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.

EXAMPLE

A good example of a BuildingScan user is Rochdale. They want to use PandScan as a prioritization tool for housing renovation and improvement.
