Inventory twin provides up-to-date initial data of demolition and modernisation sites<\/h1>\n

The inventory twin developed by Sweco\u2019s specialists offers up-to-date initial data for the demolition and modernisation projects of existing sites. Accurate initial data supports project cost control, material recycling opportunities and disturbance-free execution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Construction materials make up roughly 50 per cent of the world\u2019s solid waste. The EU\u2019s new waste directive sets a demanding target for the recycling of construction and demolition waste.\u201cAccording to the recommendations, we should be able to utilise 70 per cent of construction and demolition waste created in Finland this year, although the latest estimates show that we are at about 54 per cent,\u201d explains Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) solution specialist\u00a0Katja Sipil\u00e4<\/strong>\u00a0from Sweco. \u201cThis is why demolition and modernisation projects require new cost-effective tools and procedures.\u201dBenefits of VDC solutions in existing buildings<\/strong>Finland\u2019s Ministry of the Environment encourages operators to take the opportunities of circular economy into account in demolition projects. Sweco\u2019s specialists have now developed a new service for the modernisation and demolition projects of industrial plants based on the familiar VDC solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe virtual design and construction solutions familiar from new construction can be applied to existing sites as well,\u201d Sipil\u00e4 says. This so-called inventory twin is a smart 3D model that provides up-to-date initial data on the dimensions, amounts, materials, and locations of existing buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis ensures the controlled and disturbance-free execution of projects,\u201d Sipil\u00e4 states. Accurate initial data also maximises the amount of material that can be recycled and creates value to waste as recycled material.<\/p>\n

The inventory twin offers great benefits early in the project when the most cost-effective implementation methods are being discovered. \u201cWe create an appropriately accurate inventory twin for each case and act as the client\u2019s partner throughout the project, as needed,\u201d Sipil\u00e4 says. Sweco\u2019s specialists can take care of the design, demolition surveys and permit issues, for example.<\/p>\n

Inventory twin supports decision-making<\/strong><\/p>\n

Information models are rarely available for old sites and drawings can be unavailable or unreliable. This means that the initial data verified by the inventory twin is already essential in the tendering stage of modernisation and demolition projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cReliable initial data allows us to draw up more accurate offers faster and with less work,\u201d Sipil\u00e4 says. \u201cRisk management is also enhanced, for example, if the 3D model is supplemented with detrimental material study results.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the initial data, the inventory twin illustrates the information provided by the plans and demolition surveys transparently to different project parties. \u201cWhen all parties understand the issues better, decision-making becomes faster and the project moves forward with less surprises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inventory twin created with laser scanning also supports maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The building to be modernised or demolished is first scanned with a laser. The point cloud received is used to create an inventory twin that contains the structural elements of the site, as well as the dimension, amount and material data.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inventory twin is a tried and tested method of illustrating facilities, structures and equipment in industrial site modernisations,\u201d Sipil\u00e4 explains. \u201cThe same safe and cost-effective operating model can be applied to demolitions as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the modernisation has been completed, the inventory twin can be updated and used for the purposes of site maintenance and future renovations or even in VR\/AR environments. \u201cThe benefits of the inventory twin are emphasised in clean spaces, for example, where the number of people making measurements or interrupting production needs to be minimised.\u201d<\/p>\n

The benefits of the method are highlighted, especially, in projects with great geographical distances. \u201cThe visual 3D model enables safe remote interaction and stakeholder meetings in the virtual environment,\u201d Sipil\u00e4 emphasises. \u201cTravelling to the site is no longer necessary.\u201d Different design fields can also utilise the inventory twin in their work.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
