DESCRIPTION:Vertical and horizontal infrastructure is comprised of large a
 ssets that need sizable budgets to design\, construct and operate/maintain
  them. Cost reductions throughout their lifecycle can generate significant
  savings to all involved parties. Such reductions can be derived directly 
 through productivity improvements or indirectly through safety and quality
  control improvements. Creating and maintaining an up-to-date electronic r
 ecord of these assets in the form of rich Bridge Information Models (BIM) 
 can help generate such improvements. Research is being conducted at the Un
 iversity of Cambridge on inexpensive methods for generating object-oriente
 d infrastructure geometry\, detecting and mapping visible defects on the r
 esulting BIM\, automatically extracting defect spatial measurements\, and 
 sensor and sensor data modelling. The results of these methods are further
  exploited through their application in design for manufacturing and assem
 bly (DfMA)\, augmented-reality-enabled mobile inspection\, and proactive a
 sset protection from accidental damage. As-is modelling can produce a reli
 able digital record of infrastructure and enable owners to reliably protec
 t\, monitor and maintain the condition of their asset.
