Benefits and Paybacks for Industrial Plant Design, Construction and Operation

January 8, 2018

This paper summarizes the economic benefits of applying 3D laser scanning technologies to the design, construction and operation of industrial plants. We examine how these technologies deliver four main benefits: risk mitigation; cost reduction and schedule compression; improved safety for capital project delivery, maintenance and operations; and how these benefits are realized and exploited by asset owner/operators, engineering/construction firms and 3D laser scanning service provider contractors.

Plasson USA

Plasson USA is a full-line manufacturer of pressure HDPE pipe fittings from ½ to 65 pipe sizes with pressures up to 320 psi and lower pressure pipes up to 120 in diameter. We manufacture Spirolite pipe, tanks and structures, which are recognized around the world as a cost-efficient, lightweight, and weather-resistant option to concrete pipe since it is more resistant to pressure, needs less maintenance and has a longer service life.

Unwrapping Construction Challenges and Private Mobile Networks

whitePaper | December 28, 2021

The construction industry is going through a digital revolution that is changing construction sites and in the future is predicted to look drastically different with autonomous machinery and drones, virtual reality and equipment and other digital innovations a common sight. This is not the introduction of technology for technology’s sake but to help the industry deal with some of its key challenges. Electronic Media Services (EMS) through its long history of working with partners in the construction industry knows it has and continues to find change and in particular digital change difficult.

The real story on scaling 3D construction printing

whitePaper | April 12, 2022

COBOD is a globally leading company within the 3D construction printing segment. One of a few companies in this segment that has been making headlinesin the press for the commercial projects completed by the many users of its 3D construction printers around the world. Among others, they have completed the first 3D printed building in Europe, The BOD, in 2017 and Europe’s first two- and three-story buildings when most still thought it would be impossible to 3D print multi-story houses.

Microclimate Simulation for Urban Design

whitePaper | June 9, 2022

The built environment needs continuous adaptation to global population changes, the adverse effects of climate change, and evolving occupant requirements. To meet these evolving challenges, architects and engineers require access to highfidelity design simulation tools to accurately predict complex behavior in buildings and cities. SimScale enables architects and engineers to integrate physics-based simulation into their entire design workflow starting from the earliest stages where critical design decisions are made. Rapid assessments of the microclimate impacts on design for example, are now possible using the simple and intuitive workflow in SimScale
