3D Laser Scanning Services in Colorado

A GPRS Project Manager 3D laser scanned 4,000 s.f. of existing retail space to provide 2D CAD drawings, a 3D virtual tour, a colorized point cloud, and a 3D BIM model to a client who was renovating a 30-year-old location.

Capturing 4,000 s.f. of Retail Space for New Tenant's Redesign

GPRS 3D Laser Scanning Services provided 3D reality capture, 2D CAD drawings, point cloud, a 3D virtual tour, and BIM model to redesign a retail location for a new tenant in Austin, Texas.

An Austin-based maker of cowboy boots and western wear was moving retail locationsThe previous tenant had occupied the location for more than 30 years The new tenant desired 2D floor plans and a 3D BIM model for a virtual walkthrough of the propertyThe previous tenant still occupied the active storefront, so scanning had to be completed after hours to avoid business interruptions Utilizing a Leica P-Series laser scanner, the GPRS Project Manager completed 24 scans of the 4,000 s.f property in one eveningLaser scanning captured measurements and virtual tour data to help the new tenant plan the store layoutGPRS Mapping & Modeling Team provided the tenant with a colorized point cloud, architectural 2D floorplans, a 3D BIM model, and virtual tour of the property 3D laser scanning is the fastest way to capture existing building conditions, documenting every detail into a digital mapMeasurements and point cloud data is accurate within 2-4mm to allow for accurate 2D and 3D as-builts3D virtual walk throughs allow the tenant to view the site remotely to easily plan and implement floor layouts and merchandisingWhile the renovations were initially designed in Rhino, the client planned to export Rhino models into Revit for further refinement and documentation

3D Laser Scanning

This client requested as-built data, 2D CAD drawings, and a 3D BIM model of their 150,000 square feet facility in 12 business days. The 3D model will allow this manufacturer to discover any discrepancies between the design model and existing conditions so they can make necessary adjustments before the facility upgrade begins.

The demand for wood molded brick continues to grow as architects and designers utilize more brick in building designs. To keep up with this demand, our client, the largest molded brick manufacturer in the United States, is planning upgrades to its Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania facility. These upgrades include adding a second kiln to increase capacity and modernizing equipment to improve product quality. The client requested point cloud data, 2D CAD drawings, and a 3D Revit model to understand the existing conditions of the facility.

Brick Manufacturer Uses 3D Laser Scanning For Facility Upgrades Location: Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania Task: The demand for wood molded brick continues to grow as architects and designers utilize more brick in building designs. To keep up with this demand, our client, the largest molded brick manufacturer in the United States, is planning upgrades to its Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania facility. These upgrades include adding a second kiln to increase capacity and modernizing equipment to improve product quality. The client requested point cloud data, 2D CAD drawings, and a 3D Revit model to understand the existing conditions of the facility. Challenge: Our client was on a tight timeline. They requested as-built data, 2D drawings and a 3D BIM model of their 150,000 square feet facility in 12 business days. To complete the facility upgrades, they needed line, equipment, and tie-in points. Solution: 150,000 sq. ft. of space was 3D laser scanned in two days on-site with the Leica P50 ScanStation and the RTC360 laser scanner. 279 laser scans were taken to capture complete as-built data of the site’s structure, equipment, and MEP. Deliverable: GPRS delivered an LOD 200 design-intent architectural, structural, and MEP Revit Model, 2D AutoCAD floor plans and interior elevations, and an RCS point cloud file. MEP piping and conduit 2 inch and larger, HVAC ductwork, pumps, motors and equipment were 3D modeled to within ¼ inch accuracy. The 3D model will allow our client to discover any discrepancies between the design and existing conditions so they can make necessary adjustments before the facility upgrade begins. Added Value: Coordinating the work of designers with structural, MEP, and other construction teams is often difficult. Laser scanning provides a fast and accurate way to collect large amounts of site measurement data which can be used to expedite the retrofit design process. 3D scanning will help this client design to the actual as-built conditions, reducing clashes and change orders. Inaccurate data would slow teams down, increase the risk of miscommunication, and create prefabrication and installation problems that could lead to rework.

3D Laser Scanning

Reality capture provides the precise spatial data needed to power wayfinding apps and enable real-time AR navigation to help users confidently navigate complex indoor and outdoor environments.

GPRS captured precise digital representations of six uniquely structured parking garages at a healthcare campus in Atlanta, enabling a software company to build a wayfinding app that improved navigation for patients and visitors.

Highlights THE BOTTOM LINE Reality capture provides the precise spatial data needed to power wayfinding apps and enable real-time AR navigation to help users confidently navigate complex indoor and outdoor environments. INDUSTRY Healthcare SERVICE Reality Capture LOCATION Altanta, Georgia PM Insight Reality capture plays a significant role in enhancing wayfinding, particularly in complex indoor or large outdoor environments. It allows for the creation of accurate digital representations of real-world spaces that can then be used to develop intuitive and efficient navigation systems. Deliverables 3D BIM Model, 2D CAD Drawings, Virtual Tour PROJECT APPLICATION Reality Capture for Wayfinding Task GPRS captured accurate digital representations for six uniquely structured parking garages at Emory St. Joseph’s Hospital in Atlanta and integrated data into a wayfinding app to improve patient and visitor navigation across the healthcare campus. PROBLEM The hospital campus featured multiple parking structures with inconsistent layouts, some aboveground, some underground, and some interconnected across levels. Patients and visitors frequently experienced difficulty navigating from their vehicles to their medical offices, resulting in frustration, delays, and operational strain on staff. The total space 3D scanned was 1,681,500 SF and included the following parking garages within the scope of work. Green Parking Garage - 6 Levels - 510,000 SF Blue Parking Garage - 2 Levels - 160,500 SF Purple Parking Garage - 5 Levels - 222,500 SF Gold Parking Garage - 3 Levels - 271,000 SF North Employee Garage - 6 Levels - 285,000 SF South Employee Garage - 5 levels - 232,500 SF ‍ Solution Before beginning reality capture, the team conducted walkthroughs of each parking deck with the client to confirm the scope and develop scanning strategies tailored to the vast and complex layouts, ensuring no disruption to hospital operations. In under a week, a three-person GPRS team used the Matterport Pro 3 and Leica RTC360 laser scanners to capture every parking level, space, stairway, and hospital access point. Accurate reality capture data was used to create individual 3D BIM models for each parking garage and a unified campus model, which served as the foundation for generating 2D plans and immersive virtual tours. Deliverables were integrated into a mobile wayfinding app with AR capabilities and indoor positioning to guide users through the hospital campus with ease. ‍ Benefits Reality capture provides the precise spatial data needed to power wayfinding apps, saving parking locations and enabling real-time AR navigation that helps users confidently navigate complex indoor and outdoor environments. The 3D BIM model forms the foundation for accurate routing, orientation, and destination mapping. Reality capture supports augmented reality (AR) overlays by aligning digital cues, like directional arrows or points of interest, with physical features in real-world spaces. Accurate wayfinding reduced reliance on staff for directions, improving hospital operational efficiency. As-built CAD and BIM documentation captured spatial data of the complex parking structures and can be used to support future planning and maintenance.
