GPRS Develops As-Built Model to Convert Historic Building into a Luxury Hotel

3D laser scanning aids the process of architectural design from the early stages of site documentation and conceptualization, to monitoring construction progress and verifying as-built accuracy.
GPRS Laser Scanning developed an as-built model to aid this client in converting a historic building into a luxury hotel. GPRS provided 3D scanning services for a 250,000 square-foot building, including the exterior facades, floors 1-4, basement, roof, penthouses and mechanical spaces. GPRS’ team of in-house architects, engineers and CAD Technicians delivered point cloud files, a 3D model, and TruViews to the client.

Quote from GPRS Team Member: “The scanning and modeling teams worked around the clock, sometimes 7 days a week, to complete this project. The hard work paid off and we’re thrilled with the result – one of our most highly-detailed architectural 3D models to date.” - Nate Baker, GPRS Service Line Leader – 3D Laser Scanning Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Task: GPRS Laser Scanning developed an as-built model to aid this client in converting a historic building into a luxury hotel. GPRS provided 3D scanning services for a 250,000 square-foot building, including the exterior facades, floors 1-4, basement, roof, penthouses and mechanical spaces. GPRS’ team of in-house architects, engineers and CAD Technicians delivered point cloud files, a 3D model, and TruViews to the client. Challenge: The client was challenged with acquiring highly detailed architectural data including walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, balustrades, colonnades etc., and structural data including exposed columns and beams to design the renovation. Due to the size of the building and the ornate features, traditional methods would have taken months to complete and would not have been as accurate or anywhere near as detailed. Solutions: The GPRS scan technician completed 1,680 laser scans in 15 days (an average of over 100 scans per day!) with a Leica P20 ScanStation. A 3D Revit model with varying degrees of LOD 200 and LOD 300 modeling was generated by GPRS’ engineers based on the client’s instruction. Some areas of the building, such as the main lobby and exterior facades, required finer modeling detail over 350. This was deciphered through several project scope conferences between GPRS and the client. Deliverables: GPRS delivered point cloud files (.rcs file formats), a 3D Revit model and TruViews to the client. GPRS worked closely with the project architect to review the model in real time utilizing BIM360 software for shared viewing of the model in its current state throughout the 2-month project. Added Value: 3D laser scanning aids the process of architectural design from the early stages of site documentation and conceptualization, to monitoring construction progress and verifying as-built accuracy. Aside from the benefits of quickly and accurately creating detailed as-built drawings of a site, the data acquired through laser scanning has continued value throughout the project's life. Laser scanning and modeling is exploding in the AEC industry. 3D laser scanning creates a smooth BIM workflow, from the acquisition of data to a polished 3D model. Scan to BIM services are becoming more popular as the need for intelligent 3D CAD models grows.

Precise As-Built Conditions of Church and School

GPRS captures 2-4 millimeter accurate measurements of the complex geometry of every high ceiling & wall, delicate window, sacred item, office, classroom, and more without contact from the ground.
A Denver Catholic church and school constructed in the 1950’s requested 3D laser scanning of their 56,000 sq ft three-building campus to plan for renovations. Our client was an architecture, planning and interior design firm specializing in commercial, institutional and academic design.

Location: Denver, Colorado Task: A Denver Catholic church and school constructed in the 1950’s requested 3D laser scanning of their 56,000 sq ft three-building campus to plan for renovations. Our client was an architecture, planning and interior design firm specializing in commercial, institutional and academic design. Problem: Construction documents existed from the original build, but the client was unsure if they were up to date. Each building required a different scanning scope. The church and parish hall required complete exterior and interior documentation, while the school required only exterior documentation. The church required new design drawings and cost estimates from the firm before proceeding with renovations. Solution: In one day on-site, a GPRS/TruePoint Project Manager completed 359 scans with the Leica P50 ScanStation and the RTC360 laser scanner. The client required point cloud files, 2D CAD drawings, a 3D Revit model, and TruViews to understand the existing conditions of the buildings on campus. 2D CAD exterior elevations and floor plans of the church; and exterior elevations of the school were created for this project. An LOD 200 Revit 2021 3D model of the church was delivered with architectural/structural details, including columns, beams, walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, stairs, roof, pews, lectern, and alter. An LOD 200 Revit model was delivered of the school exterior. Benefits: Renovations are not new to this campus; they recently added an outdoor learning lab and eucharistic adoration chapel. They understand the value of accurate as-built data. The firm wanted to keep the historic craftsmanship of the church but provide modern updates. A quality point cloud created a reliable as-built BIM model of existing conditions with ¼ inch accuracy tolerance.

GPRS 3D Laser Scans Gas Processing and Transportation Components

The level of detail provided to the client in both the 3D laser scan data and 3D BIM model exceeded expectations and helped the client to expedite fabrication drawings.
An electrical, mechanical, and fabrication construction services company requested 3D laser scanning and BIM modeling services to capture point cloud data and generate a 3D model of the inlet and outlet flange information for 27 natural gas separator units and 64 meter/regulation skids. A GPRS Project Manager captured detailed flange information, including bolt hole orientation, elevation information, and pitch of flanges with a 3D laser scanner. Then, using the point cloud data collected, the GPRS Mapping & Modeling Team generated a 3D model of each skid’s flange information. This information will be used by the client for prefabrication, with the goal of minimizing field changes during installation.
