China will use blockchain technology to control construction

As reported on the main website of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), a group of architects has developed a blockchain-based system for remote tracking of the quality of student dormitory construction.

The system, called E-Inspection 2.0, will remotely monitor the entire process from start to finish. Based on temperature, humidity, and vibration data, the system will determine the health and quality of building modules, which are affected by a large number of factors.

E-Inspection 2.0 has already been tested in the construction of the Wong Chuk Hang dormitory, which was built from 1000 modules.

The trend of using blockchain technologies to improve the usual processes is growing. In Africa, Minexx will use blockchain technology to control key processes of minerals (tin, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, and gold) mines. The use of Minexx’s digital platforms will provide legal confirmation of the origin of minerals, hassle-free transportation, export and trade.
