Task

This client needed to do some rehabilitation on a historic cathedral in Denver, Colorado. After experiencing 100 years of weather in Denver, the cathedral had damage to the exterior stonework. GPRS laser scanned the exterior front façade of the historic cathedral and provided the client with 2D drawings.

PROBLEM

Prior to beginning work, the client needed accurate drawings to document the locations of stonework that needed maintenance.

The client was pressed for time and needed an immediate turnaround for 3D laser scanning services and a 2D drawing. They also had a minimal budget for this project.

‍

Solution

GPRS worked quickly to define the scope of work, document a proposal, provide 3D laser scanning services and deliver a 2D drawing for this project.

The Project Manager was able to scan the exterior façade within a few hours. GPRS quickly captured the entire front façade from the ground without the need for a lift. The Leica C10 laser scanner was used, whose range exceeds 900 feet and possesses accuracy that is sub-centimeter, making 3D laser scanning a perfect option.

GPRS supplied the client with 2D elevations of the plotted point cloud so they could document the exterior stone damage while onsite.

Benefits

The client avoided the costs of renting a lift, manually measuring the façade and the potential of inaccurate or incomplete data. GPRS offers an extensive team of laser scanning professionals, including Engineers and Architects, to provide a deliverable that is accurate, cost-efficient and timely.
