3D Laser Scanning Services in Kansas

A comprehensive site scan, delivering utility maps and a 3D BIM model allowed the architect to plan precise renovations to the stadium’s layout, from design changes and material selection, to cost estimation and construction phasing, with ease.

GPRS provided above and below-ground as-built data to Florida State University’s Doak Campbell Stadium, including subsurface utility maps, and an architectural/structural 3D BIM model that the client could access via our SiteMap GIS Platform. A $255-million-dollar renovation project required accurate data to update the stadium seating with founder’s boxes and a field level club.

BIM Model Aids Design Renovations for Stadium A BIM model provided the stadium owners a better understanding of the design updates. Tallahassee, Florida Task: An architect requested an ArchiCAD BIM model of a college football stadium to create renovation construction documents. Problem: A vast amount of space required as-built documentation, over 600,000 sq. ft. needed 3D laser scanned and modeled. The renovation changes were complex. A BIM model was needed to provide the stadium owners a better understanding of the architecture and design updates. Our client needed a single source of data, where all architects on the team could see the latest design and document their changes. Solution: The exterior and interior of the stadium were 3D laser scanned with 2-4 millimeter precision, including three concourse levels, stadium seating, and suites. TruePoint delivered an intensity map point cloud, TruView viewer files, and a Revit 2021 3D model of the stadium. Working from precise details in the 3D model, renovations can be designed right the first time, saving time and costly change orders. Benefits: The architect utilizes the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process to provide their clients a better understanding of the complexities of architecture and design. Technical construction drawings (floor plan views, elevation views, cross-sections, iso-metric representations, etc.) can be effortlessly created from the 3D BIM model and shared with all disciplines. A BIM model allows architects to plan precise renovations, from design changes and material selection, to cost estimation and construction phasing.

3D Laser Scanning

GPRS provided critical dimensional verification to ensure a flawless installation, reduce delays, clashes, and other unforeseen challenges for the project team

GPRS partnered with two renewable energy companies constructing an offshore wind farm to verify that the prefabricated components of several wind turbines met the specified design requirements

GPRS aids renewable energy projects with precise as-built data for design, construction, and maintenance. From solar panel installation to wind farm construction, we deliver accurate data for your project needs. 3D laser scanning captured complete and accurate dimensional information to verify that the prefabricated components were in tolerance for the design drawings Precast concrete foundations were laser scanned and a CAD comparison was performed to confirm that the dimensions matched the design planSubstation topside steel platforms were laser scanned to provide accurate as-built dimensions of all three levels and report the maximum outside diameter of the structure The Mapping & Modeling Team delivered 2D CAD drawings and a 3D BIM model, detailing the as-built dimensions and deviation between the design model and actual component 3D laser scanning captured complete and accurate dimensional information to verify that the prefabricated components were in tolerance for the design drawingsPrecast concrete foundations were laser scanned and a CAD comparison was performed to confirm that the dimensions matched the design planSubstation topside steel platforms were laser scanned to provide accurate as-built dimensions of all three levels and report the maximum outside diameter of the structureThe Mapping & Modeling Team delivered 2D CAD drawings and a 3D BIM model, detailing the as-built dimensions and deviation between the design model and actual component

The construction of a wind turbine required shipping prefabricated components on a vessel out to sea and using a crane to assemble Verification of the prefabricated component measurements within tolerance of the design drawings ensured a flawless installation Unique construction conditions meant there was no time to troubleshoot installation problems or add additional site visits and time at sea

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.
