The Vital Role of Integrating On-Site Visits and BIM Modeling for Parapet Inspections & Repairs
14 AUGUST 2024
Successful inspection and repair of parapets and terraces depend heavily on the seamless integration of on-site visits and coordination with our BIM (Building Information Modeling) team.
At M+S, our team employs point cloud technology to create accurate models. This advanced approach allows us to efficiently calculate the areas and lengths required for repairs on wall finishes, copings, and post installations. Many of these repairs are necessary due to leaks, A common issue in cities with weather like New York’s.
For today’s particular project, leaks were found at the posts installed atop the parapet copings. These leaks have caused significant damage to the terrace partition finishes and the copings themselves. Proper waterproofing of roof penetrations and wall appurtenances is essential, as it is one of the most common causes of finish and structural deterioration due to leaks.
Precision with Point Cloud Technology 📐 Point cloud technology provides a precise digital representation of terrace levels. This enables our team to plan necessary repairs accurately, ensuring that areas and lengths are measured correctly for effective wall finishes, copings, and waterproofing installation.
Streamlined Planning and Execution 🛠️ Coordination between on-site inspections and the BIM team facilitates efficient planning and execution. By integrating data from point cloud models, we can quickly address any discrepancies between the digital model and actual site conditions, minimizing delays and ensuring smooth repairs.
Significance of Proper Waterproofing 🚧 Proper waterproofing of roof penetrations or appurtenances is crucial to prevent leaks and subsequent damage. Inadequate waterproofing can lead to major issues, including damage to terrace partition finishes and structural elements.
