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.

In three days onsite, GPRS was able to capture the facility’s complex piping and equipment with very minimal shadowing, giving our modeling team the information they required to create a highly-detailed 3D as-built model.

GPRS performed 3D laser scanning services for a water treatment plant pump station to capture existing structural and MEP features. Our in-house Mapping & Modeling Team generated an Autodesk Revit LOD 300 Building Information Model (BIM) of the project site.

Highlights THE BOTTOM LINE In three days onsite, GPRS was able to capture the facility’s complex piping and equipment with very minimal shadowing, giving our modeling team the information they required to create a highly-detailed 3D as-built model. INDUSTRY Water Treatment Plant SERVICE 3D Laser Scanning, Mapping & Modeling LOCATION Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Deliverables GPRS delivered registered point cloud data in real-world coordinates in RCS, RCP and E57 format, black and white TruViews (high-resolution panoramic images) at each of the scanner setup locations and an Autodesk Revit LOD 300 model of the site. PROJECT APPLICATION GPRS 3D laser scanning services document the exact architectural, structural, and MEP system layout and dimensions of existing buildings, facilities, and sites. Task GPRS performed 3D laser scanning services for a water treatment plant pump station to capture existing structural and MEP features. Our in-house Mapping & Modeling Team generated an Autodesk Revit LOD 300 Building Information Model (BIM) of the project site. PROBLEM Our client was planning for a complete mechanical rehabilitation of the facility and requested 3D laser scanning services and Building Information Modeling (BIM) from GPRS to expedite the design and execution of this project. Solution We have captured as built site conditions for water treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants from 40 MGD to 1 BGD, documenting the interior and exterior of buildings; foundations; structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing features; equipment, motors, conduit and piping down to ½ inch diameter. GPRS' experienced laser scan team 3D captured all exposed columns, floors, walls, ceilings, stairways, platforms, and MEP equipment and piping ½" in diameter and above, including pumps and valves. GPRS provided a tie-in to topographic survey and processed the data on survey control established for this project. The Mapping & Modeling team broke the model into individual discipline models containing existing MEP features with material type assignments. ‍ Benefits Custom-built advanced 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.

In just one day on site, GPRS was able to capture the entire existing condition of the facility, even in dense pipe runs and hard-to-reach spaces, with 2-4mm accuracy to provide the client with an accurate 3D BIM model for planning, fabrication, and clash detection

An engineering firm needed to have existing conditions of a power plant documented and modeled to plan for renovations.

An engineering firm needed to have existing conditions of a power plant documented and modeled to plan for renovations.

Problem • The client needed to accurately document the existing conditions of the plant without interruptions to the power supply • Many of the pipe runs were dense and impossible to accurately measure by hand • The client required 2-4 mm accuracy of dense piping and pipe runs throughout the facility • The client needed to guarantee that installations complied with safety regulations Solution • In one day on site, GPRS' Project Manager used the Leica RTC360 laser scanner to capture 150 laser scans, documenting existing conditions of the facility • Many of the pipe runs were dense and impossible to accurately measure by hand • GPRS generated a 3D BIM model for use in CAD software, including all civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical features, piping, and conduit 1" and larger Benefits • Due to the vast space and density of the piping, it would have been much more difficult and time consuming to accurately depict the location of pipe runs, structural features, and other details in the plant manually • The point cloud data from laser scanning was used by CAD technicians to create an intelligent 3D BIM model for planning, fabrication and clash detection • Verified measurements and virtual planning guarantee installations will comply with safety regulations • Using virtual 3D models, the firm can plan and model future developments to manage the facility without having to re-enter the site
