According to Mr Roivio, the use of digitalisation during construction is going to increase: “Digital twins utilise in-service information also with respect to the status and condition of recyclable parts. A building part that has had good care and less strain often has both service life and usage value to spare. Smart components in structures are increasing: we, too, have a roof sensor on the way that will relate the condition of loading on the roof. This way, for example, snow load removals can be optimised. Extra sensors can easily be added to the system to monitor, for example, the moisture history of building shell structures.”
Especially in redevelopments and recycling, the popularity of steel is surely set to grow in the years to come. "In building design, total service life costs will be taken into consideration more and more, and this will inevitably increase the competitive capability of steel products.”
