Topographic network: infrastructure design

The distribution of topographic networks is an essential element in planning activities at any level

Topographic networks are the great basis for being able to execute all kinds of infrastructures based on preliminary studies and to be able to define the quality of the observations, the most suitable and appropriate action methodology for the achievement of the expected results.

The distribution of topographic networks is an essential element to give high precision to topography and cartography, on which the various activities that take place on the territory are projected, such as planning at any level. Network observation is carried out using the topographic network to densify the geodetic network. It is essential to create geodetic reference systems, designed in the pre-selection of vertices in the work area. The design created depends on:

  • The work to be done
  • The land where it is going to be carried out
  • The cost

The previous design of the topographic network must be checked in the field. Observed angles are corrected, giving different horizon turns in each station and the reduction of eccentric stations.

Once all the data has been compiled, the offsets must be made, which provide three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates or geodetic coordinates. The measurements must be organized by assessing the number of satellites, the geometry, among others.

Also noteworthy is the N.A.P (High Precision Leveling Network) through which the geodesic network can be linked to provide a greater height adjustment and improve its altimetry accuracy. In this way, the vertices of our topographic network can be designed, materialized and coordinated, constituting the bases of support among large multitudes of works. The great usefulness of topographic networks lies in the amount of information they offer about the territory, in addition to the value they provide.

At Nova Cartografia we are specialists in the materialization, observation and calculation of geodetic networks of the highest precision for large linear projects where reliability and accuracy are essential for their correct execution. Contact our team for more information.

Lean Agile: a potential with synergy in BIM

The integration of projects with BIM and Lean agile achieves early involvement in the construction sector

The industry's productivity keeps increasing thanks to its efficient production system, in which value is defined primarily from the customer's point of view.

One of the principles of Lean construction is to identify a value chain map of each product/service, so that the activities that subtracts value from the sequence can be identified.

A value stream is created, thus eliminating obstacles during the process, allowing the customer to dictate production, producing orders in a way that avoids unnecessary stock.

Continuous improvement helps to achieve shorter production cycles, obtaining ideal production and focusing efforts on customer value. This is how a value chain is achieved to make a project more efficient. The system of design, management and operation of BIM construction projects is used.

The goal of being able to experience a great decrease in waste to save time and money comes with Lean construction, in order to industrialize the sector and improve efficiency and productivity. The integration of projects with BIM and Lean agile achieves early involvement in the construction sector. BIM reduces errors and reveals a better understanding of higher-quality design and construction.

With Lean construction, value is maximized and project losses are reduced, so perfection is achieved so that all parties benefit. Once the flow is created, each step in Lean allows the customer to dictate production, through their orders to avoid unnecessary stock. Value is defined from the customer's perspective, creating a constant flow of value through optimal processes.

BIM and Lean go hand in hand to be able to cover the needs by themselves, providing more effective procedures for constant improvement. Lean equipment allows flows to be optimized and BIM to automate them, being considered a chain work.

The potential of using BIM

At Nova Cartografía we carry out BIM projects for architecture and engineering. We rely on the latest technology in laser scanner instruments to take data on the current state of topography and the different disciplines of civil infrastructure. In this way we obtain a point cloud of all surfaces, from which we obtain 3D BIM models.

Personal, instrumental and software

The most efficient way to generate a 3D BIM model of the current state of the infrastructure is with laser scanning instruments. Nova Cartografía has its own instruments and the necessary software so that our specialized technicians obtain the best results as soon as possible.

Planning and design 

With the implementation of BIM projects, design and construction teams can execute their work much more efficiently and capture the data produced through this process.

 

Operations and construction

The production team shares information and works collaboratively at all stages of the project to ensure efficiency and optimal work timelines.

Multiple functionalities

With the methodology that allows collaborative work, a large task of conservation, rehabilitation and maintenance of facilities and architectural complexes is carried out in an optimized way.

Production control

An internal process of continuous improvement is that of monitoring and control in which the progress of the project is tracked, reviewed and regulated. It is a key indicator of achievement to identify areas where changes or improvements are required and to generate reports of the time consumed that will serve as an estimate at the conclusion of the project.

Project development

From the beginning of the project, the definition of the deliverables is developed: these baselines will be used to track and regulate progress and performance in order to identify the areas in which changes to be specified are required.

The team responsible for BIM during the work will update it with the definitions of the awarded suppliers, the status of the elements already executed will also be updated against those that are not and those executed in that time will be categorized.

Times

The traceability of projects allows you to obtain the total time dedicated to the design to know the production capacity and the real performance of each activity.

The use of BIM is a differentiating point in the bidding phase of works. BIM contributes to the creation of smarter spaces with greater adaptability.

Large advances

BIM is an advantage for operations and maintenance activities, incorporating intelligence and efficiency into processes.  The efficiency of its processes contributes to the improvement of the connection of teams and work in the cloud at each stage of the project.
