In this session we hear from Wagners CEO Michael Kemp on their journey they undertook to develop a revolutionary and sustainable zero-cement concrete technology. Earth Friendly Concrete® is the only ultra-low carbon concrete that is proven across a range of commercial projects across Australia, the UK and Germany. In the session we hear the challenges that led to the product and the results of its application across major construction projects globally. 

In 2019, the CO2 emissions of the building and construction industry increased to their highest levels to date, representing 38% of global energy related CO2 emissions. As an industry that employs 7% of the world’s working age population the industry must take responsibility to reduce emissions and create a sustainable and net-zero future for everyone. In this session we discuss how construction companies can achieve a sustainable future without compromising their productivity. 

•      End-to-end project lifecycle management in one platform
•      Carbon calculation, simulation and reduction with 6D BIM
•      Carbon tracking and control with Data Analytics
•      Material suppliers qualification to minimize embodied carbon
•      Better decision making with connected and intelligent data

In this session, we bring together delegates in a series of 6 facilitated round table discussions, with leading industry experts. Join our 30-minute facilitated table discussion on a topic that most interests you and discuss the latest industry trends with likeminded individuals.

In this interesting case study, we hear about the innovation being applied to materials and Webuild’s TBMs on work in their worksites across Australia and worldwide as well as the environmental protection related to energy consumption and the reduction for those pieces of equipment.

In this closing Locknote Address we are honoured to hear from Menno de Jonge, in his new role as Director of Digital Delivery for Neom. Founded by the ruler of Saudi Arabia, Neom is the 26,500 Km2 Saudi Giga-Project of a planned city being built in north-west of the country, requiring a staggering 10,000 people to construct. It will incorporate smart city technologies and will function as an unrivalled futuristic and sustainable tourist destination. Menno will talk to the ambition of the project and how digital innovation is being applied across the design and build and across the materials used in the construction that will revolutionise the Future of Construction.
