Abstract:

ACCIONA Construction in Spain provides a case study of technology transfer at a construction company, as well as insights into the ways that many private-sector organizations have become critical partners in the transfer of technologies that can advance the transportation sector into the next technological frontier. In this article examples of successful technology transfer at ACCIONA offer insights into how research results can move through a well-designed and managed process of technology transfer to benefit all stakeholders. Examples include: ACCIONA's use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials in bridge construction; the development of a European standard for the sustainability assessment of roads; and the transfer of building information modeling (BIM) knowledge.
