Globally, AI, automation and the broader digital landscape are rapidly evolving, and this can certainly be felt in our region, which is renowned for its fast adoption. From automated traffic management systems to AI-powered construction supervision tools, infrastructure leaders like Parsons play a pivotal role in ensuring our clients keep pace, stay ahead of the curve and benefit from these innovations. There is more to it than simply purchasing the latest tech available. To future-proof infrastructure and guarantee resilience on Giga projects, our team takes a data-centric approach to assess, pilot, or, when required, develop innovative technologies capable of meeting project needs in the safest, most cost-effective way possible without compromising our strict quality standards.
The depth of understanding, scale, and differentiated perspective gained through 80 years of successful project delivery is why Parsons is uniquely positioned as a global infrastructure provider. Our experts are future-proofing critical infrastructure by applying digital innovations, cybersecurity protections, and enhanced sustainability to projects throughout our portfolio.
Scalability and measuring the positive impact of these technologies on our quality of life, whether at work, in cities, or elsewhere, are important considerations when reviewing tech. This necessitates a forward-thinking approach, which factors in long-term viability and adaptability across Giga projects. Parsons implements these technologies effectively thanks to our digital-first mentality, which aligns operational excellence with technology. We have a robust project management framework that sets out governing principles which, when coupled with Parsons’ internal and local regulatory standards, like quality, safety and sustainability (e.g. ISO and LEED), dictate how we deploy relevant technologies.
Additionally, Parsons has an established international network of startups and incubators, including several in the Middle East; this enables us to leverage suitable technologies capable of enhancing operational efficiency and adding value to project delivery.
We have a team of over 6,500 employees across EMEA utilizing a range of advanced technologies, such as the construction oversight tool OpenSpace—now deployed at over 70 different locations—Project Management Information Systems (PMIS), Model First 4-6D BIM design solution, and ParsonsGPT—our bespoke AI solution, which is secure and in compliance with regional data governance requirements. These tools offer data analytics solutions that improve project visualization, management, and delivery.
AI is revolutionizing how we deliver and protect critical infrastructure by enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and predictive capabilities. When used effectively, AI can optimize project management, streamline workflows, enhance sustainability, and mitigate risks.
Parsons’ commitment to innovation and safety, coupled with our experience in the region dating back to 1958, positions us as a leader in delivering Giga projects that will meet the demands of the future.
