Featured Project: East African Crude Oil Pipeline Project

Uganda – PPA 20329

Description
Construction of a heated, 1.445km-long, 24-inch diameter crude oil pipeline between Uganda and Tanzania which is expected to start pumping Ugandan oil to international markets in three years which is part of the East African Pipeline Project. The oil pipeline would start in Buseruka sub-county, Hoima District, in Uganda’s Western Region. It would travel in a general southeasterly direction to pass through Masaka in Uganda, Bukoba in Tanzania, loop around the southern shores of Lake Victoria, continue through Shinyanga and Siginda, to end in Tanga, Tanzania. This pipeline will be the longest electrically heated crude oil pipeline in the world and will be heated so it can keep highly viscous crude oil liquid enough to flow. Estimated project value : $3.55 billion. Approximate : GPS Coordinates : -1.236979, 31.671879999999987

How Wind Turbines Work

Modern wind turbines take advantage of the latest technology to capture energy from moving air and convert it to electricity.

Wind turbines need to be carefully placed across a site to harness as much energy as possible. To choose the best possible layout, planners must analyse the wind conditions of the landscape. Like the wings of an aeroplane, wind turbine blades exert a force which disrupts the airflow. Bigger, longer blades are able to capture more energy.

To harness the strong winds found offshore, tremendous engineering challenges are being overcome. Machinery needs to be protected from the corrosive salt water of the sea. New designs are being made for deeper water conditions and specialised ships are assembling the wind turbines. Electricity substations are built offshore and power lines are installed underwater to carry the electricity from offshore wind turbines to the national grid onshore.

Improved technologies are allowing operation and maintenance to take place regardless of the weather conditions.

The Metaverse and the Building Industry

What is the Metaverse?

We currently consume the internet predominantly in 2D forms like mobile devices, PCs, TVs, wearables and other connected devices.

The “metaverse” is essentially the next, 3D version of the internet, a virtual universe that can be experienced like the real world. Technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and their developing successors extended reality (XR), NFTs, AI, 3D design, holography, IoT, 5G and 6G, cloud and edge tech assemble to make up the metaverse.

Leading metaverse companies in 2022 include Meta, Roblox, Microsoft, The Sandbox, Nike, Google, Amazon, Snapchat, Apple and Autodesk. Games like Fortnight and Minecraft have also incorporated some parts of the Metaverse giving us a brief idea of what it will look like in future.

Metaverse Practicality

Global revenue opportunity in the metaverse is set to reach as much as $800 billion by 2024 alone according to Bloomberg.

The Metaverse has the potential to revolutionise almost every industry with major implications for how we collaborate and work together. Key players benefitting from and creating this world will be those in the Architecture, Engineering, Building, Construction and Property industries. Examples include city co-development and co-design, as seen in Singapore, or enhanced city development initiated by the University of Pretoria.

Some of the workflows that have already been impacted by using VR and AR and will be significantly impacted in the future include:

  • Remote Collaboration
  • Planning & Design
  • BIM Coordination
  • Analytics
  • Forecasting
  • Simulations
  • Finalising
  • Presentations

Using digital tools like CAD and BIM is not something new to construction and although simple 3D models could take hours of detailed manual input, 3D modelling remains very efficient and productive while also aiding in the ability to analyse environmental changes

In addition, virtual construction sites can also remain structurally sound and protected from natural causes in contrast to their real-world counterparts. There are no restrictive physical laws like zoning and also an endless supply of resources. The possibilities are essentially endless for those wanting to unleash their creativity plus people and businesses are already willing to pay large amounts for land in metaverse so theirs a lot of potential to make money.

Metaverse Hurdles

One of the biggest hurdles the Metaverse has to overcome is data privacy and security, can this be overcome? Only time will tell. Some others also include:

Conclusion

Professionals in the Building and Construction and related industries will be at the fore of metaverse and digital twinning adoption using immersive models to present their concepts to developers/owners/investors. Potential clients will have the ability to walk through virtual representations of their real-world physical system to understand all the design aspects and increase overall efficiency in the building processes. In addition, Virtual real estate will relate to large investments and the potential for even larger profits. Digitally these virtual sites will need development and the same professionals we employ on physical construction sites will be required to build and design a virtual dream home, office, mall, hospital or stadium.

The metaverse will open a world of possibilities for the built environment changing the way projects are developed from conceptual to completion. This will include cultivating new skills and perspectives on both 3D and Digital technology which will lead to new job opportunities for professionals. What could go wrong?
