AUGMENTED REALITY FOR CONSTRUCTION

Enhance construction workflows by bringing 3D models and project data into the real world. Here are some of the key uses of Trimble Connect AR in the construction industry:

Visualisation of 3D Models On-Site

  • Model Overlay: Overlay 3D models directly onto the construction site, helping to visualise how designs fit into the actual environment. This real-time visualisation can be instrumental in ensuring accuracy and making adjustments before or during construction.
  • Design Verification: By comparing the digital model with the physical environment, construction teams can verify if the design aligns with the reality of the site. This helps identify discrepancies early, reducing errors and rework.

Enhanced Collaboration

  • Real-Time Communication: Teams can collaborate in real-time by viewing the same AR model on-site. This fosters better communication between designers, engineers, and construction workers, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
  • Issue Identification and Resolution: Problems can be identified and resolved quickly as everyone involved can see the issues in the context of the actual environment. AR also makes it easier to convey complex information during meetings or discussions.

Improved Construction Accuracy

  • Precision Placement: AR assists in ensuring that components are placed correctly in the construction process. This can be especially useful for complex structures, where precise placement is critical for structural integrity.
  • Layout and Installation: Workers can use AR to guide the installation of elements like pipes, walls, and other fixtures, reducing the need for rework and ensuring that the construction matches the design specifications.

Quality Control and Inspection

  • Comparison with As-Built Conditions: Enable teams to compare the construction progress with the original design, helping to ensure quality standards are met. Inspections can be more thorough as AR highlights any deviations from the plan.
  • Documentation: AR can be used to document the construction process, capturing images or videos that show the model in relation to the actual build. This can be valuable for later reviews, claims, or reporting.

Safety and Training

  • Hazard Identification: By visualising the final design within the construction environment, workers can better understand potential hazards and adjust their approach to improve safety on-site.
  • Training Tool: Allow workers to interact with 3D models in the real world. This hands-on experience can help them understand the project better and be prepared for actual construction tasks.

Streamlining Workflows

  • Integration with BIM (Building Information Modeling): Integrates seamlessly with BIM models, allowing for easy access to project data and updates. This helps streamline workflows and ensures that the most current information is always available on-site.
  • Project Monitoring: By using AR to visualise the project’s progress, managers can better monitor timelines, budgets, and overall project health, making more informed decisions.

Client Engagement and Presentations

  • Interactive Client Walkthroughs: Clients can experience the design in AR, allowing them to walk through the project before it’s built. This interactive experience can enhance client satisfaction by giving them a clearer understanding of the final product.
  • Stakeholder Presentations: AR can be used in presentations to stakeholders, making complex designs more accessible and easier to understand, which can aid in securing approvals and investments.

Trimble Connect AR bridges the gap between digital designs and physical construction, enhancing accuracy, collaboration, and efficiency throughout the construction process.
