Construction Intelligence

From Site Selection to Construction and Handover

Model the terrain, compare earthwork scenarios, estimate quantities, revise the project drawing and track progress with drone surveys — every change visible on the map.

For: EPC and general contractors, engineering consultants, project owners, surveyors

What you give WaiMAP

  • A site boundary, a corridor or your CAD / IFC drawing
  • Your survey DEM, boreholes, drone orthophotos or point clouds (optional)
  • Design levels, slopes and unit prices

What it does

Automatic

  • Platform levels: balanced level or best-fit plane, batters, retaining walls
  • Mass haul optimisation (exact solver), fleet, fuel and CO₂
  • Corridor routing and pipeline hydraulics; site drainage and storm sewers
  • Quantities, BoQ and budget; progress volumes and S-curve from drone surveys

Manual input

  • Draw or import the layout and set the design levels
  • Map CAD layers to WaiMAP element types on import
  • Accept or reject detected changes and progress items

What you get

  • Earthwork scenarios and mass haul plan
  • DXF R2018 / DWG R2000 / IFC 4.3 exports and WHT Exchange v1
  • BoQ, budget and interim payment certificates
  • Progress and revision-compare reports

Planned

  • Issued-for-construction drawings
  • Native RVT read without IFC (only through the CAD / BIM bridge, in testing)

Mut, Mersin – solar PV plant (demonstration)

A ≈ 50.4 MWp fixed-tilt PV plant on a ≈ 65.5 ha demonstration parcel: layout, cabling, BoQ and Class 4 CAPEX, pvlib yield on free data (95.4 GWh/yr), site conditions, roads and a BESS option.

Who it is for

  • General and EPC contractors
  • Engineering consultants and designers
  • Project owners and project management offices
  • Surveyors and site teams

Key output: Site analysis, earthwork scenarios, quantity estimates, progress reports and georeferenced documentation.

Revision compare on the map in WaiMAP: added elements in green, a removed road dashed in red, a moved warehouse in amber with its old position as a ghost, and the summary table
Rev A → Rev B on a sample facility: what was added, removed and moved.

Use cases

Terrain modelling, excavation and filling

Your survey DEM or the global DEM, platform level alternatives, batters, retaining walls, swell / shrink and haul cost.

Roads, highways, railways and pipelines

Least-cost corridors, elevation profiles, pipeline hydraulics, hazards along the route, crossings.

Industrial facilities, buildings and infrastructure

Mini CAD with typed assets, site drainage, water and fire-water networks, storm sewers, ground model.

Drone surveys and progress tracking

Orthophotos and point clouds, DTM / DSM, stockpile and progress volumes, survey accuracy QA, site photo log.

Planned versus actual

Named revisions Rev A, B, C … compared on the map: added, removed, moved, with deviations in metres and length / area changes.

Georeferenced documentation

Scanned plans and photos placed on the map by control points (RMS shown), then traced and measured into the project drawing.

Across the project lifecycle

One project from the first screening to operation — the same map, data and drawing at every stage.

Stage 1

Development & Feasibility

Site analysis, constraints, ground model desk study, hazard screening, Class 5–4 cost estimate.

Stage 2

Design & Engineering

Earthwork scenarios, mass haul plan, drainage design, quantities and BoQ, project drawing with revisions.

Stage 3

Construction & Commissioning

Drone surveys, progress S-curve, interim payment certificates, revision compare, daily logs.

Stage 4

Operations & Maintenance

Observation areas around the asset, handover documents and drawings in standard formats.

Workflow

  1. Draw or import the site
  2. Load terrain, ground and constraints
  3. Compare earthwork and layout scenarios
  4. Estimate quantities and cost
  5. Save revisions and track progress
  6. Issue reports and hand over drawings

Key deliverables

In the app

A scanned site plan placed on the map with four control points, RMS 0.03 m, and an area traced over it
Image georeference — a sample site plan placed by control points and traced.

Limits. Quantities and costs are study-level estimates (estimate classes with accuracy ranges). Planned-versus-actual compares drawings and surveys you provide; it is not an as-built certification.

Reports from this solution follow the WaiMAP report structure (executive summary, location, maps and layers, data sources and observation dates, results, constraints and changes, quantities and assumptions, findings and limitations, appendices) at screening, feasibility-grade or bankability-readiness level.
