Using 3D Scanning for Ensuring Site Safety

3D Scanning for Site Safety allows project managers to accurately document potentially hazardous areas using 3D scanning to ensure site safety during the construction phase. Detailed 3D models identify and address potential safety risks before construction. Virtual simulations train workers on safety procedures, reducing the need for manual inspections and minimizing accidents during construction.

Clash Detection

Using 3D Scanning for Clash Detection allows site safety technicians to capture more accurate data, minimizing errors and costly rework. It helps identify conflicts between building systems, improving project coordination and saving time.

Confirm Construction and Sub-contractor Quality

By utilizing 3D scanning, contractors can ensure sub-contractors follow project designs, leading to high-quality construction. This technology provides accurate verification of construction quality, visual records for progress tracking, and reduces the need for manual inspections.
