The DigiBygg project aims to achieve fast and cost-effective production of detailed digital building models, which will promote broader adoption of digital processes in the building sector. Digital transformation within the building sector Buildings are the single largest consumer of energy in Europe...
...surgeons with a visualization and navigation tool that can improve clinical decision-making and reduce the risk of surgical complications in cancer surgery. Surgical interventions are complex procedures involving a comprehensive team of healthcare professionals both before, during and after the surgery itself...
...indicated that cables in the future HVDC transmission grids for electric energy in the North Sea and other places may be subjected to temporary overvoltages significantly different in duration, amplitude, and waveform from what is currently observed. As these cables, like all other electrical power components...
...this by enabling personnel and AI-based systems to collaborate in identifying and learning from unwanted situations at the apron area of airports. 243,000 people are injured each year in accidents and incidents at the apron area at airports – which is where the airplanes park and the busiest area of an...
This project will provide knowledge and propose concrete and targeted preventive measures for reducing the risk of serious occupational accidents and work-related absences in the coastal fishing fleet. The fishing industry has long traditions in Norway and stands for a lot of value creation, but for...
...environment (Technology readiness level - TRL 5) The proposed technologies have been already validated at lab scale (TRL 3) in previous EU, national and international projects. We aim to bring them to TRL 5 by the end of the project. Impact The V-Access project will enhance the development of innovative...
...material and a corresponding production process for automated industrial production of components for a patented type of fire stopping vents for buildings. Securo AS develops and produces vents (ventilation grilles) with a patented passive mechanism which blocks the spread of flames, heat and embers with...
...production that can handle a wider range of bauxite than the existing process. The process will minimise the environmental impact of bauxite mining and alumina production. Global aluminium metal consumption is expected to grow during the coming years. Aluminium metal is produced through electrolysis...
...project is based on three pillars: a broad and technically-advanced modelling portfolio; specific evaluation of the technology pathways; and active stakeholder dialogue and dissemination. A key concern, however, is the uncertainty in how the future will develop, and whether we can adequately guide technology...
The Norwegian Aluminium Industry is technology and environmentally at the global forefront. To achieve this, a continuous focus on developing new and better fundamental scientific understanding of process mechanisms are necessary. CaRMa looks at four important material areas used in the production of...
...microplastics. Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the marine environment. Plastic has a slow decomposition rate, and combined with volume of new plastic finding its way into rivers and ocean every year, the amount of plastic in the environment is accumulating. Beads used in personal care products or...
...work, health and performance. The degree of cold exposure is essential for the severity and risks associated with the exposure. Cold environment disturbs not only the machinery of industrial processes and vehicles, but is also very crucial factor to reduce worker's comfort, performance and safety. Indication...
The project will develop new knowledge and propose measures to reduce the risk for personnel in the aquaculture industry. A particular focus is safety challenges that arise at the interface between different organisations. In the period 2012-2022, there were 10 fatalities in the Norwegian aquaculture...
...are partners who will develop and use resilient and sustainable solutions. In the coming years, Norwegian municipalities and businesses must adapt to the effects of climate change. SINTEF is leading RESIST, a major EU-funded project aimed at developing new knowledge and solutions for climate adaptation...
TRACE develops knowledge and methods for the sustainable development of the transport sector. Nature and the environment are under increasing pressure. Therefore, we need to develop transport systems that better consider what nature can tolerate. TRACE is a research centre working to determine how the...
Model and reduce the uncertainties in lifetime prediction of marine risers based on targeted probability levels using probablistic and multi-fidelity modelling relying on measurement data. The oceans, with their relentless waves, strong currents, and floating platforms, pose significant challenges for...
The project aims to design, validate and build an integrated prototype demonstrator that utilizes an immersion cooling system in combination with new, highly efficient materials and systems for long-term thermal energy storage. Additionally, various exploitation pathways for the recovered heat—such...
OptiFish aims to develop, test, and validate technologies that will improve onboard monitoring of catch volumes and fish health, enabling fishers to improve the sustainability of their operations and to better meet control requirements. More specifically, the technologies investigated during the project...
...numerical simulation and optimization to develop a digital platform for optimizing design and long term management of open, complex geothermal storage systems. Heating and cooling applications constitute more than 40% of national electricity demands. If we can develop means for recovery and large-scale storage...
...greener, and more efficient. Challenges in the construction industry The construction industry plays an important role in the European economy, contributing almost 9% to its GDP. But the industry faces several challenges: Shortage of skilled workers Slow technology adoption Worker safety and productivity...
