Morgan Structural and Bailys Regeneration (Glastonbury)

Mann Williams are Consulting Structural and Civil Engineers with offices in Bath, Cardiff and Belfast
Formed in 1986, Mann Williams work across a wide portfolio of projects throughout the UK and Europe, covering all sectors of the built environment. Their diverse experience equips them to work on both new build and conservation projects, with a proven track record of delivering new construction in historic and re-use environments.
Mann Williams needed to get an accurate set of BIM plans for the remaining structure but access into the damaged parts was not safe for a traditional ground survey. We used an enterprise level drone (DJI M300) with 40MP mapping camera and high accuracy GNSS GPS to create a point cloud and digital model hosted online. This allowed different stakeholders to access quantitative information remotely and to make decisions without having to visit the site. It was also much safer since the building had was unstable and could not be accessed.
UAVs were the safe and reliable way of getting data from the “live” structure
Fixed the communication and information gaps the as built record for Parnham.
BIM and Revit outputs were generated shared with other partners
Enabled the creation of an accurate digital twin for Historic England records
Versus the traditional ground/roof based data capture time of weeks or even months for large assets, saving days / weeks
Versus ground or roof top inspections with ropes, scaffold and towers our aerial capture tools are “zero-touch”
Versus traditional manual inspection costs by removing the expense of prolonged capture time, travel time and repeated in-person site visits
Versus the traditional survey which does not “see” all of the asset from all aspects and elevations
Versus ground/roof based surveys with limited access and finite resolution, allowing pinpoint accuracy across whole digital twin
Versus the traditional 2D paper based reports and images which have limited access, coverage and quality
