A TWD 18.750 million project in Taiwan involved updating and improving 1,251 meters of deteriorating sidewalks in the Qidu district of Keelung City. As the engineering consultants, Huaiban Engineering Consulting faced design, planning, and construction challenges. They originally used third-party 3D design software; however, it had resulted in time-consuming efforts to draw the surroundings into the models. They realized that they needed to digitally capture the existing site and generate a 3D reality mesh to effectively plan the redesign of the sidewalks.

Huaiban Engineering Consulting selected ContextCapture to generate 3D models of the surrounding area, visualizing differences in road elevation, and overlaid the reality meshes with the design model. Using Bentley’s reality modeling software shortened modeling time, enabling them to quickly identify current conditions and design issues to improve upcoming construction works and material quantity calculations.
