Reality Capture
Reality capture is an innovative technique that collects and processes various forms of data to create accurate digital representations of the physical world. By leveraging advanced technologies such as 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry, this method captures intricate details of objects and structures with remarkable precision. Not only is reality capture efficient and cost-effective, but it also significantly enhances the overall quality of projects.
At BuildSafe Nigeria Ltd, we harness the power of reality capture to drive design and planning efforts across diverse industries, including Oil and Gas, Shipping, Manufacturing, Power, Construction, Architecture, and Urban Planning. Our commitment to utilizing this technology has dramatically improved our quality control processes and strengthened our health, safety, and environmental (HSE) management practices.
Furthermore, we are dedicated to using reality capture for heritage preservation and disaster management, contributing to protecting and understanding our cultural and environmental assets. We go beyond just above-ground applications; our expertise in ground-penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography enables us to investigate buried objects effectively, ensuring a comprehensive approach to reality capture. Through these efforts, we strive to enhance project outcomes and promote sustainable practices in all our endeavours.

3D LASER SCANNING
3D Laser scanning involves capturing precise measurements of physical spaces to create a detailed point cloud, representing the scanned environment’s exact shapes and sizes. Photogrammetry, on the other hand, utilizes a series of photographs taken from different angles to generate 3D models based on visual data.
SCAN-TO-BIM
Scan-to-BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a cutting-edge process that converts 3D scan data into a comprehensive digital intelligent model. This transformation is achieved through advanced technologies, notably laser scanning and photogrammetry.
ASSET DIGITIZATION
Asset digitization presents an exciting opportunity to create digital representations of physical assets, such as buildings and equipment. By developing detailed digital models with integrated data sheets, we can effectively capture and analyse the characteristics and performance of these assets.
CITY MAPPING
City mapping is crucial in creating a comprehensive digital representation of a city’s infrastructure, geography, and critical features. This process involves systematically collecting and integrating vital data about the city’s layout, including roads, buildings, parks, and waterways. It also encompasses mapping the city’s infrastructure, including utilities and transportation systems.
DIGITAL TWINNING
A digital twin is a powerful tool that creates a virtual replica of a physical asset, process, or system. It allows organizations to simulate, predict, and optimize performance effectively. In industrial environments, digital twins leverage data from sensors and machines to accurately replicate the behaviour of various assets, including equipment and entire production lines.
STRUCTURAL MONITORING OF ASSEST
Building collapse is a recurring nightmare that claims lives, destroys property, and shatters communities. At BuildSafe, we believe that prevention is better than reaction. Our nonprofit venture, Structural Monitoring of Asset’s Health, harnesses the power of sensors and cutting-edge technology to detect potential structural issues before they become catastrophic.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE INVESTIGATION (NDT)
The underground environment presents a fascinating and complex landscape, filled with secrets that significantly influence construction projects, infrastructure development, and environmental sustainability. Understanding this hidden realm is key to executing successful initiatives. Traditional excavation methods can sometimes be invasive, costly, and time-consuming, leading to unintended damage to surrounding structures and ecosystems.
BULK MEASUREMENT
Bulk materials play a crucial role in industries like construction, logistics, and manufacturing, yet their measurement often presents challenges. Traditional methods can be time-consuming, inaccurate, and prone to material losses, impacting efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Leveraging advanced technologies like laser scanning. Precise bulk measurement ensures accurate inventory management, optimized logistics, and compliance with regulatory standards, all while minimizing operational disruptions.
