How digital technologies are changing the construction industry
Many traditional construction professions have long since evolved into genuine high-tech professions in which modern IT technologies play an important role.
For example, our construction equipment operators who drive our excavators, wheel loaders, steam rollers or road pavers. At DEPENBROCK, we started equipping almost all of our hydraulic excavators with satellite-based navigation (GPS) and also with both 2D and 3D control back in 2017.
Using the 3D control system, we are able to use construction plans from our BIM (
Building Information Modeling
) directly to the on-board computer in the cabin. The system can thus determine the position of the excavator and compare it with the planning data. If the excavator takes the wrong route, the BIM can correct it directly via the machine hydraulics. Cool, right?
However, our excavators and special equipment can do even more than that.
real-time scanning of subsoil
we can provide all colleagues involved in a construction project with information in real time. Using artificial intelligence, they can see the current status of our construction projects and can therefore manage and optimize them much better.
Or with our technical draughtsmen. They used to draw up building and construction plans with rulers, compasses and pencils, but now use the job title System planner They can use the aforementioned BIM to digitize construction projects and create 2D or 3D drawings for the construction teams or for fitters and installers down to the smallest detail and output them on tablets. This means that everyone on the construction site can see where which parts need to be installed or serviced.
Building – today that is largely digital building!
