To coincide with the Book of Cases book launch Lean Construction Ireland held it’s first National Conference in Croke Park last Tuesday, November 20th. With the theme of “Inspiring our Future in Construction” several keynote speakers and 8 streams enlightened us into the world of successful Lean Thinking in the Construction Industry. The streams ran simultaneously, 4 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon with the following headings:
Our own Rob Hughes gave a presentation entitled, “Closing the Gap – Engineering Site Services”
Rob Hughes – Closing the gap
Rob spoke about the benefits of having a Geo-Survey division within the Jones Engineering Group. A specialist division developed to look at improved data capture from site, and design implementation to site. He outlined many considerable gains and improvements, such as the integration of 3D Laser Scanning into the Jones Engineering portfolio – producing 3D point cloud data for both design and validation purposes.
As we said in LEAN Times 68, Jones Engineering sponsored keynote speaker, Rafael Sacks—Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Technion—Israel Institute of Technology. Professor Sacks is President of the International Group for Lean Construction which will hold it’s next annual conference in Dublin 1st to 7th July 2019.
