The Problem

 

As a property owner, we often run into the problem of not knowing where things are? And we don’t necessarily mean storage or movable artifacts. If you have an old, new or under construction property, the actual location of your artifacts is a very important issue. It is easier to identify visible objects, but it is also very important that the information is available in the same structure, anywhere, anytime. The bigger problem is the positioning of buried artifacts that are not visible.
 

 

An Example

 

Concrete example: given industrial area X. It was built in the 1960s. In the construction of the last century, it is not certain that the plans were followed, but even if they were, we cannot be 100% sure that “everything is in place”. Property X has been sold and re-sold several times over the decades. In each case, the owners have made changes to the property and these changes have not been properly documented. Good news, we have the CAD file for Property X, which includes artifacts.
 

 

Failures

 

BUT this file has a patchy foil structure and objects are duplicated in good cases. And last but not least it reflects a planned state, not an executed state. Given 2024. At the beginning of the current year, a project is started in light of the above data. In February 2024, an “innocent” construction machine cuts a water pipe. Contractor is not scared because he turns off the water, fixes the fault and continues working. In March 2024, another “innocent” machine cuts a live power line.
 
Here the problem is bigger. The owner or contractor at this point starts to wonder where to go next. The result is that the investment stops, costs rise and everyone is increasingly uncomfortable.
