How digital tools are transforming the delivery of HS2 Major infrastructure projects are fraught with complexities, with concerns over cost, timescales and carbon – to name a few. Could the application of digital engineering help to improve efficiency and sustainability across these projects? Ian Risk, chief technical officer at the Centre for Modelling & Simulation (CFMS) – a Bristol-based digital engineering research organisation – certainly thinks so. CFMS can generate thousands of design options and a selection of optimised solutions for a construction project by incorporating a range of digital engineering services. These include modelling and simulation, cloud technologies and artificial intelligence. Asset performance insight
