However, advances in technology mean <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/handheld-scanner-for-construction\/92072\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D laser scanning<\/a> now allows them to identify high or low points on a concrete slab within minutes of it being poured or screeded &#8211; and in many cases, correct those areas while the concrete is still workable.<\/p>\n<p>This means faster quality verification, less time spent on site, project costs are kept to a minimum and the contractor has images and documentation proving that the slab complies with FF\/FL standards.<\/p>\n<p>The ebook offers a step-by-step walkthrough of the application of 3D reality capture technology on concrete workflows using the Faro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/laser-survey-control\/82094\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Focus Laser Scanner<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faro.com\/en\/Products\/Software\/BuildIT-Construction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BuildIT Construction Software<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Step one starts just before the initial pour, when the scan team can determine where, and how many time, they will need to scan the slab.<\/p>\n<h3>Creating a high-definition 3D model<\/h3>\n<p>Then the scan is performed, and repeated as often as needed to ensure sufficient coverage of the pour slab, though typically only one scan is needed.<\/p>\n<p>Once the scanning is complete, the reality capture data is compiled and imported into the software to create a high-definition 3D model that can be analysed in detail.<\/p>\n<p>This allows operators to easily identify &#8211; with pinpoint accuracy &#8211; any dips or swells in the slab, which the finishing crew can then patch up while the concrete is still workable.<\/p>\n<p>This ultimately saves time &#8211; as much as 24 to 48 hours &#8211; and money, as well as reducing waste and means post-slab construction work can begin earlier.<\/p>\n<p>With technology rewriting how concrete floors are finished, it is easy to see why 3D data capture is becoming an increasingly common practice in the industry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This ebook from imaging, measurement and realisation technology specialist Faro offers the ultimate guide to using 3D technology in concrete construction workflows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":99782,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172439],"ebook_category":[172216,172215],"ebook_tag":[172298,172300,172299],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-99781","1":"ebook","2":"type-ebook","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"stakeholder_rel_tag-faro"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The ultimate guide to 3D technology in concrete construction workflows<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This ebook from imaging, measurement and realisation technology specialist Faro offers the ultimate guide to using 3D technology in concrete construction workflows\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/ebook\/3d-technology-concrete-construction\/99781\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The ultimate guide to 3D technology in concrete construction workflows\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This ebook from imaging, measurement and realisation technology specialist Faro offers the ultimate guide to using 3D technology in concrete construction workflows\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/ebook\/3d-technology-concrete-construction\/99781\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
