Virtual facade inspection of the Klokgebouw in Eindhoven Traditional inspection methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A traditional way to inspect is to be physically present at a part that needs to be inspected. Since the Klokgebouw does not have the ideal shape and height to accommodate the ladder, other ways are needed to carry out the inspection. This can be done, for example, with a crane and an inspector in the man box. This allows difficult corners to be reached. While these methods can be effective, they are not always practical or cost-efficient, especially for large, complex buildings such as the Clock Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Innovative inspection using drones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the context of technology and optimization, there are other ways to carry out the inspection. Advances in drone technology and digital image processing now make inspections much more efficient and smarter. We believe that the inspection of the roof edge of the Klokgebouw can be done \u201csmarter\u201d and cheaper. We used the drone for this. We can take pictures of the building with drones. These recordings can then be converted into a 3D model. This is done using the photogrammetry technique. This can then be used to carry out analyzes and (digital) inspections. As a product, a satellite photo has been generated of the current situation. The following (major) advantages can be mentioned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Result<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The flight took a total of 3 hours. We were able to take more than 1,000 photos of all facade surfaces. A 3D model has been generated from these photos using advanced technology. This model is not only photorealistic, but also serves as a basis for the virtual inspection. Thanks to this virtual model we can examine the building in detail without being physically present!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The virtual model has shown that repairs have already been carried out on the facade several times. This indicates that there were maintenance issues for an extended period of time. For a building that is almost 100 years old, this can be explained logically. There have also been a number of worrying findings revealed by the innovative inspection. It has become apparent that the roof edge is not level, an indication that (concrete) pieces have fallen down or are about to fall. These findings are recorded in a so-called inspection report and handed over to the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Klokgebouw was built in 1928. This famous building has a rich history and is representative of almost a century of architectural heritage. This means that the building has been standing for almost 100 years. Constructions are designed to last a long time. For concrete this is between 50 and 100 years. To keep the Klokgebouw attractive and maintained, it is necessary to extend the lifespan of the building and therefore to carry out maintenance. It has also emerged that concrete parts are falling from the roof edge. This is very dangerous! The risk of falling debris means that a thorough inspection and repair is urgent. Enough reasons to make a complete overview of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
