Many people have matched blockchain technology with the early days of the internet. Many developers are still trying to come up with more use cases to employ the full potential of this disruptive technology. To this end, the blockchain developers at the University of Hong Kong have come up with a new dApps that is based on blockchain ledgers.
The main objective of this application is to record and cross-check the quality of construction work. The project is currently deployed to examine the strength and stability of student quarters at present. The core developers of the architecture-inspired blockchain recently briefed the journalists in a press memo.
E-Inspection 2.0
As per the press release issued by the developers at Hong Kong University, the new application is dubbed at E-Inspection 2.0, and it contains all the necessary components and requirements of a site that is built to the code of construction. The user has to insert the photos of the construction site that are officiated and verified for inspection.
Furthermore, the blockchain application is also able to take meteorological and geological factors into accounts, such as the average temperature of the area, the vibrations, and other important data streams that can impact the quality of the construction in the years to come. The blockchain application can collect all these data with the help of the sensors that are attached to the machine.
The students at HKU have used the blockchain application to inspect the dorms at the Wong Chuck Hang residency for pupils. To make the inspection more authentic, the students adopted the Modular Integrated Construction standard for the architectural audit.
Additionally, the E-Inspection has also processed the construction data from more than 1 thousand blocks from the Guangdong Province. The data was later transported to Hong Kong to generate a rough blueprint for a new project.
On account of COVID restrictions, the inspections of the construction sites have halted or experienced unprecedented delays that have created room for a technical replacement such as E-Inspection 2.0.
