AR can be a very useful tool on construction sites. Take a look for yourself! In this little fun (but also practical) video, Vaiko Veeleid, our CEO, demonstrates, what the possibilities are. 👀But did you know...... It is also possible to take real, accurate measurements with a smart-device such as a smartphone or tablet. The simplicity in this method makes it so, that even a construction builder, with no previous education on geodesy, can take on-site measurements for as-built scans, for example. The possibilities lie very deep in this technology and the benefits go a long way for companies, that require constant services from geodesy companies. How practical is all of this, you may ask? Vaiko Veeleid will be presenting this topic at BIMsummit Estonia 2025, where he will go into detail about the reality of this technology. 🚫You DO NOT want to miss this! ℹ️ For more information about the BIMsummit event and to find out when Vaiko is presenting, check out the official event page at www.bimsummit.ee 👉 Can't make it to BIMsummit 2025, but you are still interested in this topic?

When Siigur Restaurant and the City of Tartu began planning an exclusive new restaurant, they knew the location had to be special. The historic Tartu Cathedral, with its grand architecture, was the perfect choice. The people at KOKO architects took on the challenge of designing a space that would respect the building's rich history while creating a memorable dining experience. ❗However, the cathedral's age and irregular structure posed significant challenges. Built centuries ago, Tartu Cathedral has undergone many changes over time, leading to irregular walls, varying support columns, and crumbling sections. These factors made traditional measurement methods insufficient. To create a design that would fit seamlessly into the cathedral’s unique structure without compromising its historical integrity, KOKO architects needed precise data. This, is where 3Di came in, to help. We had previously done surveying, threw photogrammetry, at the site of Tartu Cathedral. Meaning, 3Di was able to provide KOKO architects with the essential digital twin of the building, which they then could use, to design at a realistic accuracy level. Check out the model of the church here: https://skfb.ly/oIZwA ⚒Tools, which we used: DJI M300 RTK Drone with Zenmuse P1 Camera: Utilized for aerial photogrammetry to capture the larger structure and provide a comprehensive overview. Sony Handheld Camera: Used to capture smaller, intricate details that the drone might have missed. ✨From the collected data, we created: Point Cloud: A detailed 3D representation of the cathedral’s structure, consisting of "points" which are represented by a geometric location, capturing every nuance and irregularity. Mesh Model: A high-resolution digital twin that accurately reflects the cathedral's unique architectural features. The mesh model is what was used to provide KOKO architects with the precise information they needed to design a space that integrates perfectly with the cathedral’s complex unorthodox structure, all while preserving its historical integrity. From the video, you can see the results: a stunning, delicate approach to integrating modern design within the historic Tartu Cathedral, showcasing how innovative technology and architectural expertise can breathe new life into ancient structures while preserving their timeless beauty. 🎞 by KOKO architects As Andrus Kõresaar, Creative Director at KOKO architects, noted, digital models like these are becoming essential tools for working with historic buildings, helping architects understand and address the unique challenges posed by such diverse structures. 👏A special thank you goes out to the City of Tartu, KOKO architects, Andrus Kõresaar, Liis Lindvere and Kaur Stöör for this amazing project.

🤔 What mysterious mist is this? This is a point cloud in the aggregate model. The point cloud simplifies construction organization by combining it with the project model and crane lifting zones. With it, you can see if a crane can lift materials from a temporary road (which is not in the project but is in the point cloud) to the right place on the construction site from a vehicle parked on it.

👨💻 We can predict the future! At the start of this year, the Paldiski cliffside collapsed, destroying a popular viewpoint and creating a rather dangerous situation. Could this have been predicted? ✅Absolutely. This incident highlights the crucial need for advanced methods in predicting and preventing such hazards. But what if we already have the tools to do so? Long before the collapse, our team at 3Di conducted an aerial survey of the cliff using the DJI Matrice 300 RTK, equipped with a P1 35mm camera. Reviewing our models, we observed that the faults and areas of instability were detectable back then, indicating a potential collapse was inevitable. ⛰ Take a look at the before model of the cliff: https://skfb.ly/oPPIZ Our survey revealed critical faults in the structure, including visible cracks in the cliffside. This demonstrates how early detection through modern surveying can provide crucial information for timely interventions and safety measures. In addition to our efforts, the TalTech Estonian Maritime Academy Waterway Safety research group (Dr. Inga Zaitseva-Pärnaste and Dr. Heiko Herrmann) has been monitoring changes of the Pakri cliff since 2015. Their ongoing research provides invaluable data on coastal dynamics. By combining their expertise with advanced technologies, they have significantly contributed to the safety and preservation of the coastal environment here, in Estonia. 📹 Before and after video animated by Andrei Bljahhin Watch the video comparing the cliff before and after the collapse. It was very fortunate that no one was present at the viewpoint that day. Science and technology, when used the correct way, can indeed predict the future. Through advanced aerial surveying and continuous monitoring, we can detect potential hazards and implement safety measures, ensuring incidents like the Paldiski cliff collapse are avoided or at the very least, planned out. #technology #innovation #3d #monitoring

Check out this digital twin of Puski Church we created. In the video, you’ll see the church tower standing tall but missing its iconic bell. This is because the bell was previously missing for 50 years. The bell is now rightfully returned to its tower, but don´t you sometimes wish you could roll back time to check out previous stages of construction? ✨THIS IS WHY DIGITAL TWINS ROCK! Digital twins are like having a time machine for historical sites. They let us: 👉 Capture history by perfectly preserving details before changes, allowing us to also go back in time, sort of.... 👉 Learn & explore by making history lessons super engaging (The #digitaltwin can be combined with #AR to create new experiences). 👉 Share our heritage globally by letting everyone, everywhere, at any time, enjoy our heritage. Check out the model of Puski Church for yourself: https://skfb.ly/6WDDp 3D Animation of the model was done by Andrei Bljahhin

✨ Renovating apartment buildings in Ukraine "Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV) launched a collaboration project with Tallinn University of Technology, which aims to roll out prefabricated deep renovations of the apartment buildings in Zhytomyr, Ukraine." An important initiative for the thermal modernization of three multi-story buildings, funded by the Estonian government, has begun. These buildings are now undergoing a thorough inspection, which marked the first phase of the project's implementation. The inspection involves using drones, 3D scanners and photographic equipment to identify the properties and condition of the apartment buildings. 👉 This was carried out by our teams' experts, Vaiko Veeleid and Kristjan Lauge. This project aims to support the European Union's set Energy Efficiency Directive for 2030 and help lower energy consumption and heating costs, helping to improve the living conditions of residents and reduce the overall negative environmental impact. 🤝 Estonia's support for Ukraine has been significant and should serve as an example for other countries. However, we must also address our own challenges at home. Currently, Estonia is not meeting the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Directive and needs to renovate three times the current volume of buildings to avoid fines from the European Commission. We have about 54 million square meters of housing that need renovation—a substantial task. At the start of the year, the Kliimaministeerium / Ministry of Climate of Estonia updated the energy efficiency requirements for buildings to ensure the climate resilience of Estonian buildings and provide a more accurate overview of their energy usage. Increasing the volume of renovation projects is essential in Estonia, and success depends on mutual cooperation. Our goal should be not only to meet the directive's requirements but also to improve the quality of life for our residents.
