pioneering startups and tech savvy
[5]
entrepreneurs are disrupting the
[7]
construction industry like never before
[10]
[Music]
[12]
but the standout figure in this exciting
[14]
revolution is undoubtedly Elon Musk
[20]
widely regarded as one of the most
[22]
ambitious and successful entrepreneurs
[24]
of recent times musk is the man behind
[27]
Tesla SpaceX and a whole host of other
[30]
companies that are driving rapid change
[33]
within the construction industry here we
[36]
look at three ways he is disrupting our
[38]
sector first up is Musk's impact on
[46]
transport infrastructure in the form of
[49]
Hyperloop a new high-speed mode of
[52]
travel that's billed as the fastest way
[54]
to cross the surface of the earth the
[56]
Hyperloop concept sees pods containing
[59]
passengers and cargo loaded onto
[61]
transporters that trouble at airline
[64]
speed in pressurized tubes using
[66]
electric propulsion and magnetic
[68]
levitation many people dismiss the
[71]
concept as infeasible and a media stunt
[74]
to a mosque first proposed it in 2012
[77]
despite this he made Hyperloop open
[80]
source and encouraged student groups and
[82]
startup companies to take his idea and
[85]
develop it further since then an
[88]
entirely new industry has been born with
[91]
numerous companies being established to
[93]
independently develop specific Hyperloop
[96]
technologies proving that it isn't just
[99]
a fantasy larger companies like
[102]
Hyperloop transportation technologies
[104]
and Virgin high-poly one have modified
[107]
Musk's original concepts and are now in
[109]
a serious race to become the first to
[112]
deploy an operational Hyperloop system
[114]
that could revolutionize the way we
[116]
travel
[118]
[Music]
[120]
as part of masks ongoing vision to move
[123]
the world away from a mine and burn
[126]
economy and towards a solar economy he
[129]
assisted his cousins Peter and Linden
[131]
right in establishing Solar City in 2006
[136]
by 2011 it had become one of the leading
[139]
installers of solar panels and electric
[141]
vehicle charges in the United States
[144]
after recognizing the symbiotic
[147]
relationship between solar city and
[148]
Tesla musk merged the two companies in
[151]
2016
[152]
expanding Solar City to not only provide
[155]
a means of energy production but one of
[157]
energy storage as well by combining the
[161]
solar panel systems with his tesla
[163]
powerwall musk was able to offer a
[166]
practical means to store excess energy
[168]
produced on sunny days so that it would
[171]
kick in at times when the Sun did not
[172]
shine
[174]
this weaned millions of homes off their
[177]
alliance on traditional power grids as
[179]
the fallback for solar power during the
[181]
night and on cloudy days musk also
[186]
announced in 2016 that Solar City would
[188]
introduce the Tesla solar roof a system
[192]
where roof tiles act as photovoltaic
[194]
panels thus ensuring the ability for a
[197]
household to generate solar power is
[199]
integral to its design not just bolted
[202]
on later production is already underway
[205]
in Tesla's gigafactory - in Buffalo New
[208]
York and the first commercial
[210]
installations are expected in 2018 with
[218]
numerous established misconceptions
[220]
about the construction industry across
[221]
society many of the brightest young
[224]
people are pushed into what is perceived
[226]
as high-flying careers by their parents
[229]
guardians and teachers the result is a
[233]
lack of strong young talents coming into
[235]
our sector a sector that uses
[237]
cutting-edge technology every day that
[240]
enables you to travel the world and
[241]
which delivers a built environment but
[244]
almost every human being on earth
[245]
interacts with L or Musk
[249]
is one of the key figures challenging
[251]
those misconceptions
[253]
in December 2016 while stuck in traffic
[256]
in Los Angeles Musk tweeted that he
[259]
would build a tunnel to address the
[260]
city's traffic congestion within two
[264]
months he had purchased a tunnel boring
[266]
machine and begun excavating a test
[269]
tunnel at his SpaceX headquarters under
[272]
a new venture the boring company
[274]
similarly in response to ongoing power
[277]
failures in South Australia brought on
[280]
by storms and heat waves musk stated
[282]
that he would solve the stays energy
[284]
needs by building the world's largest
[285]
battery farm in less than a hundred days
[288]
if he couldn't achieve his goal he
[291]
promised to do it for free
[292]
musk went on to deliver with a month to
[295]
spare the speed at which many of Musk's
[298]
ideas move from concepts to real world
[301]
applications affecting millions of
[303]
people is rapidly demonstrating the
[305]
power of construction to our wider
[307]
