The process of laser scanning has taken the construction industry by storm. In recent years, industry professionals have taken to laser scanning big time for two reasons primarily – v Low costs v Accuracy Apart, from these two, laser scanning offers other powerful benefits such as – v Reduced installation time v Improved construction quality v Enhanced site safety How is laser scanning revolutionizing construction quality? In construction, there are many components that are prefabricated. Laser scanning can help in inspecting these components to check if their dimensions and orientations are accurate before they are assembled and installed. This is done when the project is in progress so that the concerned person can rectify the error at the earliest before the issue turns into a more significant one. Moreover, once a large component is built in the fabrication yard, like this steel frame, it is virtually placed at its intended position on the site through la...

Mr. Biswaroop Todi, Global Vice President, Pinnacle Infotech discusses the power of BIM (Building Information Modeling) to bring LEED V4 Certified Sustainable Design to Construction LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) – the most extensively used green building rating system in the world provides a framework to craft efficient and cost-saving solution.   Consequently, the construction companies started implementing this universally acknowledged symbol of sustainability in their work process. However, a number of challenges are faced by Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) firms for bringing LEED V4 (the newest version of LEED) to construction. We will explore how BIM (Building Information Modeling) Technology helps to meet the criteria of LEED Credit Categories in a construction project, resolving the challenges of Environmental Factors, Water Scarcity, Resource Management, Long Material Lead Time, Benchmarking Energy Usage, Accurate Structural...
