  Introduction ‍ The construction and infrastructure sector is the second-largest unorganized sector after the agriculture sector which is the backbone of every country. In the present world ‘Data’ is the next fuel. The AEC industry is generating a lot of data in every project but it is fragmented at multiple locations with multiple people. So the only way to collate all the data related to a project is to have a Common Data Environment(CDE). The British Standard Institute(BSI) specifies a standard known as  ISO 19650  that is specifically for the construction and infrastructure sector which talks about the implementation of  Building Information Modeling(BIM)  in civil and engineering works and  information management  using BIM. The single platform where the information related to a project is stored, managed, and controlled through the entire life cycle of an asset is called a Common Data Environment(CDE). This is the platform where all the stakehol...

  Introduction In India, the acceptance and integration of new technologies into existing systems or creating a new one is very difficult. It’s very difficult to convince people about the advantages of these(new) technologies. We compare technologies with manpower. Manpower is a strength but sometimes it's a pain too. And in most cases, the Involvement of manpower brings errors too. Adoption & Integration of Digital technologies across businesses not only changes the business processes but also improves the value for customers. Using technologies to monitor the status of the project/work - can facilitate quicker updates and the right action plans can be taken to reduce cost & time. One of the biggest benefits of adopting digital transformation is the dramatic improvement in efficiency, cost-saving, and increased transparency. Across various sectors/industries, digital transformation is offering extraordinary opportunities in terms of innovation. There is a continuous evolve...

  Introduction The construction industry is one of the largest contributors to employment and economic growth in the world. The industry is growing faster than ever, due to the increase in population and the need for affordable housing, infrastructure, and facilities for all. The construction industry will continue to increase in its importance as the growth in any other industry will all be possible, when there are offices, schools, healthcare, factories, roads and bridges, etc built for running their operations. Market Scenario It is estimated that the global construction industry revenue will be about 16 Trillion USD, Growing at a CAGR of 7% and the Indian market would be around 1.4 Trillion, by 2025. In 2020, the Indian construction industry stood at around 6.5 Bn in revenue. So you can imagine the extent of the industry and thereby opportunities that are available for improvement in the way it is delivered. It becomes essential for the workforce — contributors across the lifec...

  Introduction Digital terrain models (DTMs) are geospatial datasets that model the topography of the Earth’s surface in a digital environment. They are typically constructed from another source of geospatial data such as  LiDAR , photogrammetry, or terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). A DTM is a useful GIS dataset for a variety of operations and activities; this is especially true when your organization has limited field resources to collect survey information. By using lidar to create your DTM, you can unlock several benefits. Let’s take a look at three benefits of creating a DTM using lidar. Better Understanding of Environments When you use lidar to create your DTM, you create a digital representation of your study area. This digital representation can be used to create a digital terrain data model or digital surface model (DSM). The DSM allows you to visualize your environment in 3D geometry. You can use this 3D model to visualize your study area in real-time or in post-proce...

  Introduction The world is changing fast. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace and the internet of things (IoT) is making it possible to connect everything in our homes, cars, and offices to digital devices. We are also seeing more and more buildings being connected through smart building systems or using digital platforms for communication between people, buildings, and services. In this article, we will explore how property owners can leverage technology to improve their operations through the use of  digital twins : virtual representations of physical assets that are either created by software applications or based on existing data sets. It starts with creating a digital twin of the building or a whole portfolio. The first step is to create a digital twin of your building or portfolio. A digital twin is a model that captures the physical and functional characteristics of an asset, such as its size, shape, and location. This can be done using different methods: capture p...

  Introduction In the past decade, the adoption of  BIM  has changed the way we design and build. Now, industrial projects are also moving toward the adoption of BIM. For those unfamiliar with construction or design terminology, BIM is an acronym for Building Information Modeling. It’s a process and software that allows designers to digitally represent a structure before it’s built. Industrial projects often require specialized knowledge and technology to plan and design heavy machinery safely and efficiently in a warehouse or production facility.  BIM  combines tools like Building Views, Structure, Electrical, Operational Documents, Equipment Plans, and Site Plans to create virtual blueprints (known as Virtual Design) of an industrial facility before construction begins. These blog posts provide insight into how you can implement BIM in your next Industrial project. Why is BIM essential for industrial projects? BIM is an essential part of every design and const...
