The Smart MEP Summit Aims to Breathe Technology Into Construction

Doha, Qatar, January 26, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Experts believe that the technologies used in the GCC construction sector have to be largely consistent with the broader picture witnessed around the globe; the most significant one among them being the development of the Internet of Things (IoT).

This being said, Gulf Learning aims to further develop the usage of the available as well as upcoming technology in the Middle East through The Smart MEP Summit scheduled to be held on 2nd and 3rd May 2017, in Doha, Qatar. This summit brings into focus how the internet is changing the way in which buildings are constructed. With Internet of Things (IoT) being the front runner in helping the construction sector save time and costs, this summit aims to help those involved at every stage of construction understand how the internet can help solve problems having different levels of complexity.

Through Cloud Computing, Data Analytics, and the emerging field of Big data, builders and developers alike can benefit in terms of understanding the efficiency of their workforce as well as the effectiveness of their plan of action. With day to day activities analysed in minutes the organisation can plan its inventory to shift from the conventional methods of warehouse storage to Just in Time method thereby saving space as well as cost.

Building information modelling (BIM) is another area where a lot needs to be discovered. By connecting architects with builders and municipalities, these software’s save time on getting approvals for modified plans from the concerned bodies as well as help architects and contractors understand how effectively to go about construction of complex structures. The FIFA World Cup stadiums being constructed in Qatar are utilizing these software’s to minimize the time required in planning as well as managing resources and manpower.

Thus The Smart MEP Summit aims to uncover how technology can simplify the construction of even the most complex of structures from the outer framework to the wires and pipes that form the heart of any construction.
