Working smart at digital show

One our directors, Simon Avery, saw the shape of the future at the Digital Construction Week Show at ExCeL London.

Simon represented Three Sixty DS at the annual event dedicated to digital construction, engineering, design, manufacturing and operations.

He was able to see and try out some of the innovative tools and processes moulding the future of the built environment.

It’s important for us to attend such shows so we can keep ahead of the curve both for the benefit of our clients and so we can meet likeminded professionals with whom we can share information about the latest trends and opportunities.

Simon is pictured trying out some of the latest visualisation technology and exploring the show with Jack Parry and Daniel Kent, both from Mitie.

Among the displays was a demonstration of Boston Dynamics ‘Spot’ agile mobile robot, whose capabilities include performing surveys, inspections and scans remotely.

We are already using cutting-edge Faro Technologies 3D measurement, imaging and realization technologies.

Its high-precision scanners allow for exact 3D digital twins of buildings, structures and environments to be created, viewed and interpreted in multiple location anywhere in the UK and world.

This has been driving the BIM journey both at our own firm and for others as we also act as one of the few UK distributors for FARO.

We use the latest CAD software and have been deploying drones for many of our projects, especially in our surveying services.

The Digital Construction Week Show returns on June 5-6 next year. With the pace of technological change, it will be fascinating to see the next generation of innovations in our industry in 12 months time.

FARO - Imagining the Future

FARO Technologies provides the most precise 3D measurement, imaging and realization technologies for the property and construction industries today.

Its next-generation systems are transforming design, architecture, engineering, surveying and many other sectors worldwide.

And we have the technology at Three Sixty DS – both for use in our professional services for clients and for sale as one of the American firm’s few UK distributors.

FARO’s high-precision scanners allow for exact 3D digital twins of buildings, structures and environments to be created, viewed and interpreted in multiple location anywhere in the UK and world.

Its cutting-edge technology saves time and money across the project timeline from survey and pre-design stages through to design, implementation, construction and completion – achieving greater quality results and customer service.

FARO’s technology is advancing all the time, with latest innovations include first of a kind hybrid reality capture capabilities on its Focus Premium Scanner combing the accuracy of its 3D laser sabs with the speed of a mobile panoramic camera.

One of the great advantages of FARO is that its 3D scans replicate every asset within in building or environment – including fittings, pipework, boilers, engineering works, ventilation systems and more.

Intelligent CAD graphics with this engineering data can be delivered to the client in a common data environment. Virtual reality and fly-throughs can also be created.

It means all data is collected in one place, giving the client a better user experience and the ability to make informed decisions using highly accurate and comprehensive information.

This may be for fire compliance, maintenance, refurbishment, architecture, mechanical and electrical engineering, zero carbon and energy saving initiatives or other projects with which Three Sixty DS can provide support.

We’ve position FARO at the heart of our Building Information Modelling (BIM) journey to provide the very best solutions for our clients.
