The challenge
BKK wanted to retrofit six older substations, mainly built in concrete, with inadequate or uncertain drawing bases. Traditionally this meant drilling or opening the structures — expensive and high risk.
What we did
Birdsview scanned the six substations, one per day, and delivered full 3D models with rebar mapping and key structural information — used both for planning adaptations and for creating new, precise 3D models of the stations.
“With Birdsview Concrete, we uncover information that would otherwise require physical intervention to obtain. This leads to faster decision-making, improved planning, and more efficient execution.”
