Industrial Construction Timelapse Simulation
I designed this fictional industrial construction project, built 3D models on real satellite image data and created an animated simulation of typical construction phases, all in Blender. Graphics overlays were done in Adobe After Effects.
The presentation illustrates the complex logistics of a major build, seen from 360 degree aerial viewpoints. From access routes to groundworks and materials delivery, to cranes erecting steelwork and cast concrete, to building envelope completion, equipment fit-out and final site landscaping. Stakeholders can quickly see exactly how a project timeline evolves through critical engineering milestones.
Instead of overwhelming stakeholders with heavy BIM data, a presentation video provides an engaging, intuitive and instantly digestible understanding of the project’s scale and operational reality. This visual clarity fosters better communication, manages stakeholder expectations, and significantly reduces risk by allowing for early identification of potential logistical bottlenecks before construction begins.
