Digital transformation in geotechnical engineering
Digital transformation in geotechnical engineering
Dealing with a huge amount of information, and being constrained by deadlines it is very important, nowadays, to add efficiency in managing design and execution processes. The first step was to create a transparent framework in all the company’s departments, where everyone can access, share and review information, then to create and deliver automated and inter-connected workflows. Site visits simulated site organization or safety trainings are now made using virtual reality. To implement a digital model, it is necessary to know the tools, software suite that can create models, through which automated processes can be realized, interactive communication systems or for arranging and browsing information. Further, in the design department, many models of geotechnical structural solutions can be generated, studied, verified, adapted, and optimized in a very short time, due to automated generative design processes. All information is then stored in a cloud-based network and can be shared automatically through routine-based processes. Virtual reality helps also to understand site constraints, visualize design model applied on site, or to check built geotechnical structures on the site or in the office. Digital transformation in geotechnical engineering, is, in fact a complex and very exciting process for us, it is a strategic element of the company, which generates innovation processes and thus results in better services delivered to our partners.
