About the session
Construction schedules are still largely built on static assumptions. This session walks through how discrete-event simulation and real-time digital twins close that gap — turning sequencing risk into a testable, data-driven decision before a single crew mobilizes on site. Drawing on live pipeline and infrastructure projects across the Gulf, the talk covers simulation-driven scheduling, automation triggers, and how project intelligence dashboards keep teams ahead of the curve during execution.
Note: all simulation content discussed is scoped to the construction phase — sequencing and scenario-testing before and during execution — not asset operations or post-handover.
