Trimble launches new technologies for Indian construction industry

The construction industry in India is getting more and more complex. But the key players in a project often aren’t using tools set up to serve a common goal which challenges communication and collaboration across the supply chain. Trimble Buildings, a part  of the Engineering Construction segment of US-based Trimble Navigation Ltd., responds to these developments by launching new and innovative technologies for the industry professionals.
 
The technologies were launched today in India by Sachin Ahir, Minister of State for Housing, Mining & Industry along with Shymalkumar Mukherjee, Secretary, PWD; Satish Gavai, CEO, MHADA and V. Radha, Joint Managing Director, CIDCO.
 
Bryn Fosburgh, Vice President, Trimble Buildings said, “India has a demonstrable commitment to advancing and expanding the infrastructure and buildings that serve the public. We see an excellent opportunity to help India’s construction companies and AEC professionals in this endeavour by bringing our state-of-the-art tools and technologies to the Indian market at this important time”.
 
The new technologies include a portfolio of synergistic software and hardware helping companies to digitize workflows and minimize rework across the Design-Build-Operate lifecycle.
 
The technologies enable industry professionals such as Architects, Structural Engineers, MEP Trades, General Contractors, and Building Owners to do their jobs better, while achieving greater accuracy, efficiency, and cost management.  These technologies, including BIM tools, are focused on optimizing collaboration so that managing the moving parts of complex building programs becomes easier and smarter. 
 
Risto Räty, EVP, Deputy CEO Tekla, General Manager, Trimble Buildings Structures Division said, “In the US, for example, using BIM is almost mandatory for the construction industry, which shows that the value of BIM helping the whole workflow has been better recognized. In India we aren’t quite there yet. Currently, many of the projects are still 2D based. At the same time complexity of construction industry is growing. The need for tools enabling open collaboration and serving a common goal is obvious.”
