Gothenburg is Sweden’s second-largest city—and home to some of the country’s most important economic and industrial corporations, including AstraZeneca and Volvo. In a decades-long plan to transform the already-crucial city into Northern Europe’s most essential commercial and logistics destination, nearly $100 billion is being invested into Gothenburg.
From Reconstruct.
And the crown jewel of Gothenburg’s new frontier? Citygate, the Nordic region’s tallest office building. Slated for completion in 2023, Skanska—the world’s fifth-largest construction company—is handling the tower’s commercial construction. And to provide all project stakeholders with optimal, remote construction project monitoring, Skanska has partnered with Reconstruct and Insta360 cameras to transform construction footage into a precise, as-built digital twin of the job site.
How Skanska utilized remote construction monitoring
Plans for the 36-story, 144-meter tall, WELL and LEED-certified Citygate building have always been complex. Between breathtaking design and a long list of environmental and wellness requirements for air quality, lighting, and more, Citygate stakeholders need to ensure construction on all 42,000 leasable square meters of the tower is not just proceeding as scheduled but being built as planned.
Skanska’s remote construction monitoring strategy consists of three overall steps:
First, on-site employees perform quick, frequent reality capture walks of Citygate using Insta360 cameras (ONE X or ONE R) and the Reconstruct smartphone app. Both software and hardware are simple and intuitive, with Reconstruct’s reality capture app offering “capturers” a live floor plan of tracking progress so no corner of the site is forgotten. The footage can be captured inside or outside, and virtually any team member can record the job site, with no expertise required.
