3D Laser Scanning Services in Michigan

The Kennedy Space Center used GPRS 3D laser scanning services during recent upgrades to Launch Complex 39B. Our client was installing piping from the mechanical room under the launch pad up to the surface where they terminate, rerouting overhead piping through the mechanical room, as well as, removing and installing new equipment. GPRS delivered accurate and reliable as-built data for the Kennedy Space Center to plan upgrades and reroute piping.

The Kennedy Space Center – Cape Canaveral, Florida 3D BIM Model to Upgrade Launch Complex 39B ‍ TASK: The Kennedy Space Center used GPRS 3D laser scanning services during recent upgrades to Launch Complex 39B. Our client was installing piping from the mechanical room under the launch pad up to the surface where they terminate, rerouting overhead piping through the mechanical room, as well as, removing and installing new equipment. GPRS delivered accurate and reliable as built data for the Kennedy Space Center to plan upgrades and reroute piping. ‍ CHALLENGE: The client needed fast and accurate as built documentation of the project areas so they could effectively plan upgrades and piping routes and note any clash points. Understanding exactly where the mechanical room equipment was located below the launch pad surface was crucial to this project and difficult to determine using a method other than 3D laser scanning. ‍ SOLUTION: The GPRS Mapping & Modeling Team delivered an LOD 300 3D BIM model of the structural and MEP details. Accurate information helped the client plan for the equipment and piping and determine the vertical penetration points. This saved time and money by prefabricating the piping offsite and minimizing rework from misaligned pipes and equipment.

3D Laser Scanning

Our client required a high-detail 3D BIM model to accurately visualize, design, modify, and manage the update of a heat exchanger within a Wastewater Treatment facility, enabling efficient updates and modifications without the need for extensive on-site measurements or manual drafting.

GPRS was called to 3D laser scan the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant and render an LOD 300 BIM model of the three-level heat exchanger for ABC Piping Co. to update one of the systems.

GPRS 3D laser scanned the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant to develop a LOD 300 3D BIM model for ABC Piping Co. to update one of the heat exchangers at the facility.

Highlights THE BOTTOM LINE Our client required a high-detail 3D BIM model to accurately visualize, design, modify, and manage the update of a heat exchanger within a Wastewater Treatment facility, enabling efficient updates and modifications without the need for extensive on-site measurements or manual drafting. INDUSTRY Water Treatment Plant & Wastewater Treatment Plant SERVICE 3D Laser Scanning; Mapping & Modeling LOCATION Cleveland, Ohio PM Insight The Leica RTC360 can generate 3D point clouds in less than 2 minutes, delivering our clients quick data visualization for project planning. The Leica RTC360 scans in color, which is useful when you need a true representation of a site in color detail. Deliverables LOD 300 3D BIM Model Task GPRS was called to 3D laser scan the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant and render an LOD 300 BIM model of the three-level heat exchanger for ABC Piping Co. to update one of the systems. PROBLEM Our client desired to upgrade the heat exchanger to reduce maintenance, energy consumption, and overall operational expenses in the long term. To properly design, prefabricate, and install system updates, ABC Piping Co. required a detailed 3D BIM model of the current mechanical and piping system, including pipe sizes, materials, and routing. Solution GPRS partnered with ABC Piping Co. to 3D laser scan and model the heat exchanger at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant for upgrades. GPRS utilized the Leica RTC360 laser scanner to capture as-built conditions from 3 different floors around the existing heat exchangers. 108 laser scans were taken with the RTC360 from different locations to capture the intricate details of this very dense mechanical facility. The 3D BIM model provideed a detailed and accurate representation of the existing heat exchangers within the facility, enabling engineers and designers to clearly understand the spatial relationships, constraints, and interdependencies between various components. Benefits 3D laser scanning captured precise layout, dimensions, and locations of the existing architectural, structural, MEP, FP, and HVAC system elements for this facility in a point cloud. The GPRS Mapping & Modeling team transformed point cloud data into an intelligent 3D BIM model to aid system engineering. A 3D BIM model saved in a shared environment allowed all disciplines to work together to identify and resolve clashes before the system integration begins, ensuring a smooth retrofit with minimal rework. ‍

A GPRS Project Manager 3D laser scanned 4,000 s.f. of existing retail space to provide 2D CAD drawings, a 3D virtual tour, a colorized point cloud, and a 3D BIM model to a client who was renovating a 30-year-old location.

Capturing 4,000 s.f. of Retail Space for New Tenant's Redesign

GPRS 3D Laser Scanning Services provided 3D reality capture, 2D CAD drawings, point cloud, a 3D virtual tour, and BIM model to redesign a retail location for a new tenant in Austin, Texas.

An Austin-based maker of cowboy boots and western wear was moving retail locationsThe previous tenant had occupied the location for more than 30 years The new tenant desired 2D floor plans and a 3D BIM model for a virtual walkthrough of the propertyThe previous tenant still occupied the active storefront, so scanning had to be completed after hours to avoid business interruptions Utilizing a Leica P-Series laser scanner, the GPRS Project Manager completed 24 scans of the 4,000 s.f property in one eveningLaser scanning captured measurements and virtual tour data to help the new tenant plan the store layoutGPRS Mapping & Modeling Team provided the tenant with a colorized point cloud, architectural 2D floorplans, a 3D BIM model, and virtual tour of the property 3D laser scanning is the fastest way to capture existing building conditions, documenting every detail into a digital mapMeasurements and point cloud data is accurate within 2-4mm to allow for accurate 2D and 3D as-builts3D virtual walk throughs allow the tenant to view the site remotely to easily plan and implement floor layouts and merchandisingWhile the renovations were initially designed in Rhino, the client planned to export Rhino models into Revit for further refinement and documentation
