Ongoing Projects
On-Site Digitalization
Adottiamo un approccio avanzato alla digitalizzazione dei processi, con l’obiettivo di migliorare efficienza, qualità e sostenibilità in ogni fase del progetto.
In collaborazione con partner ed esperti, abbiamo sviluppato una piattaforma CDE (Common Data Environment) BIM-based. Il cuore del sistema è il modello 3D, da cui nascono e si alimentano tutti i processi: progettazione, steel design, produzione, controllo qualità, pianificazione e gestione del cantiere.
Il nostro obiettivo è l’adozione di un approccio paperless, in cui la documentazione cartacea sia limitata agli elementi essenziali e tutto il flusso informativo sia centralizzato e interrogabile digitalmente.
BIM Corners on Sites
To make the model accessible in every operational phase, we are experimenting with introducing BIM corners within sites: physical or mobile access points (such as fixed stations, totems, or tablets) that enable real-time viewing and querying of the 3D model.
Digitalization for Sustainability
La digitalizzazione ci consente inoltre di valutare in modo accurato l’impatto ambientale delle materie prime sin dalle fasi iniziali della progettazione. Questo approccio ci permette di selezionare materiali più sostenibili, bilanciando criteri ambientali ed economici, e migliorando la qualità delle decisioni progettuali.
