Construction’s covid-19 recovery should seek to "harness data, AI and digital twins", says the Atkins CEO for UK and Europe, Richard Robinson.
In Atkins' latest Infrastructure Insights report, which surveyed nearly 400 public and private sector industry leaders, Robinson said: "The report asks what more the private sector can do to aid recovery… and highlights the importance of digital innovation in accelerating projects and ensuring that we build back smarter as well as better.”
The former HS2 chief operating officer, who joined Atkins in October 2019, added: "For me, this represents an incredible opportunity for our industry to help shape the UK’s recovery by harnessing data, AI and digital twins to give us greater certainty when delivering projects. It’s no secret that we need to transform how we design and build to improve productivity and offer greater predictability – the evidence is there for all to see when projects are delayed or costs spiral.
