The foundation sector is literally at the foundation of every construction project. Once an object is upright, the foundation disappears from view, and with it the craftsmanship, innovation and people that make it possible. The industry faces some tough, yet inspiring challenges.

Assessing flood defenses is all about the existing situation. The relevant failure mechanisms of the barrier are assessed based on the geometry to determine whether the barrier meets the standard. In practice, flood defenses often touch directly on roads, homes and other infrastructure. This is precisely where things get complicated: how do you properly assess the situation without shutting down traffic, jeopardizing safety or taking measurements for weeks on end? Engineering firm Iv uses its own advanced scanning vehicle to fully capture the environment, driving and without disruption. The result is an accurate and complete 3D registration of the ground level, the above-ground infrastructure and all objects in the environment, which gives designers and managers instant insight and allows them to make better informed choices.
