AtkinsRéalis’s Virtual Site Access won the Best Application of Technology, sponsored by u003ca href=u0022https://www.digitalconstructionnorth.com/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eDigital Construction Northu003c/au003e, at the Digital Construction Awards last night (2 July).
In the nuclear industry, sites are predominantly situated away from areas of high population and therefore effective transport links. This, when combined with the necessary security restrictions (training, clearance), makes accessing these sites difficult.
Added to these site access issues are the inherent risks of the nature of the sites, both conventional and radiological. Furthermore, data security and information assurance also restrict people from being able to visualise the site. Therefore, a considerable number of people working in construction design are limited in their understanding of the configuration and constraints that will affect the decisions they make.
