Kjeldaas and Novorender: Revolutionizing Field Work with Digital Innovation

The Challenge: From Determination to Digitization

Founded in 1971, Kjeldaas began its journey with a single machine and an unwavering spirit. Over the years, they grew exponentially, with a team of 160 employees dedicated to road, water, and drainage projects. As the construction landscape evolved, so did the challenges. Kjeldaas faced the task of streamlining its extensive projects, ensuring that vital 3D models, orthophoto, comments, and other critical data were readily accessible to all stakeholders. There was a pressing need for a unified platform that could not only house this information but also allow for easy measurements in real-time, right in the field.

The Solution: A Touch of Technology with Novorender

Kjeldaas turned to Novorender, integrating its powerful BIM viewer hub into their operations. This partnership yielded transformative results:

• Unified BIM Platform: With Novorender, Kjeldaas established a single, cohesive platform where 3D models, orthophotos, comments, issues, and more were centrally stored. This repository could be effortlessly accessed by anyone associated with the project, ensuring timely and transparent information flow.
• Real-time Area Measurements: The true innovation, however, was in how field measurements were conducted. Workers no longer needed complex equipment or extensive calculations for area measurements. With a tablet in hand, they could swiftly measure areas by simply using their fingers, bringing a remarkable boost in efficiency and accuracy to on-ground operations. And with the promise of soon being able to calculate cubic meters, the potential for on-site advancements seems limitless.
