Digital is ubiquitous. It is no longer a special, intangible thing reserved for people with digital or BIM in their job title. We are all to a greater or lesser extent digitally enabled. The Constructing Excellence Digital Group has moved from being about BIM to Digital Construction to now looking at the implementation of digital in all its forms into construction and the built environment.   Join us on Thursday 19th September for a session on the Innovate UK funded 5G CONQuEST Project. The 5G CONQuEST Project is an Innovate UK funded project that aims to provide low Carbon, flexible, secure, high speed, private 5G coverage for construction sites. The project is being undertaken by Glideology, BAM, BRE, Leading Edge Power and Attocore. They have developed a 5G mast which is easy and safe to deploy, with no working at height required, and can be re-located and moved around the site, though it’s location is linked to the 5G licence. The mast can be powered locally and off-grid. This event provides Constructing Excellence National members with CPD in partnership with BRE Academy.
