One of the most important developments in the world of ‘PropTech’ over the last few years has been that of building information modelling (BIM).
The technology essentially facilitates architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals to create and use an intelligent 3D model to gain valuable insight into how a building project can be better planned, designed and managed.

The new HM400-3 articulated dump truck (ADT) from Komatsu can carry a full 40 tonnes and features a host of new technology in the drivetrain and in the cab. Its 353kW engine is fitted with a diesel particulate filter with computer-controlled regeneration so that no operator input is required. A computerised Transmission Control System replaces the need for limited slip differentials in the transmission as it activates the multi wet disc foundation brakes in any wheel that starts to spin. Furthermore, the s

The trial of a novel compound at a site in Chile has shown how structural improvements can be achieved for dirt road applications
Although the Barrick Gold Pascua Lama operation is a surface mining site, the experience with this technology is equally applicable for use on haul roads in large quarries or for dirt roads expected to carry heavy loads. This is of particular importance for transport in remote areas where large loads such as pre-cast bridge sections or girders for example may have to be carrie
