BIM - AR VR Laser and Drones

 Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or other type of infrastructure. It is used to design, construct, and manage buildings and different types of infrastructure more efficiently.

In recent years, the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) has become increasingly popular in the construction industry as a way to visualize and interact with BIM models. AR and VR allow stakeholders to see a realistic representation of the building or infrastructure in a digital environment and can be used to identify potential issues or conflicts before they become a problem.

One of the significant benefits of using AR and VR in conjunction with BIM is that it allows for better communication and collaboration among project stakeholders. For example, architects and engineers can use AR and VR to see how their designs will look in the real world, and make changes as needed. Contractors can use AR and VR to better understand the construction process and identify potential issues, and owners can use AR and VR to see what the finished product will look like before it is built.

In addition to AR and VR, the use of laser scanners and drones has become increasingly popular in the construction industry to create and update BIM models. Laser scanners use lasers to measure and map the physical features of a building or other type of infrastructure, while drones can be used to capture aerial imagery and other data that can be used to create a BIM model.

The use of laser scanners and drones can help to streamline the design and construction process, as it allows for more accurate and up-to-date data to be used in the BIM model. It can also help to identify potential issues or conflicts before they become a problem, resulting in cost savings and a more efficient construction process.

Overall, the use of AR, VR, laser scanners, and drones in conjunction with BIM has the potential to revolutionize the way we design, construct, and manage buildings and other types of infrastructure. It allows for better communication and collaboration among stakeholders and helps to identify potential issues or conflicts before they become a problem. As such, it is likely that we will see even greater adoption of these technologies in the construction industry in the coming years.

Great Man-Made River (GMR)

Libya's Great Man Made River: The Great Man-Made River in Libya is one of the most ambitious Civil Engineering Project in history of mankind.  In the year 1953, the Libya Government found out not only vast oil reserves but also vast quantity of fresh water locked under the strata, most of the water was trapped around 7000-30000 years ago which is divided in 4 different basins. The first basin is named Kufra basin which is neat Egypt Border which covers almost 35000 sq kilometer which is quite deep around 2000 m deep. The other basin is in Sirte Basin which cover 10000 sq kilometer, third in Murzuk Basin and the last in Jabal Fezzan Basin covering 4800 sq kilometers area.  The GMR project will be used to transfer water to North of the country to provide water for irrigation purpose for more than 6 million  people. This will be a changing point  for Libya and the Colonel Muammar Gaddafi called it the Eighth Wonder of World. The work started in 1984 of the project and estimated to be
