Fruit of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Use of Technology in Civil Construction Can Elevate Productivity, Gains, and Competitiveness in the Sector.

Many expect that in 2021, the demand for civil construction will be resumed by the market and that by the end of 2021, we will have reversed the results of 2020 with gains and help from technology. The construction market did not stop completely, but we noticed a general setback in all sectors during this difficult period we have lived through.

The Power of Technology in Civil Construction

Technology in construction can be defined as the study and application of techniques, methods, and tools used in the civil construction industry. As this segment belongs to the field of engineering, it is natural that it is significantly influenced by inventions and technological innovations to boost gains.

Indeed, these innovations have enabled and continue to generate progress in construction. In general, technological evolution occurs in response to the quest for greater productivity and profits – goals of industries across all sectors.

Technology and the Increase in Gains

The use of technology is an essential factor for conferring efficiency to production activities in civil construction and increasing gains. In other words, technological innovations are important allies in reducing, or even eliminating, one of the sector’s biggest problems: waste.

The complexity and multidisciplinarity of projects in construction make it difficult to manage all types of resources – materials, human, financial – which can lead to great waste.

In addition to the more evident resources, time is another scarce item during the execution of projects, which tend to result in pressure on construction companies to deliver buildings within increasingly tight deadlines. Without support from technology, it becomes difficult to meet the goals, resulting in delivery delays, which are relatively common when it comes to civil construction.

According to studies, since the beginning of the 21st century, companies in this sector have been facing a moment of transition, evidenced by more demanding consumers, increased competition, and a lack of trust in organizations.

In this scenario, institutions need to prioritize the improvement of building quality, the rationalization (modernization) of processes, and innovation, which leads to the development of new products. Investing in technology is essential for these three aspects, as it enables the development and use of modern and innovative materials and processes.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

What once seemed like fiction is beginning to become doctrine: the soldier of the future is being equipped as a walking technological platform, with body sensors, augmented reality, and total integration into digital combat.

The Earth only had supermountains twice in 4.5 billion years, and during both times, life took a giant leap: first, visible organisms emerged, and then came the animals with skeletons during the Cambrian explosion.

The world has been generating 80% of electricity by boiling water for 200 years, but China has just turned on a machine that replaces steam with supercritical CO2 and promises to jump from 33% to 50% efficiency.

At a depth of 914 meters, a team accidentally discovers a pirate ship with cannons, a telescope, and objects from three continents on the seabed, uncovering a mystery that has haunted Europe for centuries.

Brazilian producers are leaving Roraima to plant in Guyana, where the government offers land on concession and does not charge taxes, while in Brazil the harvest faces high interest rates and a bureaucracy that hinders even the use of the rivers.

Thicker walls become a thermal solution in Brazil by reducing internal heat by up to 30% without air conditioning, using thermal inertia, double walls with air, adobe, and roofs that can cut heating by up to 10°C.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

Venice is at real risk of disappearing under the sea by 2300, and scientists reveal 4 radical solutions ranging from billion-euro projects of up to €100 billion to the extreme decision to abandon the historic city forever.

Shotcrete replaces manual plastering, can double or even triple productivity on site, and delivers more uniform walls; this industrialized technique has been gaining ground precisely where there is a lack of skilled labor.

Common tiles may be on borrowed time because a new European technology transforms the roof itself into a solar power plant without the need for traditional panels that sit on top and spoil the house’s appearance.
