Recognition and value
Bryden Wood won the Best Application of Technology category for its automated cable routing (ARC) management system, which has generated significant time savings for Transport for London (TfL). Giuseppe Miccoli, associate in Bryden Wood’s Creative Technologies team, said: “Winning the award opened new avenues for potential work in other areas of transport infrastructure to build on our existing experience for highways, network rail and TfL.
"The knowledge acquired during the ARC project contributed to the development of innovative automation processes for other infrastructure projects, allowing us to investigate further how the use of data-driven decisions can create better designs.”
David Mithcell is CEO and founder of XYZ Reality, the developer of the Atom augmented reality helmet that won the Digital Innovation in On-site Productivity category. He said: “As a tech start-up finding our feet within the industry, we were thrilled to be recognised among many great long-standing companies within the ConTech space. Since winning the award, we’ve been inundated with industry interest about how engineering grade augmented reality can reduce rework.”
A hug from the industry
Emma Hooper, associate director, head of R&D at Bond Bryan Digital, was named the Digital Construction Champion of the Year. She said: “Winning the award has genuinely meant the world to me, far more than I could ever put into words. Even now I still can’t quite believe it. Having my work recognised among the industry and my peers – and it being of value – there is nothing more I could ever ask for.
“When I have times where I doubt myself and my ideas and I when I think no-one is listening, I think about the award and the people who put their faith in me, and that helps give me the confidence I need to push a bit harder. If I could sum it up in my own way, it is like having a hug from industry.”
