Norconsult looks to robotization to improve flow of data from the construction site

Customer Stories
Written By Tomas Jakobsen

Norconsult AS and BuildingPoint Scandinavia took robot dog Spot to 4 different construction sites to see how it performs in difficult terrain, confined spaces and conditions that might be hazardous for people! Watch the video interview with Norconsult's Thomas Angeltveit to learn more!

Robotization and digitalization are significant enablers for innovation. Both areas offer opportunities, but new challenges and introduction of new technology must happen in conjunction with good processes and PEOPLE.

BuildingPoint Scandinavia supports the industry, and see Spot as one of the most exciting technologies right now. There are many possible use cases for Spot, which we adressed in this blogpost, “Spot is here, but why?”, and the the first option available as turn-key solution right now is Spot as an "Autonomous Robot Scanner Solution".

Taking Spot to various live construction sites have given us valuable first hand experience of the capabilities of Spot along with the Trimble X7 Scanner.

Big thanks to Norconsult for contributing! Also thanks to Boston Dynamics and Trimble Inc.

Parametric workflows for complex geometry at the new Drammen City Bridge
Parametric workflows for complex geometry at the new Drammen City Bridge

The new Drammen City Bridge presents slim, clean lines and a welcoming expression for pedestrians and drivers alike. Behind the surface, however, lies curved and twisting geometry, congested reinforcement, and late design changes added to an already demanding design. From an early phase, the team at Degree of Freedom chose a fully parametric approach to make it all come together.

How to use the model across the steel fabrication process — connecting estimating, purchasing, production, and project management
How to use the model across the steel fabrication process — connecting estimating, purchasing, production, and project management

Many steel fabricators experience disconnected workflows and want a more connected experience where engineering, supply chain and production work together with a digital model at the center. Igor Guerra, which has more than 14 years of experience in the industry and first hand knowledge of the struggles, walks through some possibilities with Tekla Powerfab.
