Healthcare trust deploys digital twin to tackle RAAC and asbestos risks
AI Article Summary
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust has implemented a digital twin to manage risks across its 274,000 square metre hospital estate. This model, launched in October, consolidates data from six hospitals to address issues such as reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) and asbestos. The digital twin aims to enhance safety and efficiency in hospital estate management.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how digital twins can be leveraged to improve the management of hospital infrastructures. For Canadian builders, this means an opportunity to adopt similar technologies to enhance efficiency and safety in construction and maintenance. The use of these models could lead to better asset management, potentially reducing costs and minimizing risks associated with hazardous materials.
