DDN - Gestão de Projetos, S.A.

Regarding its Smart Building Project, DDN can:
• Provide support in the design of solutions and advice on the technology to be used;
• Proceed to project coordination, ensuring the integration of intelligent systems in traditional projects (Architecture, Eletric and Telecomunications Infrastructures, Plumbing and Water Supply, etc.);
• Ensure the procurement process for solutions and suppliers;
• Follow up the construction phase to ensure strict compliance with the projected.

Discover some of the solutions and technologies to equip or make a building smart, in which DDN has know-how and can ensure for your Project:

Intelligent Detection Systems
Respect and maintenance of safety, preservation of the environment and health are constantly evolving, accompanied by the evolution of the most sophisticated detection devices and IoT - Internet of Things.

DDN works with several types of integrated detection and in wireless communication. A set of combined systems for the detection and measurement of temperature, gases, relative humidity, movement, smoke, sound, among others, create a neural network that allows you to tailor a response to a particular risk. A correct diagnosis makes it possible to mobilize the exact number of means to safeguard the safety, the environment and the health of people, from the design phase to the exploration phase of a project.

Intelligent detection systems are:
• Fast, real-time communication;
• Reliable, redundant systems that allow the screening of erroneous readings;
• Adaptable, easily scaled and replaced.

Invisible Army
Construction standards have undergone several changes over the past few years. Only in the last decade, design methods have been modified, new construction materials and technologies have been introduced and construction professionals have undergone a remarkable process of specialization. These factors, contrasted with the demolition and rehabilitation works of old buildings, in urban centers with a high population density, increase risks for themselves and for neighboring infrastructures with potentially disastrous consequences.

With invisible army solutions, information is acquired in real time on several factors such as: vibrations, displacements and video, which are processed through algorithms and artificial intelligence. The invisible army minimizes operating and maintenance risks, improves preventive maintenance performance and avoids delays caused by the lack of a correct construction diagnosis.

3D Scan and Diagnosis
The new trends in construction have trivialized the use of three-dimensional tools in the execution design phases, with the BIM software being used to a large extent in these new projects. The pixel-to-pixel reconstruction provides a faithful representation of the space and the involvement of a specific infrastructure, which serves as the basis for a rehabilitation project, using the BIM software. The scanning tools provide:
• Massive extraction of 3D data;
• Compatibility with various formats such as Google Earth, ESRI and GIS;
• Georeferencing and reprojection in coordinate systems;
• Orthorectified projection;
• 3D modeling, vector or scalar.

BIM and Digital Twin
For the correct planning of the construction, but also of the maintenance in operation phase, it is important that the project is developed using the most advanced digital technologies, namely:
• BIM - Building Information Modeling, an intelligent process based on a 3D model that provides the vision and tools to plan, design and construct buildings and infrastructures more efficiently, while also capturing the data they create during the process to benefit operations and maintenance activities;
• Digital Twin, a digital twin of the building that allows to simulate its operation, considering the conditions of wear or reaction of the materials and equipment applied. In this way, before moving on to construction, alternative architecture/engineering solutions can be chosen, which may respond more effectively throughout the life cycle of the building, while allowing the optimization of equipment maintenance cycles and materials used. During the operation, the data collected by countless sensors applied at key points in the building allow feeding the Digital Twin of the building, readjusting the model and predicting possible impacts on the rest of the infrastructure.

Cyber Development and Data Protection
We support and represent the development of technology and intelligence in our projects. We empower our customers, employees and partners with the state of the art of cybernetics in the field of construction. We protect and encrypt critical information to the exploitation of any investment, maintaining the speed, openness and interoperability of the data flow.

Cybersecurity systems become obsolete in very short time intervals, and a strong initial investment in these types of systems is often inappropriate. The best recommendations are to build a flexible system, which can receive periodic updates, without jeopardizing the infrastructure's operation. We provide technical advice on the adoption of the best cybersecurity solution for the type of business and infrastructure of our customers.
