Construction Monitoring: Kathmandu Valley High-Rise Project

Industry: Construction · Location: Kathmandu, Nepal · Duration: 18 months

Project Overview

A major real estate development company in Kathmandu Valley required comprehensive monitoring solutions for a 25-story mixed-use high-rise building project. The project faced challenges including deep excavation monitoring, structural deformation tracking, and as-built documentation in a densely populated urban environment.

Challenge

The construction site required continuous monitoring to ensure:

  • Excavation stability and neighboring structure safety during deep foundation work
  • Accurate as-built measurements to verify construction against design specifications
  • Progress documentation for stakeholder reporting and quality assurance
  • Volume calculations for earthwork and concrete placement verification

Solution

Toknav Nepal deployed a comprehensive monitoring solution using Toknav instruments:

Instruments Used

Toknav SLAM/LiDAR

Weekly 3D scans of construction progress, generating high-density point clouds for as-built documentation and volume calculations.

Toknav RTK GNSS

Permanent monitoring stations tracking structural movements and deformation with millimeter-level precision.

Total Station

Precise setting out of structural elements and verification of critical dimensions during construction phases.

Monitoring Software

Real-time data processing and automated alerting system for any movements exceeding safety thresholds.
