The intersection of engineering, technology, and real-world challenges in the construction industry is often overlooked, yet it bears profound impact on project costs and overall efficiency. Advanced solutions such as predictive analytics, data visualization and remote sensing are no longer just industry jargon. In fact, they’re pivotal tools addressing critical issues such as water leakage detection in major construction projects.

By utilizing such high-tech applications, companies can now monitor their construction projects and sites in real time, obtain a holistic view of their project, and take strategic steps to mitigate risk, thus saving millions of dollars. David Simkins is the Director of Engineering and Technology at Polygon. He is also an expert navigating the interface of technology and practical problem-solving and shared some of his thoughts on the subject.

A lot of times, we are involved with a client more in a consultive role than we are saying. How many of these dehumidifiers or heaters do you need. One of the best examples I can give you is I was recently having a conversation with a client. And they shared with me their problem, which is forty two million dollars worth of water losses on their various projects in a year. Their question was, what can we do to help them detect water flow and leaks in these structures. It was a nice conversation to have with this client because we can apply all of this technology to a site and give them a single pane of glass of that different data, which then becomes actionable information for them to control and reduce that risk.
