The webinar will be for 90-minutes and will include presentations and a panel discussion. It will focus on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its quick rise in addressing the challenges of a changing built environment.

To meet the demands of a growing and increasingly urban population, there is a need to transform aging infrastructure—roads, bridges, sanitation systems, and more—and build massive new projects. And all of these systems (new and existing) will need to be resilient enough for a rapidly changing climate. 

To respond to these challenges, there will be a need to do MORE, do it BETTER, and do it all with much, much LESS. How will civil infrastructure live up to that challenge? It begins with connected BIM—the development and deployment of cloud-based Building Information Modelling that will allow civil infrastructure to be built for full-scale digitalization. 

This webinar focuses on: 

• Adapting to the changing built environment
• Digitalizing infrastructure in corporate strategy
• Empowering teams to build bolder
• Delivering better business results with BIM
• Empowering decision-makers through Digital Twin 

The event is targeted at experts from leading transport authorities/agencies, ministries, and government departments, Architecture Engineering Construction (AEC) Firms, EPC and civil Contractors, Consulting Firms, Leasing and finance Companies, Technology Providers- BIM, Cloud, Automation, Geospatial, etc., system integrators, technology platform suppliers, regulatory organizations, R&D institutes, and academic institutions.

26. Seminar New material technology, potential application in construction.

On July 31, 2018, in Haiphong, the Center for Advanced Application of Science and Technology held a seminar titled "New material technology, potential application in construction". The seminar attracted many construction companies; construction materials manufacturing and trading enterprises and related units in the construction industry attended. At the conference, the delegates were introduced to potential solutions to anti-corrosion reinforcement with FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) composite bars. FRP bars are used as reinforcement in concrete structures, coastal and island constructions subject to the impacts of sea water environment, construction works with special requirements (high voltage pylons, national defence, foundation works, pile foundations, wharfs, breakwaters...). Institute of Applied Physics and Scientific Equipment introduced inorganic unburnt bricks, organic unburnt bricks using raw materials, agricultural by-products and polymer fiber reinforced materials. This is a new direction to replace traditional fired bricks, which are currently recommended to limit their use because of their serious impact on the environment and land resources in the production process.

29. National conference on municipal and industrial waste treatment technology

On March 28, 2009, in Hanoi, the Ministry of Construction and the Vietnam Association of Urban Environment and Industrial Parks coordinated to organize a National Workshop on technology for treating urban and industrial wastes. Attending the workshop were nearly 600 delegates from ministries, branches, People's Committees and Departments of Construction, Natural Resources and Environment of provinces and cities, scientific organizations, associations, and environmental businesses throughout the country.

The workshop discussed enthusiastically the issues of environmental pollution, especially the problem of waste and wastewater. The old drainage system was built many years ago and was shared for both storm water and wastewater. Most of the wastewater is not treated before being discharged to the receiving water source. The workshop focused on introducing basic information on wastewater and waste management planning, investment programs in waste treatment plants applying domestic technology, urban waste treatment technologies and industrial areas. Although the environmental industry in the country is still young, the efforts of businesses and scientists in researching and applying technology suitable to Vietnamese conditions to treat waste and wastewater are worthy of social recognition. A number of waste treatment technologies have been supported by the Ministry of Construction in research, appraisal and recognition by the Ministry of Construction.

From the results of this workshop, the Ministry of Construction will work with localities to support and promote the research, completion and replication of waste treatment technology models, contributing to the formation of an environmental industry in the future.
