From Reality to Virtual– Point Cloud to BIM Services

Image
  Source: Pinterest For a long time, the AEC industry has faced several challenges concerning efficiency, productivity, and coordination. While a manual approach always stays prone to these issues, BIM services let a project meet its efficiency demands. Of all the technologies, point cloud to BIM services exhibited a promising potential to refine the AEC workflows. Refurbishment or renovation of buildings relies on accuracy in scanning on-site conditions. And this is where point cloud to BIM services come into the picture with reliable information. Let’s unveil these services and how they benefit the AEC industry.  What does a Point Cloud Mean? Source: Pinterest The new-age scanning techniques use laser scanners for accuracy. A laser scanner carries in-depth scanning of the physical structures and surroundings and depicts the information with 3D points. These are known as point clouds. A point cloud model represents illustrations built with large data points to showcase the s...

Spool Drawings– Achieving Precision in Fabrication

  Source: Autodesk Every construction project comprises multiple services. These range from structures to networks of ducts and pipes. And a successful project integrates them without overlapping or clashes. Spool drawings are a guide to these piping systems to ensure clash-free installation. These are used for plumbing, HVAC, and MEP fabrications. Let’s understand these drawings and how they benefit the typical AEC workflow. Decoding Spool Drawings and Their Purpose/ What are Spool Drawings? Spool drawings exhibit every minute detail of prefabricated components used for a piping system. It displays information ranging from material specifications to dimensions for a particular segment of a piping system. What is the Purpose of Spool Drawing? Convey Sizes and Dimensions These comprise accurate length, diameter, thickness, sizes, and types of fittings and valves. Showcase the Routing and Layout of Pipes It gives a clear layout, mentioning the location of fittings, valves, and oth...
