Visual Progress
Finding the time to walk an entire jobsite to monitor construction progress can be a real challenge. Hexagon puts technology to work to allow 24/7 remote access to visualize and monitor your jobsite progress.
Progress Reporting
Data collection and analysis for timely and accurate construction progress tracking can be laborious and error-prone with traditional, manual methods.
Hexagon's technology and services can mitigate your construction project's risk by performing automated progress analysis and reporting based on digital data capture from your site.
How it works:
Images are captured, mapped, and linked to floor plans or models for simple navigation from virtually any device with a web browser and internet connection. Streaming video can be viewed from webcams for real-time visibility or time-lapse videos for historical progress viewing.
Hexagon's Visual Progress workflow helps customers to gather visuals remotely from the construction site and enables them to interpret it, to actively manage project risks.
Visual Progress workflows are available in two service options:
A. Hexagon provides image capture, mapping images to floor plans, installation of webcams, and provides cloud-based visualization of all data in one location.
B. Hexagon provides 360 image capture, maps to 3D models, and provides cloud-based visualization of all data in one location.
How it works:
Earthwork
As-built reality capture data is analyzed against earthwork surfaces or previously captured as-built reality capture data using Hexagon technology with cloud-based visualization and reports providing more accurate results for easy communication amongst all stakeholders.
Hexagon's workflow solutions compare real-time earthwork as-builts against the project's existing grade, design intent, or interim UAV progress surfaces to determine scope of work, cost, productivity, and schedule requirements.
Earthwork Progress Reporting workflows are available in three service options:
A. Hexagon provides data capture and cut/fill analysis & reporting as a service.
B. Hexagon provides data capture as a service and trains customer on Hexagon's analysis workflow.
C. Hexagon trains customer on Hexagon's end-to-end capture and analysis workflow.
How it works:
Buildings
Hexagon provides workflow solutions to automatically generate progress reporting by floor, area, and trade by comparing reality capture data from the job site to the project's floor plans or models so customers
can monitor and update their project schedule.
Building Progress Reporting workflows are available in two service options:
A. Hexagon provides 360 image capture, maps photos to CAD floor plans or 3D models, analyzes actual progress vs. planned progress, and provides visualization & reports via a cloud collaboration platform. B. Customer provides 360 image capture; Hexagon analyzes actual progress vs. planned progress and provides visualization & reports via a cloud collaboration
How it works:
Scan to Plan & Scan to Model
For building renovations, documentation can often be outdated and unreliable for creating new designs.
For new buildings, the as-built state at the end of construction can no longer align with the design intent documents that need to be updated and handed over to the owner/operator.
Scan to Plan and Scan to Model workflows are available in 3 service options:
A. Hexagon provides laser capture, 2D/3D documentation creation, or correction as a service.
B. Hexagon provides laser capture and trains customers on Hexagon's drafting or modeling workflow.
C. Hexagon trains customers on Hexagon's end-to-end laser scan capture, drafting, and modeling workflow.
How it works:
Scan to Model Deviation
As-built reality capture data is automatically compared against 3D models using AI algorithms to digitally identify deviations and future clashes created by those deviations. Avoid change orders and mitigate risk with progressive scanning and digital quality assurance workflows delivered in the cloud.
Scan to Model Deviation workflows are available in 2 service options:
A. Hexagon provides laser capture, and automated deviation detection as a service.
B. Customer provides laser scan capture, and Hexagon provides automated deviation detection as a service.
