jobsite for a while is construction software solutions—but it is continuing to evolve, which makes it another appealing trend for workers in the field. From having building information modeling (BIM) software to construction management software, these solutions help increase collaboration within the project team at the jobsite by connecting everyone involved and having a digital platform to make changes and update information instead of having to pass paper among everyone. Software is evolving too, with the advent of new technologies. Gartner predicts artificial intelligence (AI) technologies will be in almost every new software product by 2020. Adding AI to construction software will provide contractors with more options on the jobsite. Construction software is a tool for contractors at the jobsite, helping in a number of ways. “It is increasing the available workforce by making jobs easier to do and helping that new operator become more proficient quickly,” Tobias of Caterpillar says. Augmented and Virtual Reality Visualizing the finished project can be challenging. With augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) that has changed. This technology provides insights into the project for contractors at the jobsite. Head-up displays are gaining in popularity, which incorporates AR and VR technologies. Instructions, along with the other necessary details, can be displayed in the
line of sight. A number of contractors are readily embracing AR and VR technologies for predicting potential problems such as walls not matching up. Going forward, there will be a lot of innovations for the construction industry that will arise from that growth. For instance, smart glasses have been the hardware of choice for many using AR on the jobsite. “Glasses can be also used by construction firms for various AR use cases as well, such as viewing 3D digital models of proposed projects with timeline animation to show the planned progress of the construction,” Leyva of Epson America says. What’s Next? As new solutions emerge—not only on the jobsite, but everywhere in construction—they are sparking many new opportunities. This rise of new digital industrial technology, also known as Industry 4.0, is the fourth industrial revolution. The Industry 4.0 is the grouping of numerous major innovations in digital technology and refers to development of machines, which would be using self-optimization, self-configuration, and artificial intelligence to complete difficult tasks to deliver cost efficiencies and better-quality goods or services. We will see Industry 4.0 becoming more common at the jobsite. As these technologies are embraced and adopted by the industry, they will bring about a new level of productivity, safety, and collaboration. b Source: AEM.org

Structurlam Earns SFI ChainOf-Custody Certification The Sustainable Forestry Initiative Inc. (SFI) announced today that Structurlam is the first Canadian manufacturer of cross-laminated timber (CLT) to be certified to the SFI 2015-2019 Chain-of-Custody Standard. Structurlam blends the expertise of wood science with the ingenuity of European fabrication to produce mass timber products including CLT, the next-generation of engineered wood products. Structurlam has manufactured CLT for six years and supplied the product to over 350 projects in North America. Extensively tested, the product has vast applications for construction. “We are excited that Structurlam is the first CLT manufacturer in Canada to be certified to the SFI Chain of Custody Standard. A few months ago I had the opportunity to visit Structurlam’s site and was impressed with their commitment to sustainability and the innovation driving their product development. Many of Structurlam’s suppliers manage forestlands certified to SFI so it is great to know that Structurlam will continue to source and build with SFI certified materials,” said Kathy Abusow, President and CEO of SFI Inc. Architects and builders choose wood because it looks great, has numerous environmental characteristics – including renewability – and it’s easy to work with. In addition, trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, sequestering and storing the carbon while producing oxygen which
reduces greenhouse gases and improves air quality. “Wood is the only renewable building resource we have. If we sustainably manage the forest then we’ll have unlimited materials to create beautiful buildings that can potentially last for generations,” said Bill Downing, President of Structurlam. “We’re looking forward to leveraging our SFI chainof-custody certification to expand into new markets.” Structurlam produces CLT at its Penticton facility in Southern BC’s Okanagan region. The company is part of a global movement to use wood in mid- and highrise buildings. Advances in technology are producing more engineered-wood and mass timber products that increase the capabilities of building with wood. A showcase project for Structurlam is the University of British Columbia’s Brock Commons. This 18-storey student residence stands 53 metres tall and is the tallest wood structure in the world. The mass timber structure was completed in just 66 days. Over 460 CrossLam CLT panels were used during the building process along with over 1,300 Glulam columns, a structural timber product manufactured by gluing together individual pieces of lumber. Structurlam will also be able to use chain-of-custody certification to position itself as a supplier in the green building market that is officially recognized by green building rating systems.

tified under the SFI Chainof-Custody Standard allow CrossLam CLT to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credits through the LEED Alternative Compliance Path or credits through the Green Globes Rating System. Structurlam’s products are also ideal for smaller projects. The Zangari Residence in Seattle used 67 prefabricated CrossLam CLT panels, which were delivered and installed in 12 days. It was designed by Susan Jones for her family. She is Principal Architect at
the architecture firm atelierjones. “When you walk inside a building that features wood you get a feeling of relaxation — the smell of the wood, wood on floors and ceilings, all very much integrated with nature. We wanted our home to be an example of how to build lightly with wood in a sustainable way in the city and still capture the fundamental connection with nature that people instinctively have,” Jones said. b Source: SFI
