  1. Howard Wilner of Sudbury, MA Shares the Top Engineering & Construction Industry Trends to Look Forward To In 2021 2020 started on a bright note for the US engineering & construction industry, and then as we know COVID-19 hit resulting in some serious damage. However, we definitely have reasons to be optimistic in 2021 in spite of the challenges, says Howard Wilner of Sudbury, MA. According to him, the top engineering & construction industry trends which will impact this year are: Safety– While safety is always one of the major concerns, it definitely rises to the top of list in the challenging COVID-19 environment. Adjustments to control the spread of this deadly virus will include separation of workers & equipment, cleanliness protocols, etc. Also, anticipate smaller teams/crews & the use of staggered shifts for ensuring that the job sites aren’t too crowded. Living Materials– Development of living materials is one of the most exciting construction trends to look forward to in 2021. As these biological compounds can grow themselves, they are likely to move from interesting experiments to full- scale production very soon.

  2. Remote Technology–Howard Wilner of Sudbury, MA believes that most construction businesses will look forward to adopting remote technology in 2021. This will include everything from investing in UAVs (drones) to integrating digital software to enable improved work collaboration, more streamlined flow of information, and better safety standards. Cloud Based Design Technology– Adoption of cloud based technology will enable engineers to construct buildings in the virtual world before they are built in the real world. This would also help them find coordination issues, unaccounted for components, intricate connections, among other major areas to save cost.

  3. 3D Printing– According to Howard Wilner of Sudbury, MA, though 3D printing was expected to grow on a big scale in 2020, it went out of the picture because of the pandemic. Instead, modular and prefabrication construction got more popular. As 3D printing technology is a big nozzle laying concrete in vertical piles as per a pre-programmed design, it decreases the job site work and is likely to be a popular choice among businesses in 2021.
