If your organization has ever encountered an infrastructure project or project management for civil engineering that was centered on a large and somewhat old dwelling, you know there are a myriad of challenges that come with such a project.
Civil engineering project management can require costly travel to a virtual facility for eyes-on visibility to measure and tabulate the building length and width, the height of doors and ceilings, structural elements, and additional measurements of critical technical equipment and machinery – just to name a few cases. This is not an easy chore by any stretch of the imagination when gaining access to the facility alone can be a daunting task. Plus the amount of time it takes to get to the facility can be cost-prohibitive, as is the amount of time it would take to physically measure and document the building structure.
Further, older facilities may have lost records and documentation of their machines, piping, and electrical equipment. Oftentimes these recordings were made on foreman notebooks and were likely long lost or discarded. If this information was somehow kept through the years, it is likely decentralized, fragmented, or perhaps faded into the memory of a few seasoned veteran employees.
Many times, old factories and buildings have structural damages unseen to the naked eye. So what is a company to do when these challenges are a very real occurrence for civil engineering and facility maintenance projects? You call JP Global Digital.
Moving Facility Maintenance Projects Into the 21st Century Via 3D Technology
Our JP interactive viewer solution allows civil engineers to integrate management software systems and databases, asset information, and operational data to bring value to point clouds and BIM data. It centralizes all your infrastructures in one, easy-to-use digital platform.
This advanced technology application improves project management for civil engineering. With point clouds – generated by using 3D reality capture technology – you can take a deep look at your facility. If you want to go further and take measurements, annotate, improve team communication, share files, and more, our software is for you.
