Scan-To-BIM applied to the nuclear industry

scan to bim central nuclear

At the nuclear power plants: Vandellós II, Almaráz and Cofrentes, under the direction, coordination and management of GDES (Dominguis Energy Services Group), our team has been in charge of collecting data from existing electrical pipelines and three-dimensional modeling. Due to the commitment to excellence in safety and reliability in the industry, our client has opted for our 3D Laser Scanning services and our specialized experts in BIM consulting.

Scan-to-BIM and its benefits

The Faro Focus 3D x330 scanner was the tool used to survey the electrical pipelines and collect all essential information with point clouds and high-quality image volumes. From the data obtained, with the use of BIM and Revit, three-dimensional models of the current state were created, to later include the designed endothermic protection solutions (fire protection) and obtain their measurements with high precision.

The Laser Scanner has made it possible to simplify the data collection process, allowing the risks involved in working at height, accidental actions with the equipment necessary for manual data collection and personnel exposure times to be significantly reduced; translating into terms of occupational safety and nuclear safety.

The benefits of using these technologies are transcendent, in addition to obtaining precise and structured data, it offers the opportunity to provide optimized solutions, which consider a greater number of data and factors for the design. In turn, it is possible to better plan actions, increase safety, avoid future problems and, consequently, increase the efficiency of nuclear energy facilities.

We thank our client GDES for the trust placed in the Acero Estudio team.

LIDAR and its Benefits for Infrastructure Construction

beneficios de la tecnologia lidar

LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology is a fundamental tool in the infrastructure construction industry. Thanks to its laser pulses, it helps us measure distances, depth differences in the terrain and of course the creation of precise three-dimensional models of a studied area. In this article we will try to review the benefits of LIDAR technology for the construction of infrastructure.

Accurate terrain mapping

With LIDAR technology our engineers can create detailed topographic maps of any terrain, which is essential for planning infrastructure construction projects. Thanks to a record generated with LIDAR, your project can have precise information about the elevation of the terrain, slope and surrounding vegetation.

This information will be of great help to take advantage of the geographical advantages of any area as well as avoid risks in the construction and design of roads, bridges, dams and other projects.

Obstacle detection

One of the most important benefits of LIDAR is its ability to detect and map obstacles even in areas with lush vegetation or areas with buildings or electrical cables. This is crucial to ensure the safety of construction, workers and avoiding problems with existing structures.

Efficient design and planning

LIDAR helps us have accurate data that allows engineers and architects to carry out more efficient infrastructure design. Having a detailed understanding of the terrain and obstacles can improve road alignment, the location of bridge piers, and also the layout of underground infrastructure.

Advantages of LIDAR for Quality Control and Project Monitoring

Take into consideration that the advantages of LIDAR are not only appropriate before the execution of projects but also during and after for quality control tasks, monitoring the resistance of structures, etc. And with respect to infrastructure projects, it is worth noting that LIDAR has been used successfully in a wide range of construction projects such as:

  • Construction of roads and highways.
  • Flood management and drainage infrastructure.
  • Monitoring of electrical transmission lines.
  • Urban planification.

Now that you know more about the advantages and benefits of LIDAR, we invite you to contact us about our LIDAR services. Contact us today, we are here to support you.

Topographic Survey – Topographic Services

Topographic Surveying: An Essential Service for Construction and Project Planning

In the world of construction and architecture, precision is key. The infrastructure that is built must be safe, functional and aesthetically pleasing, but it all starts with a detailed understanding of the terrain on which it will be built. This is where land surveying comes into play, an essential surveying service that measures and represents the characteristics of a land surface. Without a doubt, this process is one of the fundamental pillars in project planning.

Fundamental Pillars for Project Planning

Topographic surveying has become a highly specialized discipline that uses advanced techniques to obtain a detailed plan of the terrain. It is not limited to simply drawing a flat map; It goes much further by showing elevations and low areas with an impressive level of detail. In addition, it is capable of identifying and representing existing elements on the ground, such as trees, buildings or roads. This service is the first step towards creating a design that works in harmony with the natural environment.

For construction and architecture companies, surveying services such as land surveying are invaluable. By having precise knowledge of the terrain, architects and engineers can design structures that take advantage of the natural shape of the terrain’s slopes, taking advantage of its natural characteristics. This approach not only promotes the aesthetics and functionality of the design, but also generates significant savings by adapting to the existing topography instead of trying to modify it.

Surveying also plays a crucial role in geographic risk management. Nature can be unpredictable, but with the information provided by this service, it is possible to anticipate and manage a series of challenges. For example, flood zones can be detected, which is essential for planning construction projects near bodies of water or flood-prone areas. Likewise, areas of unstable land can be identified, allowing architects and engineers to plan construction processes that anticipate these challenges, thus avoiding costly corrections later in the project.

Furthermore, surveying not only benefits builders and architects, but is also essential in a variety of industries. For example, in the field of agriculture, this technique is used to plan irrigation and crop planting efficiently, taking advantage of the characteristics of the terrain to optimize production. In the energy field, it is used in the planning of wind and solar farms, ensuring that facilities are placed in optimal locations in terms of exposure to the sun and wind. Even in the realm of cartography and geology, topographic surveying is essential for creating accurate maps and understanding the geology of a region.

Surveying is much more than a simple measurement tool. It is an essential service that supports project planning, ensures the safety of structures and enables efficient management of geographic risks. From home construction to large-scale infrastructure projects, this discipline is an integral part of the construction industry and plays a critical role in creating a safe and functional built environment. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that land surveying is the foundation on which our world is built.
