Digital Construction
Building Information Modelling
BIM is a process of visualising a digital representation of a physical asset via a 3D model. This enables the tracking and monitoring of an asset throughout its entire lifecycle, from initial design to construction, operations, and maintenance. Project teams can collaborate, share information, and monitor project costs using BIM. Digital tools make project management easier and more streamlined, avoiding the silos often formed when using traditional CAD approaches. Construction management is complex and requires open communication between design and construction teams.
Drone Progress Monitoring
Drones have become increasingly popular over the years, and project managers have found them to be a valuable tool in monitoring project progress. With a drone, you can capture detailed high-resolution aerial images and videos, which provide an accurate and up-to-date view of your project site.
Virtual Reality
One of the most significant benefits of VR in construction is its ability to enhance design visualization. Architects and engineers can use BIM Services to create 3D models of proposed construction projects. The 3D model thus generated, along with VR, allows stakeholders to explore and interact with the design in a virtual environment. This immersive experience can help identify potential design issues early on, enabling changes to be made before construction begins and saving both time and resources. VR can also streamline project planning and coordination. Project managers can use VR to visualize the construction site, plan logistics, and coordinate resources such as equipment and materials. Furthermore, VR can simulate different construction scenarios, helping identify potential issues and optimize the construction process.
Site / Field Inspection
Site inspections are a set of regular activities to check and verify the on-field compliance including Safety Standards, working conditions, and other critical areas of work site. Site inspection is being conducted and carried out using traditional methods of field visits with pen and paper checklist. They are collated at the end, churned into information after few days and then, a final report is published. A lot of time and effort is carried out to do the same. And during time non-compliances are identified and hence further steps are being taken. Transforming the same activity onto a digital platform using a software tool on the field or off the field gives an instant reporting platform with all the inspection checklist ready to be filled in, reporting NCs, other findings and sharing digital real-time reports to all the stakeholders. And most importantly, the complete closure cycle of NCs including the corrective or preventive action tracking will certainly make the whole process efficient and with real time updates, more transparent.
Progress Monitoring Camera & Laser Scanners
3D laser scanners are a Reality Capture technology that create a virtual representation of the jobsite with one critical advantage: besides also capturing 360 images, laser scanners document construction sites in real 3D with millions of measurements in seconds, with millimetre precision. During the construction phase, laser scanners have been used to survey the current As-Built status at the site in preparation for work packages demanding precise tolerances and measurements. 360-degree cameras can help construction companies to monitor progress in real-time. By capturing images of the site regularly, construction managers can keep track of how much work has been done and identify any areas that may be behind schedule. This real-time monitoring allows managers to make timely adjustments to the construction process, ensuring that the project stays on track and within budget. 360-degree cameras are innovative devices that can capture a panoramic view of a construction site. They are small, lightweight, and portable, making them easy to move around the site and capture images from different angles.
