- The Centre for Advanced Technologies in Mechanics (CATMech) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is involved in a project to explore additive manufacturing technology with concrete to provide innovative solutions to the construction market. The project, called ADRIANO, aims to develop a real-time control system for the concrete manufacturing process, to estimate the expected outcome and anticipate decision-making on its various stages.
- The Centre for Sensors, Instruments and Systems Development (CD6) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in the development of a smart assistant device that, by combining building information modelling (BIM) with augmented reality and virtual reality technologies, provides a comprehensive tool at each stage of the construction life cycle.
- The Construction Research and Innovation Group (GRIC) at the UPC is driving the N2B2 project to develop new technology so that heating and air conditioning can be turned on and off via predictive control.
- The protection of infrastructures is a commercial and environmental challenge as it enables the useful life of these elements to be lengthened and avoids the early generation of residues.
- Researchers at the Centre for Land Valuation Policy (CPSV), from the research group Quality of Urban Life: Innovation, Sustainability and Social Engagement (QURBIS) at the UPC, have participated in the design of the theoretical model of the Building Renovation Passport based on BIM and Blockchain for the public administration.
- Currently, buildings are becoming smart organisms due to a wide range of distributed sensors and software programmes that provide them with a certain degree of intelligence. In this context, SUST(AI)N emerged. Participants in this project include researchers from the Instrumentation, Sensors and Interfaces Group (ISI) and the Components and Systems for Communications Research Group (CSC) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC).
- Researchers in the Polymer Materials and Textile Chemistry (POLQUITEX) research group of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) participate in the WAVE project, who aim is to recycle elastomeric waste (such as tyres and scraps from building roofs), for its subsequent reuse and recovery in various industrial sectors (automobile, civil, electrical).
- The Motion Control and Industrial Applications Centre (MCIA UPC) is taking part in the POWERTWIN project, led by Smartech Cluster. The aim is to develop, through […]
- The use of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) is a significant advance for the construction industry, in the industrial sector and in underground or prefabricated construction. In most […]
- The REARQ research group is participating in “Revive the rooftops” (REV-TER), a project whose aim is to improve the quality of life of communities and people who live […]
- The research centre Centre for Land Policy and Valuations (CER-CPSV) is participating in the X-ClimPlan project. The project aims to develop a tool that significantly improves […]
- The Construction Engineering (EC) Research Group of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) is participating in the NEUROCRETE project.
- El Centre de Desenvolupament, Instrumentació i Sensors (CD6) de la UPC participa en la construcció de l’Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), impulsat per l’European Southern Observatory (ESO). L'ELT serà el telescopi terrestre òptic i infraroig proper més gran del món.
