In a revealing conversation with TimesTech, Harsh Pareek, Regional Sales Director for India & SAARC at Trimble Solutions, outlines how cutting-edge tools such as digital twins, drones and AI are transforming infrastructure development across India.
Digital twins virtual replicas of physical assets, enable engineers to simulate and adjust designs before construction begins, reducing rework and boosting precision. Simultaneously, drones streamline site mapping by gathering high-resolution data from challenging terrains and AI processes large datasets to predict delays, optimize resources and detect risks early.
Pareek highlights groundbreaking use-cases: the Dwarka Expressway project in India leveraged Trimble’s Tekla Structures for complex 3D modeling of over 500 non-standard bridges, enhancing communication and design accuracy; globally, the Dubai Museum of the Future project saw a 50% productivity gain, 25% lower energy consumption and a 65% reduction in rework, thanks to Trimble platforms.
These technologies don’t just boost efficiency, they support sustainable, future-ready infrastructure. AI-powered monitoring and real-time collaboration reduce waste, minimize miscommunication and build resilience. Trimble eases digital adoption with user-friendly tools and tailored training, ensuring smooth transitions. As India pushes ahead with smart cities and public-private partnerships, drones and digital twins are set to become foundational, enabling safer, more connected urban environments.
