BUILDINGSCAN
FOUNDATION RISKS MAPPED WITH BUILDINGSCAN
The BuildingScan helps housing associations and other property managers identify foundation risks. The product is a decision support tool used by structural engineers to prioritize property maintenance. To do this, we combine the measurement of millimeter-accurate subsidence from satellite data with open data from 3D-BAG, and established building guidelines to identify risks at the property level.
INCLUDED IN THE BUILDINGSCAN
- The "buildings" application.
- Alert on trend changes.
- Linkage to construction guidelines.
- Our traffic light model for indicative foundation risks.
- The settlement archive.
TYPICAL ISSUES
- Prioritizing maintenance of buildings.
- A joint approach with other (sustainability) investments.
- Providing information to residents.
