Integrating GIS and Revit for Waterproofing Solutions in Historical Pitched Roof Buildings

Vikrant Sawant, Dr. Sumedh Mhaske

Abstract: Historical pitched-roof structures distinguished by their complicated craftsmanship and cultural significance, struggle with a critical issue of water infiltration, a consequence of their unique architectural composition. This study adopts a comprehensive approach to finding a waterproofing solution using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to address this challenging threat. Through careful historical scrutiny, innovative construction methodologies, and precise distress mapping, we seek to thoroughly evaluate and enhance the waterproofing systems. By harnessing contemporary materials and construction techniques, our objective is to support these architectural landmarks against future water-related threats. The integration of GIS technology provides precise insights into various elements affected by water ingression. This research not only rectifies existing vulnerabilities but also lays the groundwork for a sustainable and resilient preservation endeavor. The outcomes of this study is composed to revolutionize the conservation of historical pitched-roof buildings, safeguarding their enduring legacy as living evidence of human Creativity and artistic mastery.
