Solution for Modular Construction

The rapid growth of populations and economies has boosted the demand for large engineering projects all over the world and in almost all industries. Mining, oil and gas, civil construction and the marine industries are examples of sectors in which large structures are an important factor.

The assembly of big structures can be complex and subject to loss due to errors inherent in typical manufacturing processes. By combining Hexagon’s solutions for metrology and dimensional analysis, our solution for modular construction provides the capability to check dimensional deviations during the manufacturing and assembly processes, enabling immediate feedback to project and planning teams who can apply corrections as needed.

The solution helps anticipate and solve problems, providing automated adjustments in different areas including design, logistics planning and operations. This increases productivity and reduces rework and scrapping.
