Project Overview
The construction of a large-scale airport, which is planned to be one of Asia’s largest, demands advanced monitoring and communication systems. The project required seamless coordination to track day-to-day progress, manage on-site issues, and ensure the timely resolution of snags. OpticVyu provided its 360-degree image-based monitoring platform, which became essential in streamlining communication, managing project activities, and maintaining a detailed record for future audits and planning.
Challenges Faced and How OpticVyu Addressed Them
The scale and complexity of the airport construction presented several operational challenges. OpticVyu’s monitoring solution played a crucial role in overcoming these difficulties and ensured smooth project execution.
1. Managing Remote Stakeholders and Site Coordination
- Challenge: With multiple stakeholders and remote teams involved, maintaining seamless coordination and visibility across the project was challenging. On-site visits were not always feasible, resulting in potential communication delays.
- Solution: OpticVyu’s 360-degree platform provided real-time remote access to site visuals, keeping all stakeholders informed and reducing the need for frequent site visits.
2. Tracking Progress Across a Large-Scale Site
- Challenge: Monitoring progress across an expansive site and comparing it with planned milestones posed significant challenges.
- Solution: OpticVyu integrated its monitoring solution with BIM models, enabling project managers to visually compare site progress with design plans, helping them detect and resolve discrepancies early.
3. Efficient Report Generation for Timely Decisions
- Challenge: Compiling manual progress reports was time-consuming, delaying decision-making processes.
- Solution: OpticVyu’s automated report generation provided timely insights, accelerating decisions and allowing project managers to focus on critical tasks.
OpticVyu’s 360-degree Image Monitoring Solution
OpticVyu deployed its 360-degree image-based monitoring technology to create a comprehensive visual record of the airport’s construction process. The solution enabled remote monitoring of site conditions, fostering transparency and streamlining communication among stakeholders.
To ensure the accuracy of image captures, two engineers were stationed full-time at the construction site, capturing high-resolution images from strategic locations. These images were updated regularly, allowing stakeholders to monitor the latest developments remotely.
Key Features of the Solution
BIM Integration
OpticVyu’s platform integrated seamlessly with BIM systems, providing a side-by-side comparison of real-time site visuals and design models. This ensured that progress aligned with plans and allowed for quick detection of deviations.
Automatic Report Generation
The platform automatically generated reports based on captured images, offering stakeholders regular progress updates without manual effort.
Progress Comparison and Review
Historical image comparison enabled stakeholders to review construction progress over time and assess site developments effectively.
Impact and Benefits
- Remote Accessibility: The 360-degree platform provided easy access to site visuals, eliminating the need for frequent visits and keeping all teams informed.
- Improved Transparency and Accountability: Continuous image-based monitoring ensured that activities were visible to all stakeholders, promoting accountability across the project.
- Faster Decision-Making: BIM integration and real-time comparisons enhanced decision-making processes, enabling quicker responses to project needs.
- Cost and Time Efficiency: Automated report generation saved time for project managers, allowing them to focus on high-priority tasks.
