 "Trimble Launches New Technologies For Indian Construction Industry")
The construction industry in India is getting more and more complex. But the key players in a project often aren’t using tools set up to serve a common goal which challenges communication and collaboration across the supply chain. Trimble Buildings, a part of the Engineering Construction segment of US-based Trimble Navigation Ltd., responds to these developments by launching new and innovative technologies for the industry professionals.
Bryn Fosburgh, Vice President, Trimble Buildings said, “India has a demonstrable commitment to advancing and expanding the infrastructure and buildings that serve the public. We see an excellent opportunity to help India’s construction companies and AEC professionals in this endeavour by bringing our state-of-the-art tools and technologies to the Indian market at this important time”.
The new technologies include a portfolio of synergistic software and hardware helping companies to digitise workflows and minimise rework across the Design-Build-Operate lifecycle.
The technologies enable industry professionals such as Architects, Structural Engineers, MEP Trades, General Contractors, and Building Owners to do their jobs better, while achieving greater accuracy, efficiency, and cost management. These technologies, including BIM tools, are focused on optimising collaboration so that managing the moving parts of complex building programs becomes easier and smarter.
Risto Räty, EVP, Deputy CEO Tekla, General Manager, Trimble Buildings Structures Division said, “In the US, for example, using BIM is almost mandatory for the construction industry, which shows that the value of BIM helping the whole workflow has been better recognised. In India we aren’t quite there yet. Currently, many of the projects are still 2D based. At the same time complexity of construction industry is growing. The need for tools enabling open collaboration and serving a common goal is obvious.”
The new technologies help all industry professionals across the Design-Build-Operate lifecycle; A Building Owner striving to estimate and manage construction costs; A General Contractor trying to streamline processes and keep everyone on track; An Architect needing to flexibly adapt designs as projects evolve; An Engineer or Fabricator wanting to leverage building information modelling (BIM) to create constructable 3D models; or an MEP contractor seeking to mitigate risk and improve profitability while being expected to do more with less.
