GEOtechnical deRisk by Genetic Inverse Analysis

ended

Mainly funded by taxpayers' money, the construction industry has a poor track record in sustainability, efficiency and safety, which are in many cases linked to the lack of understanding of ground behaviour. The construction industry is responsible for 11% of global carbon emissions from construction embodied carbon, 9 out of 10 projects experience cost overruns (+45% of project cost) and 60,000 fatal accidents in construction yearly. Geotechnical uncertainty translates to over-designs, unforeseen events, and impacts overall safety. GEORGIA responds to the opportunity to reshape the Capital Infrastructure and Large Building Projects market by introducing and consolidating the concept of interactive design. GEORGIA will enhance the development and commercialization of DAARWIN as the pioneer end-to-end digital platform based on Adaptive Genetic Algorithm to address the ground uncertainty problem and reduce carbon footprint, cost overruns and increase the safety of construction projects.
