Insights The Future of Digital Transformation in Engineering in the Middle East

The Middle East is a region that has experienced enormous economic and technological growth in the last few years. With a population of over 200 million and booming construction and infrastructure sectors, the future of digital transformation in engineering in the Middle East is exciting and ever-changing. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace and is changing the way we live, work, and communicate. We will explore the future of digital transformation in engineering in the Middle East and how the AtkinsRéalis Group, and its businesses Atkins and Faithful+Gould are leading the way.


Digital Twin 

The Digital Twin technology is revolutionizing engineering in the Middle East. By creating a digital replica of physical assets, engineers can simulate, analyze, and optimize various scenarios in real-time. This improves infrastructure development, reduces costs, and enhances sustainability. With the potential for safer and more efficient outcomes, the Digital Twin Framework offers a globally recognized best practice approach for clients. The transformative potential of digital twin technology is being realized in Lava Labs facilities worldwide, driving innovation and a sustainable future.


Building Information Modeling (BIM) Analytics and Simulation

BIM analytics and simulation transform Middle East engineering with digital project representation, real-time collaboration, and data sharing. AtkinsRéalis Group leads in managing large BIM projects, optimizing performance, efficiency, and sustainability. BIM revolutionizes design, construction, and operations, ensuring enduring results and cost savings. Our tools enable sequencing, cost, carbon analysis, and clash management for smarter design decisions.


Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is also transforming engineering in the Middle East. AI is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems.  It enables the processing of large data sets, accurate predictions, and improved project management. The Design Production Manager tool leverages AI to track progress, identify risks, and optimize schedules and resources. With additional modules for insights and alerts, as well as sequence optimization, the tool provides complete project visibility and improved collaboration. This showcases the transformative potential of AI in the engineering sector. 


Cybersecurity

As digital transformation continues to accelerate in engineering, it's important to ensure the safety and security of all the systems and data. With the increased use of connected devices, the risk of cyberattacks has risen significantly. To tackle this issue, we have implemented robust cybersecurity measures across all operations. Our cybersecurity practices and policies are in line with international standards, and we use cutting-edge technologies to protect our customers, employees, and resources.
