The brief:
Ever walked around a concrete building and seen a little bit of rust or exposed reinforcement and wondered, "If it's like that there, what's it like everywhere else? Could this be an issue?". Well, that's exactly what our client thought.
Unfortunately, as they don't have x-ray vision they really couldn't tell. That's when they came to Hoffcon and asked if we could help them understand if they had a problem on their hands.
The expectation:
Typically this would mean clipboards, paper forms, manual spreadsheet entry and a fair few months before anything meaningful would come out of it. Because that's how it's always been done.
The delivery:
We got our hands on a Hilti PS1000 Concrete Scanner, and built a bespoke app that captured the scan information, photos, site conditions and comments from the team on the ground.
Back in the office we were able to post process the information and link it to a 3D model of the building. In two months we captured more than 10,000 scans. This was simplified to an interactive Power BI report using the building model as navigation. The client was able to gain insight into their asset from our report linking photos, data and comments in an unique and innovative way.
