Processos e equipamentos necessários para a implementação de ferramentas digitais para monitoramento dos serviços no canteiro de obras

Abstract

The current scenario of civil construction has a low degree of technology and computerization when compared to other industries, a fact that generates problems in the flow of information and impairs performance indices. In addition to the low industrialization of the sector, there are limitations in the traditional methodologies used in the planning and control of production due to the low consideration of the variables existing in the construction site and in the manual process of obtaining the data. Therefore, the present work studies the mapping by photogrammetry, the mapping by laser scanning and the mapping by 3D scan of low complexity, as new tools for the elaboration of plans and the accomplishment of the monitoring of the activities, with the analysis of the processes and equipment involved for implementation, as well as the required costs, in addition to analyzing the variables present at the construction site that can impact the choice of a certain technology. At the end of the study, it can be seen that the technologies analyzed, called digital tools, have the potential to solve the aforementioned problems, having their use in civil construction as inevitable over the next few years. However, it can be observed that just choosing the most modern and technological devices does not guarantee the expected results, since there are essential previous procedures to allow the construction of an environment that promotes the good use of the information obtained. Thus, it was found that it is necessary to establish processes that ensure compatibility between the information produced throughout all stages of development of an enterprise, as well as structure a good planning for carrying out the data collection. In addition, one can observe the availability of equipment for the use of digital tools with a very diverse range of values, a fact that increases the possibilities of adopting these technologies. Finally, it is concluded that the success of the innovations presented by the present study depends on well-structured and widespread processes throughout the stages of project development, planning and monitoring of services, in addition to motivated and well-trained teams.
