OUR APPROACH
Augmented reality
We use the latest Augmented Reality (AR) technology in project design and delivery to help us better understand challenges on site, identify design or programme clashes early and improve the safety of the construction phase.
Augmented Reality is an enhanced version of the real physical world that is achieved using digital visual elements, sound, or sensory stimuli delivered via technology. In terms of construction, it allows 3D digital models to be projected onto sites through a device, such as a tablet, phone, or headset.
Case study: Project Munio
We used Visual Live, an augmented reality tool, to visualise the position of construction elements and efficiently plan site works for Derby County Council. This helped the site team to better understand site constraints and plan the works safely as it was a very tight and complex site location.
Case study: Grimsby
On this scheme we used AR to visualise below ground services. Avoiding service strikes is critical when operating below ground, so having the ability to visualise services prior to digging makes avoidance much easier and improves excavation safety.
