3D Laser Scanning Services in Alaska

GPRS 3D laser scanned three 100-year old trees and provided the client with intensity map point cloud files and a 3D mesh of the trees to include them in the design plan.

The client desired to laser scan three 100-year old trees and include them in the design plans for a new housing development. GPRS 3D laser scanned the trees and provided the client with intensity map point cloud files and a 3D mesh of the trees. This was GPRS’ second phase of laser scanning for this client.

Location: Austin, Texas Task: The client desired to laser scan three 100-year old trees and include them in the design plans for a new development. GPRS 3D laser scanned the trees and provided the client with intensity map point cloud files and a 3D mesh of the trees for reality capture. This was GPRS’ second phase of laser scanning for this client. Challenge: The client could not accurately capture the location, exact dimensions and detail of the three trees. They needed laser scanning services to include the trees in the design plan. It was important to capture the existing conditions without damaging the tree trunks or limbs. Solutions: GPRS’ Texas office used a Leica C10 ScanStation to capture the three trees and the surrounding area. Accurate 3D measurements were captured in a few hours on site in a fast and environmentally friendly manner. Laser scanners are non-contact, they scan from tripods on the ground up to 300 yards, keeping the environment untouched. Deliverables: GPRS provided the client with intensity map point cloud files and 3D mesh of the trees. This can be pulled into an existing Revit or AutoCAD model and aligned with the design plan, as well as be used in reality capture software. Added Value: GPRS incorporated the first and second mobilization into the same coordinate system which allowed the separate projects to be put on the same coordinates and relate the projects to one another even though they were captured at different times. This allowed the client to create their design model more accurately and preserve the 100-year-old trees. 3D information is invariant to lighting and shadow. As a result, significantly more data was acquired by laser scanning the tree, and much more accurately than hand measuring. Laser scanning services are the solution for capturing spatial data in a fast, efficient and highly accurate way.

The 17,000 s.f. golf club, including pro shop, locker rooms, and restaurant areas were all 3D scanned in a single day with minimal operational interruption to provide 1/4" accurate structural & architectural models

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

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.
