5. NOW…

6. Today: 3D Printing is Here at Small Scale 360 Architecture (now HOK) put 3D printing to work to win the Atlanta Falcons Stadium commission. A scale model with a motorized roof showed off the kinetic structure that appears to open like a camera shutter. Five 3D printers produced the operable model in time for the presentation.

7. Today: Drones Access Hard to Reach Places Firms like Asymmetric Technologies are navigating the FAA rules to win exemptions to do dam, bridge and other civil works inspections with drones. It’s a tool in the the inspector’s toolbox, says the firm’s CEO Brian Borkowski. Watch the Flying High Video from ENR.com

8. Today: Large-Scale Energy Storage Is Possible Red Lion Energy Center will produce 27 MW for Delmarva Power & Light Co. in Delaware. Its refrigerator sized cabinets house Bloom Energy Servers—natural gas powered fuels cells that use solid-oxide in Bloom’s patented process.

9. Today: Intelligent Compactor Gets it Just Right Volvo machine evalutes the state of pavement compaction in real time to avoid over- or under- compacting —extending roadway life.

10. Today: Internet of Things—Bridges That Talk Back Sensors monitor earthquake motions at the San Francisco Bay Bridge.

11. WHEN?

12. Far Future: Movies Ideas Stretch Our Imagination

13. Near: Wearable Computing Nears Market Readiness But advanced tools like the Golden-i by Koplin Corp. (now Motorola) are farther in the future. Watch the Golden-I video from ENR.com

14. Near: Robots Take Over Awkward Jobs? NLink’s mobile overhead drilling robot made its first sale this spring.

15. 1-2 Years: UAV Guides Itself, Navigating in Real Time CMU’s Ariel Robotic Infrastructure Analyst (ARIA) collects 40,000 x-y-z points per second to building a point cloud of its surroundings.

16. Five Years: New Materials Change the Landscape Delft University’s Henk Jonkers patents “self-healing concrete.”

17. Two Years: 3D Printers Tackle Full-Scale Structures MX3D will 3D Print a bridge over a canal in Amsterdam. Watch their video.

18. More and More and More Ideas… Nano-engineered catalysts, membranes and light-activated materials to make water treatment affordable and portable Bio-geotechnical approaches to boosting the resiliency of infrastructure Autonomous vehicles Automated plan checking Tackling political and institutional barriers
