  Introduction A  3D Laser Scanner  is a device, and it is a method to capture a physical object’s exact size and shape in the computer world as a digital three-dimensional representation. 3d laser scanning is like taking a picture but with depth. So that they can be remodeled in the digital world. It delivers a faster and more accurate approach to data collection, and it is a cost-effective approach for creating as-builts of a facility. It is usually done for the purpose of 3d modeling. The benefits of 3d laser scanning are high accuracy, long-range, rapid data acquisition, and many more. Manufacturing, Automobiles, Power Plants, Oil & Gas Industry, and Heavy Engineering are starting to steadily adopt this technology and use 3D scans for development, comparisons, record keeping, new building, and alterations. What is 3d Laser Scanning? The 3D laser scanner is a device that captures shapes of surrounding objects in a form of “point clouds” which means that all informa...

  Introduction Fire safety is a crucial aspect of any building project, especially in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the subsequent Hackitt Review. To address the need for better management and exchange of fire safety  information  throughout the lifecycle of a built asset, a new British Standard has been developed: BS 8644-1:2022 Digital management of fire safety information – Part 1: Design, construction, handover, asset management, and emergency response – Code of practice. This blog post will explain what BS 8644-1 is, why it is important, and how it can benefit the construction industry and other stakeholders. What is BS 8644-1? BS 8644-1 is a code of practice that provides recommendations and guidance on the management, presentation, and exchange of fire safety information using digital information management processes. It covers the following stages in the lifecycle of assets in all parts of the built environment, including infrastructure: Briefing Desi...

  What is preventive maintenance and how does it work? Preventive  maintenance  is the act of carrying out routine maintenance tasks to help stop unforeseen failures in the future. In simple words, it’s about fixing things before they break. Condition-monitoring tools are used in preventive maintenance to evaluate asset performance. The implemented sensors capture a broad variety of data from the physical operations of a structure or piece of equipment, such as shocks, temperature, conductivity, etc. Artificial intelligence  or the Internet of Things (IoT) is a crucial component of the process, which enables many systems to collaborate in order to interpret and analyze the collected data to determine the maintenance that should be carried out. With the reduced cost of bandwidth and storage, very large volumes of data may be collected and analyzed to provide not only a true overview of the assets in a single machine but also of the whole production network. Reasons yo...

  Introduction GIS is a computer-aided system that uses geographic  information  to produce maps, databases and other data sets. It has become an indispensable tool in various fields such as engineering, construction, land  surveying  and geology among others; it can help you plan and manage your projects in a better way with great accuracy. GIS applications in the construction industry GIS is a technology that helps you plan and manage your projects in a better way with great accuracy. It can help you improve your  project management , planning, and scheduling, as well as cost-effectiveness. GIS applications in the construction industry are used to monitor the progress of a project or  maintenance  activities on-site at any time during its life cycle. These applications provide information on spatial data such as map views (visualization), 3D models of buildings/structures, etc., which can be used for various purposes including management decisio...

  Introduction In recent years, laser scanning technology has emerged as a game-changer in various industries, and the shipyard sector is no exception. With its unparalleled precision and efficiency,  laser scanning  has revolutionized shipyard operations, making them more streamlined, accurate, and cost-effective. In this blog post, we will explore the numerous benefits and use cases of laser scanning in shipyards, highlighting how this technology has transformed the industry. ‍ Laser Scanning Use Cases 1. Accurate 3D Documentation One of the key advantages of laser scanning in shipyards is its ability to provide highly accurate and detailed 3D documentation of ships, structures, and equipment. Laser scanners capture millions of data points, creating a  digital replica  of the scanned object or area. This precise representation facilitates effective planning, design, and analysis throughout the shipyard lifecycle. Accurate 3D Documentation ‍ 2. Enhanced Shipyar...

Introduction Modern estates have entered an era where everything, from management to maintenance, is performed digitally. With technological advancements, estate owners are now capable of developing digital versions of their properties — commonly known as "Digital Estates". By implementing  Building Information Modelling (BIM)  and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies, these digital estates provide an innovative solution to longstanding challenges in the real estate sector. This blog will explore the reasons why every estate owner should consider creating digital estates and delve into the significant return on investment (ROI) potential of these platforms. Building Information Modelling (BIM) What is a Digital Estate? A Digital Estate is a virtual representation of a physical property that provides a comprehensive and detailed view of the estate's structure, systems, and operation. By integrating  BIM  and GIS technologies, digital estates can enhance pr...
