Evolution Digital Construction team recently supported a sister company, Studio Steel, as they prepared to install a new steel structure on a concrete slab that another company had prepared.
During setout, it quickly became apparent that some of the build was not particularly well documented, and areas of the slab were, in fact, incomplete.
Using Cintoo cloud technology, the Evolution Digital Construction team quickly pinpointed the discrepancies, informing the client that the site was not ready to receive the steel work as currently fabricated.
Before the emergence of of digital construction technology, situations like this would have led to costly and significant delays in overall construction.
Saving time and money
However, pre-install investigation scans would prove a game changer for this project because the as-built information was collected by default.
This process provided Evolution Digital Construction with the necessary data and knowledge from the site, which allowed the internal drafting team to make the revisions.
Next, the steel was reworked in the workshop, removing the inefficiencies from onsite fabrication and maintaining factory quality assurance processes.
The installation proved successful on the first go, and rework costs were kept to a minimum.
Most importantly Evolution Digital Construction provided the client with detailed reports of the issues found, which they could then discuss with their third-party contractors for the identified defects.
