This evening, BIG-TO, the Building Intelligence Group’s Toronto Chapter, hosts HH Angus’ Krigh Bachmann, Design Technology Leader, and Mahmoud Ghandour, Smart Buildings Program Manager at Siemens, speaking on “Digital Twin: Myths vs Reality”. Their thought-provoking presentation will examine what digital twins are today, how they are evolving, and what their potential future impact may be. Krigh and Mahmoud will also discuss how digital twins relate to building intelligence, BIM for Facilities Management, and smart buildings.

HH Angus’ work in digital twins bridges the physical and digital worlds for our clients by creating 3D models of their existing buildings. Owners, developers, facility managers, architects, engineers and contractors are now able to incorporate accurate as-built 3D models into planning, design, construction and ongoing facilities management. To learn more, get in touch with Krigh here.

We’re delighted to introduce Krigh Bachmann, who has joined our Knowledge Management group in the role of Design Technology Leader. Digital technologies continue to drive change in how we design and construct buildings. We are increasingly able to provide more informed and better engineering solutions to our clients, potentially reduce costs and deliver higher performance for the buildings in which we live, work and play.

With over 20 years of design experience and technical expertise, Krigh brings passion and a compelling vision for integrating technology into our processes to successfully design and deliver infrastructure. Working in Canada and the UK for design and engineering firms ranging from 20 to 4000 employees, Krigh has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of emerging technologies combined with the ability to turn complex systems into practical solutions that drive tangible results for clients.

Krigh has worked on a wide variety of projects, incorporating into the design process concepts such as smart buildings, digital delivery contract language, generative artificial intelligence, and digital twins. He has gained a reputation for working closely with clients to help them achieve their digital information objectives; for example, his most recent initiative focused on developing a new Intelligent Building Integration service.

Some of Krigh’s project highlights include managing a Design Technology support team that coordinated BIM on major projects, including the Calgary Cancer Centre. In 2021, he contributed to the Digital Campus strategy for the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, working with our Angus Connect team. In Europe and the Middle East, he served as Digital Design Leader on projects such as Goldman Sachs’ 1.2 million square foot office fitout, data centres for Microsoft and Facebook, a 190,000 square foot fitout for Aon London, as well as malls in Kuwait and Abu Dhabi.

An in-demand speaker at AEC industry events, Krigh frequently shares his expertise on topics such as building intelligence in the retail sector, use of AI in design, how AI can accelerate results in the real estate sector, and various challenges facing AEC firms, among many other subjects.

We’re excited to have Krigh join our firm and continue our journey of digital transformation. He will collaborate across all our divisions, including our well-established Digital Service Division comprised of mechanical and electrical engineers, software developers, data scientists, Amazon Web Services (AWS) certified specialists, BIM technologists, and project and product managers who specialize in a range of technology for the built environment.
