Mlab DigitalTwin

Project team: Justas Kardoka, Lina Morkūnaite, Rytis Venčaitis, Vytautas Bocullo, Ignacio Villalon Fornes

Digital twins are one of the latest areas of construction, involving not only the digitization of a building during design, but also the monitoring of the required parameters during operation. The MLAB digital twin project generates photogrammetric models of the building at various stages of construction, develops its BIM model with key information from all existing elements, and installs real-time sensors to measure microclimate (and other) parameters. Combining all three elements on the Bentley iTwin platform results in a “live” digital twin of a real building.

The newly built KTU protoproping laboratory MLab was selected for the project. Its traditional digital model was developed and a model of the built environment was generated by scanning the environment.
