Big Data in Engineering Project Management – The Importance and Benefits of Data Analysis in Civil Construction

In civil construction and engineering, as in other sectors, Big Data refers to the enormous amounts of information that have been stored in the past and continue to be acquired today. Big Data can come from people, computers, machines, sensors, and any other device or data-generating agent.

The Value of Data in Engineering and Civil Construction

Artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and BIM. All these major technological trends have revolutionized the civil construction market and share a common background: Big Data. This is because they rely on data to generate information that brings more security, transparency, and efficiency to engineering and construction processes – from the office to the construction site.

Therefore, creating well-established processes to collect, store, and utilize data strategically in engineering and civil construction is the first step to keep up with technological trends and market transformations. Furthermore, incorporating Big Data analysis into project management is crucial to prepare companies in the civil construction sector for the future and ensure they remain competitive in the market.

Thus, it is of little use, for example, to invest in BIM platforms and artificial intelligence tools if your engineering company does not have the necessary information to make those technologies reach their full potential.

Why Can Big Data Be Useful in Civil Construction?

Civil construction is one of the main economic activities in Brazil, but it could achieve much better results if waste were reduced and productivity increased.

Common problems in the sector, such as material waste, project delays, and budget mismanagement, can be solved using technology. Data can help managers find the root of the problems and make more accurate decisions.

If done manually, analyses can be time-consuming and unproductive, but with the use of software and analytics tools, it is possible to use them intelligently.

Why Can Big Data Be Useful in Civil Construction?

Is a smart plug worth it in a regular home? What does it offer: turns on and off via smartphone, creates routines by schedule, prevents forgotten devices, sometimes monitors consumption, and improves habits without renovation or miracles.

Geographers redefine the Brazilian relief and confirm the presence of mountains in 14 states with a new system that changes historical criteria and alters the way the territory is classified.

Archaeologists have discovered a colossal submerged wall in the Atlantic, dating back 7,000 years and weighing 3,300 tons, regarded as the largest prehistoric submerged structure ever found in France.

There is a city in China right next to Hong Kong where people speak Portuguese, the streets have names in Portuguese, and the architecture looks like it came straight out of a historic city in Brazil.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

Robot that climbs açaí trees in Pará cuts bunches with a remote control, reduces accidents for harvesters, and promises to harvest 10 times more, reaching 1,000 kg per day, costing R$ 21,000 with subsidized PRONAF.

Scientists have discovered for the first time a gigantic cave hidden beneath a volcano on Venus, nearly a kilometer wide and 375 meters high, using radar images that had been forgotten for over 30 years.

Two years after the floods, Rio Grande do Sul still has ghost villages, uprooted houses, and families in containers with sewage; unfulfilled promises without official response and donations become the last chance to start over.

With around 6,000 residents on a single 9 km street, a village in Poland maintains a strong sense of community, cultivates strawberries and potatoes, and becomes the target of a false image created by artificial intelligence.

A simple technique of wetting the brick before laying it prevents cracks, improves the adhesion of the mortar, reduces fissures, and ensures stronger walls and more durable constructions.

The government opens the vault and deposits R$ 2.6 billion for the construction of Brazil’s first underwater tunnel, with a length of 1.5 km, 870 m under the sea, a total project cost of R$ 6.8 billion, and a 30-year concession.

Only 46 meters remain for Brazil and Paraguay to connect via the Bioceanic Route bridge, the project that will link the Atlantic to the Pacific by land and change the logistical map of four countries in South America.

The bridge that holds the largest stone railway arch in the world: built over 100 years ago, destroyed in the war, and rebuilt to continue operating to this day, it still carries trains over the Soča River in Slovenia.

Italian giant of 130 tons arrives at the Senna Tower construction site and accelerates foundations: Mite CFA 3436 drills up to 50 m, 750 hp engine, investment of R$ 20 million, unique in Latin America.
