3D Laser Scanning Services in Arkansas

Providing both a 3D BIM model and a 2D reflected ceiling plan allowed various trades and MEP professionals to work without disturbing each other's timelines, to finish the project with fewer mistakes, reworks, and less cost.

Use 3D laser scanning to create a BIM model for new construction coordination in Paoli, Pennsylvania.

GPRS provided a detailed Revit 3D BIM model and reflected ceiling plan to keep a large project on schedule and reduce clashes and reworks.

Only the building shell existed, but did include the foundation, structural skeleton, columns, beams, and fire suppression system pipingA BIM model was requested to complete the design, minimize clashes, and plan for field coordinationThe VDC engineer wanted each trade to be able to conduct their specific work without interference from other trades A 3D Revit model was created from the point cloud with standard detail that included architectural, structural, and MEP featuresA reflected ceiling plan, an architectural drawing that shows visible objects located on the ceiling of a space, was delivered for MEP coordination2D plans and 3D models allowed this client to complete the design, communicate the scope of work to each trade, and efficiently schedule work to be completed Model-based implementations are the foundation of our client’s VDC department. They plan site layout and work sequencing for efficient logistics and safety.Because the VDC engineer received an accurate as-built model to place all building components and MEP into, they were able to effectively plan and communicate to minimize trade interference, clashes, installation problems, rework, and additional costs

3D Laser Scanning

GPRS saved the GC untold labor hours and cost overruns by detecting clashes, finding deviations before they caused expensive rework, and discovering the buried slab.

Complete subsurface mapping and millimeter-accurate aboveground measurements for a top-down, 360° visualization of a hospital wing and parking area to support a hospital expansion.

The addition is designed to occupy an existing parking lot for hospital employees, patients, and visitors. GPRS performed utility locating, video pipe inspection, and 3D laser scanning to create a comprehensive map and 3D model of the medical center’s infrastructure, both above and below ground.

TASK: Complete subsurface mapping and millimeter-accurate aboveground measurements for a top-down, 360° visualization of a hospital wing and parking area to support a hospital expansion. PROJECT APPLICATION: Rudolph Libbe, a longtime GPRS client and partner, oversaw the construction on the expansion of a northwest Ohio medical center. The addition is designed to occupy an existing parking lot for hospital employees, patients, and visitors. GPRS performed utility locating, video pipe inspection, and 3D laser scanning to create a comprehensive map and 3D model of the medical center’s infrastructure, both above and below ground. PROBLEM SOLUTION BENEFITS n Rudolph Libbe received millimeteraccurate laser scan data and an integrated 3D BIM model to precisely design and plan the building addition during preconstruction. n Non-destructive utility-locate methods reduced the number of unknown utilities and obstructions for the design and construction teams. n GPRS’ as builts allowed Rudolph Libbe to plan the new foundation and identify areas where further investigation would be warranted to prevent design and utility clashes. n With comprehensive field services provided by GPRS, Rudolph Libbe saved time and money on change orders, and eliminated subsurface damage during the construction process. With parts of the medical center’s campus dating back to the mid- 1800s, inaccurate as built data and unknown subsurface obstructions could jeopardize construction planning. n It was imperative that the proposed locations of the structural foundation and planned utilities coordinated with the existing conditions. n Rudolph Libbe desired 3D as builts to plan and complete the building addition, such as structural and utility tie-in information. n Traditional exploration methods typically include “soft” excavation methods over the entire building footprint. This option is expensive, time consuming, and requires tremendous coordination. GPRS utilized ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) locating to map the hospital’s utilities. n Video pipe inspection (VPI) recorded the precise location and condition of the facility’s sewer lines, detailed in a NASSCO-certified report. n 3D laser scanning documented as built site data and utility maps to create 2D CAD drawings and a 3D BIM model for virtual design and construction. n GPRS participated in coordination meetings with construction and design team members. NO ONE HAS GONE TO THIS EXTENT TO MAP A SITE ABOVE AND BELOW GROUND. IT WAS IMPERATIVE THAT RUDOLPH LIBBE HAD ACCURATE AS BUILT SITE DATA AND UTILITY MAPS WITH CRITICAL STRUCTURAL AND UTILITY TIE-IN INFORMATION.” JAIME ALTHAUSER | FIELD SUPPORT DIRECTOR, GPRS

3D Laser Scanning

GPRS captured point cloud data to generate a 3D as-built model from which the client could take measurements and locate key features that could be affected by the seating renovation.

GPRS laser scanned a historic theater, including the main floor, three balcony levels, and box seats to generate a 3D Revit model for seating renovations. The target objects of data acquisition were structural features, including exposed columns and beams; and the architectural envelope of the audience area, including walls, floors, ceilings, doors, openings, railings, seats, floor, and lighting.

GPRS 3D laser scanned a historic theatre to generate a 3D Revit model for seating renovations. Case Study: 3D Laser Scanning A Theatre To Generate A 3D Model Location: Philadelphia, PA Task: GPRS laser scanned a historic theater, including the main floor, three balcony levels and box seats to generate a 3D Revit model for seating renovations. The target objects of data acquisition were structural features, including exposed columns and beams; and the architectural envelope of the audience area, including walls, floors, ceilings, doors, openings, railings, seats, floor and lighting. Problem: The client did not have accurate as-builts to plan and layout the new seating and understand the grade of the main floor and balconies. Manually measuring for this would have been time consuming and less accurate. Solution: 3D laser scanning will provide the client precise, as-built documentation of the historic theater, including floor slope, balcony and ceiling heights. GPRS captured point cloud data to generate a 3D as-built model from which the client could take measurements and locate key features that could be affected by the seating renovation. Benefits: GPRS’ in-house CAD technicians created a 3D Revit model for the client. Revit families were created for all the varying features so that each layer could be selected or de-selected depending on which portion of the model was being analyzed by the client. Accurate data facilitates timely and cost-efficient decisions. The 3D model will be crucial to plan for enhancements that are made to the space. This model could further be used to study the room acoustics and how adding/removing/changing objects would impact the reflection of sound.
