President’s Message

Construction plays a vital role in supporting economies for healthy societies. From infrastructure projects that keep people and goods moving safely to business, commercial, institutional and residential buildings that provide for essential community needs, the construction industry is relied upon for moving civilisation forward.

Today, the construction industry is in the midst of a disruptive revolution that changes how work is done, how construction professionals’ skills are developed, and how customers interact with construction organisations. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by a fusion of technologies that is bringing together physical, digital and biological spheres, collectively referred to as网络物理系统，已经带来了数字构建的出现 - 通过数字解决方案改善了建筑运营和流程。数字构建包括许多事物，例如整个施工站点的3D数字建模以及可视化端到端施工项目工作流程。这种演变使行业能够更加高效，富有成效和准确，同时也提高了安全性。

When constructing the world’s largest tunnel connecting Germany and Denmark, the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link, efficiency gains are key to stay on track and budget. Danish construction company Holbøll A/S is using digital machine control solutions on its dozers and excavators to build slopes for the project. The company has experienced significant time savings as the operators are able to move more dirt in less time while reducing rework.

An excavation project in the heart of the Amazon on the Madeira River provided operators zero visibility for the removal of submerged cofferdam material. By creating a 3D digital model of the under-water environment with machine control technology, the Brazilian construction company Grupo Toni-olo was able to remove the material on the first try and avoid the dangers of sending employees into the unknown site.

193公里的高速公路项目与中国两个主要城市和刘库（Liuzhou）之间是该国第一个使用3D铺路技术的公路项目。广西路和桥梁工程小组认识到有必要从弦乐线和使用数字解决方案中提升，以更好地保护工人，减少项目交付时间并提高平滑度质量。

As a core focus, Hexagon provides the means for digitalising construction. Our construction solutions integrate data to create seamless workflows and make entire projects safer and more efficient due to increased productivity through greater integration of technologies. We deliver a construction information management system that empowers executives with top-down visibility, control and management while connecting professionals in the field seamlessly and simply to the day-to-day tasks.
