Using 3D Laser Scanning For Facility Design Modification

When plant engineers at a pet food packaging facility needed to make modifications, they asked GPRS 3D Laser Scanning to provide as built documentation and a 3D model to plan retrofits to the existing structure. The project site consisted of 140,000 sq. ft. of interior space. Approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of this was single-story warehouse space, consisting of a central palletizer, semi- truck loading bays and temporary material storage. The remaining 40,000 sq. ft. contained 7 levels of elevated platforms containing product packaging equipment. TruePoint captured all architectural and structural features, equipment, conduit and piping.
Transforming a pet food facility with GPRS 3D Laser Scanning. Detailed documentation & 3D models streamline retrofit planning. Covering 140k sq.ft., including warehouses & elevated platforms.
CASE STUDY LOCATION Bowling Green, Kentucky TASK: When plant engineers at a pet food packaging facility needed to make modifications, they asked TruePoint Laser Scanning to provide as built documentation and a 3D model to plan retrofits to the existing structure. The project site consisted of 140,000 sq. ft. of interior space. Approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of this was single-story warehouse space, consisting of a central palletizer, semi- truck loading bays and temporary material storage. The remaining 40,000 sq. ft. contained 7 levels of elevated platforms containing product packaging equipment. TruePoint captured all architectural and structural features, equipment, conduit and piping. PROBLEM SOLUTION BENEFITS n By using laser scanning instead of traditional survey methods, TruePoint saved this client thousands of dollars in field survey work and drafting time, and provided greater detail than what would have otherwise been possible. With an accurate, comprehensive data set, plant engineers were able to complete virtual interference checks, avoiding design rework costs. n In two days on site, TruePoint’s experienced project managers 3D scanned the 140,000 sq. ft. area with millimeter accuracy. 523 scans were taken with the Leica P50 and RTC 360 laser scanners. This project was scanned on the weekend to avoid disruption to production. n After proper data registration, TruePoint’s in-house modeling team built an information-rich 3D BIM model for the client. TruePoint’s experienced team has optimized workflows for importing data, registration, creating deliverables, quality checks and transferring data to clients. n No as built plans existed for the facility. The plant was complex, capturing the existing spatial data of the conduit and piping in a high level of detail was important to the plant engineers. n There were silos and other pieces of large equipment that would be difficult to measure precisely using traditional or manual measuring techniques. /// GPRS LASER SCANNING SERVICES ///// 3D LASER SCANNING CASE STUDY: USING 3D LASER SCANNING FOR FACILITY DESIGN MODIFICATIONS “IT’S HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE HOW THIS PET FOOD PACKAGING FACILITY COULD HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WITHOUT 3D LASER SCANNING.” TRUEPOINT PROJECT MANAGER

NFL's Bank of America Stadium 3D Laser Scanned for Mixed Reality Experience

The Famous Group was able to create a mixed reality experience that included an enormous virtual panther skulking through the stadium and onto the Jumbotron, delighting the 70,000 fans in attendance, thanks to the accurate scans, models, and meshes provided by GPRS
GPRS 3D laser scanned The Bank of America Stadium and the Gentle Giant panther statue for The Famous Group and the Carolina Panthers to create a mixed-reality experience for the home opening football game vs. the New York Jets
GPRS 3D laser scanned The Bank of America Stadium and the Gentle Giant panther statue for The Famous Group and the Carolina Panthers to create a mixed-reality experience for the home opening football game vs. the New York Jets. GPRS delivered a 3D mesh model to assist in the creation of this mixed-reality experience.
Problem • To sell the realism of mixed reality, computer-generated objects must precisely interact with the physical environment • As-built information and a 3D model of The Bank of America Stadium did not exist Solution • In 1 ½ days on site, using a Leica P40 ScanStation, point cloud data of the interior field, stadium bowl, seating, and upper rigging area was captured • To give the panther virtual objects to climb on and interact with, CAD technicians used the point cloud data to create a Revit 2021 LOD 200 3D model of the stadium • The Gentle Giant panther statue at the front of the stadium was 3D laser scanned to create a triangulated 3D mesh model in .fbx file format for the animation/CGI Benefits • 3D laser scanning is a fast and accurate way to digitize real-world objects for use in computer-aided design (CAD) and mixed reality • 3D models are created in our corporate office by experienced engineers and CAD technicians • The Famous Group was able to create a mixed reality experience that included an enormous virtual panther skulking through the stadium and onto the Jumbotron, delighting the 70,000 fans in attendance

GPRS 3D Laser Scanning provides existing conditions documentation to Vanderbilt University's Legends Golf Club
Vanderbilt Legends Golf Club renovations aimed for "elite facility" status, aided by GPRS 3D Laser Scanning and Mapping & Modeling Services
Vanderbilt University planned an expansion and renovations of its Legends Golf Club to propel it to "elite facility" statusThe architect on the project needed accurate existing conditions documentation to develop a design plan and solicit bids from construction companiesThe club management required that any work be completed with minimal operational interference GPRS 3D laser scanned the two-story, 17,000 s.f. clubhouse in one day with the Leica RTC360An intensity map point cloud file, 2D CAD drawings, and a Revit 3D model were all delivered to the architect via GPRS Mapping & Modeling TeamDocumenting architectural elements, such as the building envelope, walls, windows, doors, ceilings, exposed columns, beams, and posts with 2-4mm accuracy was critical to the renovation effort Capturing real-time existing conditions prior to designing the expansion & renovation reduced reworks, waste, and mistakesThe 1/4" accuracy provided by the architectural and structural model allowed for extremely detailed plans to be delivered to the contractorThe building renovations created a state-of-the-art facility for the team, the membership, and to aid in recruitment efforts
