Ensuring the ‘quality control of water pipes installation’ is a critical step in any project. This post-installation review process is essential to confirm proper placement, as it directly impacts the overall performance of aqueducts and sewage systems. Evaluating alignment and facility adaptation after installation is crucial during this project phase, helping to determine personnel programming costs.

Most pipe facilities in this project are executed by highly qualified personnel to prevent errors. Even so, the site manager expected to:

1. Test the quality of the As-built model for construction inspection
2. Upload models (BIM & POINT CLOUD) to execute the inspection on-site
3. After having results and activate the heat map in the point cloud to see is the elements are properly installed and aligned to the model
4. Share the inspection to the stakeholders

Correct updating of the BIM model of a Construction project during execution time is of the utmost importance. The majority of cases where a digital inspection is being helded, people tend to think that those technological processes can only be made by a BIM expert or a very qualified data capture specialist. In fact:

• The inspection was performed by the site manager, and the system found the item just 5% within tolerance of the model. Thus, all the point cloud is in red representing the installed element distance from the model
• The alignment of the water pipes inspected has been confirmed 8 time faster than in traditional review methods
• The pipe is 10.05 ft tall, 3 in outside the tolerance of the planned element

The client verified the quality control of water pipes installation of the plant under construction. The general result was good, finding a single element out of tolerance. Even so, the deviated pipe was higher than it should have been (9,8 ft high), and this not only implied extra costs of qualified personnel, said error also implies extra hours for the architect to update the BIM model.
