What Makes Pre-Pour Scanning So Important for a Concrete Sawing Contractor?
Pre-pour scanning is an innovative and modern way to avoid any unwanted complications within concrete sawing.
When property owners and construction professionals go to update buildings, they face countless challenges and other curveballs. Complications on a worksite during construction are usually unearthed down the line, and unexpected deviations in printed plans could add even bigger challenges to your renovation project. Your concrete sawing contractor could face complex tasks as they try to make holes and spaces for upgrades without hitting any unexpected obstacles in concrete slabs. While extensive planning and structural regulations could take some of the guesswork out of concrete sawing, there is no telling what is inside an existing concrete structure. Pre-pour scanning is an innovative and modern way to avoid any unwanted complications within concrete sawing, and building owners, stakeholders, and contractors all benefit from this technology. Read on to learn more!
Pre-Pour Scanning Creates a Real Roadmap for Success
Architects and builders of the past depended on physical blueprints and other hand-drawn plans, and computer modeling has changed how structures are built and conceptualized. Pre-pour scanning is a new method that makes construction easier, quicker, and more economical over the life of the building. With pre-pour scanning, structures are scanned and photographed during construction to create a 3D model of any pipes, rebar, embeds, and other supports that exist in and around a poured concrete slab. Professionals use high-definition cameras and two lasers to take accurate images, and the information they gather is then translated into a “Point Cloud” consisting of millions of different data points. From there, experts create 3D images of the structures. This will effectively capture any objects and other crucial structural elements that could differ from the structure’s stated plans, providing accurate measurements that are within two millimeters.
Pre-Pour Scanning Helps Concrete Sawing Contractors with Work
The models and images created with pre-pour scanning are invaluable for all types of tradespeople and contractors. With clear documentation available, your concrete sawing contractor and other kinds of professionals who work on your building in the future could easily avoid obstacles and other features that would otherwise be unexpected. Pre-pour scanning eliminates the need for any ground penetrating radar or X-ray scanning, is more accurate than both X-ray and ground penetrating radar, and can also identify non-metallic items like PVC and rebar. Investing in pre-pour scanning allows construction professionals to anticipate any complications and adjust their plans accordingly, all without having to cut an open wall or concrete slab. This results in projects that are done quicker, cheaper, and easier. However, using this valuable data requires a bit of foresight. Pre-pour scanning can only be done before specific concrete slabs are poured, so building owners and other decision-makers have to incorporate this technology early on to receive the biggest benefit.
