Virtual Design Construction

Virtual Design Construction (VDC) is an innovative way to approach infrastructure projects. R2T has the capability to utilize integrated building information modeling (BIM) throughout the entire life cycle of a project, developing and tracking actual progress against expected results. The digital assets developed during the planning, design, and construction of the project can then be carried into operations ensuring the infrastructure assets are performing efficiently and effectively. R2T has the in-house capacity to utilize VDC at various phases of your project, utilizing:

All successful projects start with an accurate representation of the land. R2t can provide point clouds, high resolution orthomosiac maps, volumetric measurements and calculate surface areas.

3D spatial coordination is a collaboration process where we combine fabrication level models from different trades such as Mechanical, Electrical, Fire protection and plumbing into a 3D environment.  This allows project teams to identify conflicts in three-dimensional space. This process reduces construction cost and time. But also increases productivity and eliminate rework. Additionally, the owner will have the ability to visualize the mechanical systems before they are built.

Laser scanning is a highly accurate method to capture the details of an existing building or consturciton site by using laser light (LiDAR), advanced scanners create 3D representations known as point clouds.

Laster Scanning Benefits & Applications:

• High precision as-built of existing conditions
• Fewer physical site visits
• Decreased field time
• Increased visibility and understanding
• Reduced rework
• Validation of BIM design model
• Enhance coordination of systems and utilities
• Measure difficult to reach areas safely
• Quality control during construction

The emergence of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and related technologies are transforming the design and construction industry and continues to reshape how we deliver projects today. BIM helps define dimensions and spatial relationships, avoid interference, assure clearance, develop material takeoffs, etc.
