating with colleagues from the Universities of Bath and Dundee to drive a new culture in the construction industry to improve whole-life sustainability and productivity. CSIC is a project partner and Director Dr Jennifer Schooling chairs the steering group. Automating Concrete Construction (ACORN) is one of four research and development projects funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund 'Transforming Construction'. The three-year project will address the core aims of the programme: designing and managing buildings through digitally enabled simulation and constructing quality buildings through offsite manufacturing approaches. ACORN aims to create a culture that takes a holistic approach to the manufacture, assembly, reuse and deconstruction of concrete buildings. This will lead to a healthier, safer built environment and a culture that is built on the concept of using enough material, and no more. The challenge Today, the widespread use of flat panel formwork for concrete leads to materially inefficient prismatic shapes for the beams, columns, and floor-slabs in buildings. This practice, which has been around since Roman times, is both architecturally constraining and a key driver behind the high embodied carbon emissions associated with concrete structures. As much as half of the concrete in a building could be saved, if only we approached the use of the material in a different way. Optimised concrete Concrete starts its life as a fluid and can therefore be used to form structures of almost any shape, given the right mould geometry. ACORN will capitalise on this material property to drive the minimisation of embodied carbon in new building structures. The team will create an end-to-end digital process to automate the manufacture of non-prismatic building elements, capitalising on the recent proliferation of affordable robotics and bring them into an industry ripe for a step-change in sustainability and productivity. Something as simple as allowing beams, columns and floor-slabs to have the shape they need to take load, rather than the shape they need to be easily formed, allows a complete rethink of the way material is used in buildings. Fabrication of concrete elements By moving the manufacture of structural concrete elements into a highly controlled factory environment, ACORN aims to ensure that buildings can become more sustainable and the construction industry more productive. Considerations such as the materials to be used, how reinforcement is placed efficiently, how to take into account whole-life value, and how to organise the design process to take advantage of the new possibilities of robotics, will all be considered within the sphere of the project. Demonstration building The key to transforming this conservative industry is to lead by example. One of the most exciting parts of the project, is the proposed construction of two bays of a full-size prototype office building, to be completed at the BRE Innovation Park in Watford. One bay will be left with an exposed structure to show the methods and techniques used in its manufacture, the other bay will be fitted-out as an office building, with roof, walls, façade and internal finishings, to show how the techniques translate into an architectural solution. The demonstration building will serve multiple purposes. On an academic level, it will contribute to the research agenda by acting as a living laboratory. Embedded sensors will collect and share useful live data about how the building is performing structurally, as well as what loads the different parts are carrying. The BRE Innovation Park is visited by 20,000 people annually and data will also be collected from those visitors in user surveys, to evaluate the new appearance. The building's eventual deconstruction will also be an opportunity to verify how the whole-life value drivers for automation perform in reality. Benefits The ACORN project is expected to produce a number of benefits. Reducing reliance on concrete will have a positive environmental effect - construction accounts for nearly half of the UK's carbon emissions and concrete alone for five per cent of global CO2 emissions. There is also huge cost-saving potential - ACORN's research has identified close to £4bn in cost savings for UK construction per annum, that would arise directly from better consideration of material use. Globally, a mere one per cent reduction in construction cost would save $100bn annually. ACORN's focus on automated manufacturing and digital processes to reduce both fabrication and build time are key parts in realising better value. The project will benefit from the contributions of 12 industry partners, including architects, engineers and building contractors, who will work alongside the ACORN team to ensure outputs will bring value to industry. The professions will also benefit with architects able to explore a new form of construction; engineers gaining insights into the real loads such structures have to carry during their lifetime; and contractors having the tools they need to increase quality control, productivity and fabrication time, while de-risking the construction site. ACORN is tackling the UK government's Construction 2025 targets head-on. By automating construction, moving it off-site, and developing a culture of using just enough material, and no more, the project will lower costs, reduce delivery times and dramatically reduce carbon emissions.

For instance, the provision of access to London Underground tube lines at 2am brings with it the need for 'sponsor' manpower as our teams need to be accompanied; and Staffordshire Alliance's support in facilitating the instrumentation of new bridges during construction required integration of CSIC researchers into the Alliance's staff teams for extended periods of time. This support is difficult to attribute a value to, but a nominal calculation of £1000 per man day dedicated to CSIC business has been used to provide a rough calculation.
Impact CSIC's Industry Partner Collaborations are multi-disciplinary, as they involve collaborative projects in areas as diverse as MEMS Vibrating Energy Harvesters, up to city-scale modelling work with government departments and bodies, such as the Future Cities Catapult.

Description CSIC RA Funding Project - Deep foundation automatic anomaly detection and visualisation system 
Organisation Arup Group
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Private 
PI Contribution The proposed research aims to develop an automated pile integrity interpretation framework that uses thermal distributed fibre optic (FO) methodology, finite element modelling and machine learning techniques. In the first and second stages, using a full-scale well controlled laboratorytest, the project will firstly develop a system to visualise the pile construction process using collected date and an effective interpretation method for assessing the structural integrity of the pile. Then, machine leaning techniques will be used to recognise the defect patterns within the pile to establish a rapid anomaly response system. An automatic defect detection prototype (software) will be developed at the end of the first stage which allows automatic defection including the location of the defect and its size using minimal human input. In the third stage, the project aims to study the complex strain and temperature coupling effect for early age concrete. The study outcomes will not only help to improve the capability of the anomaly detection system, but will enable the whole-life performance assessment of the concrete piles and hence a benchmark for pile re-use in future.

PI Contribution CSIC contributes cutting edge research into innovative solutions for construction efficiencies and structural health monitoring of existing national infrastructure assets, while developing tools and resources to enable and facilitate asset management as a value-based system at the network level, and leveraging impact into city planning policy. CSIC's evolving work with SMEs enables them to connect to markets where they never had contact before - CSIC was a good connectivity hub, helping them make contact with customers who are ready to purchase products and services. With Montec, we probably helped them put their innovation into perspective (particularly regarding the monitoring of ferrous, or ferrous-containing structures, which applies to most infrastructure assets as such). They were then able to focus on masonry structures which will help them further their business.
