Spotlight Session: Q Point - Digitalization Meets Construction Process
Time: 9:55-10:30 AM
Topic: Process-Oriented Road Construction: From Asphalt Mixing to Compaction
Speaker: Marcel Pilger, CTO Q Point Group
Marcel Pilger, CTO Q Point Group
Why this session matters:
Marcel demonstrates how digital technologies can be effectively integrated into construction execution with practical strategies for optimizing the entire value chain in road construction. This session is a must for practitioners, planners, and decision-makers aiming to implement data-driven, efficient, and quality-assured projects.
A diverse lecture program will explore key future topics in the industry. Among others, the agenda includes early practical experiences with electrification in road construction, the current state of automation and autonomous machinery, and legal and technical challenges related to road width in rural and municipal contexts. Additional focus areas include the innovation platform duraBASt, CO₂ assessment criteria for sustainable road construction, and pilot projects that showcase new approaches in both material use and construction techniques. The program also offers insights from the high-precision construction of test and racetracks, as well as practical expertise in asphalt mixing technology, with a particular emphasis on the use of foam bitumen.
The event is designed for professionals and executives in road construction: site managers, project leads, public authorities, municipal representatives, engineering consultants, as well as machinery and technology providers and digitalization specialists who want to actively shape future construction processes.
