Laboratory of Engineering Project Methodologies (LAMPRO)

The Laboratory of Engineering Project Methodologies (LAMPRO), located on the sixth floor of the Cardeal Leme Building, room L617, offers an advanced computing environment made up of 22 workspaces. These spaces are intended for undergraduate and graduate students involved in a wide range of research, extension, development, and consultancy projects.

LAMPRO is part of the Engineering Project Methodology and Environmental Technologies research areas associated with the Graduate Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering. In the laboratory research is carried out in topics related to: Project automation using artificial intelligence, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Computer graphics applied to engineering, Lean construction, Intelligent construction, Constructability and safety, Social-natural disasters, Hydraulic and environmental modeling, Building health monitoring, Design for disassembly, Ecological and landscape restoration, Environmental sanitation, Sustainability and energy performance of the built environment.

LAMPRO stands out for its use of high-performance equipment, providing efficient support in the development of engineering studies and projects. This includes workstations with advanced technology, artificial intelligence algorithms and tools, specialized equipment for BIM modeling and geoprocessing, hardware optimized for computer graphics, hardware for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality simulations, and software for simulations in buildings and urban infrastructure systems. In addition, the laboratory has advanced monitoring systems for assessing the health of constructed facilities, contributing to the structural and functional integrity of projects.

The investment in cutting-edge technology at LAMPRO creates an environment conducive to innovation, enabling students and researchers to face contemporary challenges in the various areas of Engineering. The laboratory is also used as a hub for connecting with companies in the Engineering and Construction sector, promoting partnerships and new R&D projects.
