3D Laser Scanning Services in Nebraska

In less than two hours on site, GPRS 3D Laser Scanning captured all aboveground features and utility field markings that were then used to provide integrated above and below-ground plan view of the campus via 2D CAD drawings to plan HVAC upgrades, and have accurate existing condition documentation for future use

A Los Angeles, California high school required 3D laser scanning of the above ground and below ground infrastructure to create 2D CAD drawings and plan for HVAC system upgrades throughout the campus

In less than two hours on site, GPRS 3D Laser Scanning captured all aboveground features and utility field markings that were then used to provide a integrated above and below-ground plan view of the campus via 2D CAD drawings to plan HVAC upgrades, and have accurate existing condition documentation for future use.

Problem • A 12-year-old high school was replacing the piping on 16 HVAC units throughout the campus. • The piping for these units runs intricately in and out of buildings, and through retaining walls and mechanical yards. • The areas that the pipes thread through do not have any as-builts or existing plans. Solution • Using the Leica RTC360 laser scanner, a Project Manager captured elements of the surrounding campus and GPR markings in less than hours on site • This project was laser scanned in full color, allowing the client to easily visualize and identify structural elements, pipes, conduits, and concrete reinforcement points inside the point cloud • CAD engineers created 2D AutoCAD floor plans and exterior elevations, PDFs with and without the point cloud overlayed Benefits • The combination of laser scanning structural and ground penetrating radar markings provided the client a high definition 3D comprehensive view of the campus, including both visible and invisible elements • With 3D laser scan data, the client can verify the HVAC mechanical equipment with confidence knowing high accuracy instruments minimize position error throughout the 3D space • The client has the most up-to date, accurate and comprehensive information to design HVAC upgrades

3D Laser Scanning

GPRS’ accurate measurements allowed the client to order dimensionally-correct windows for each specific opening, thus reducing any change orders for this project. The client can review the 6-story building and its openings in 3 separate deliverables: the point cloud, the 2D drawings, and the TruViews.

To capture the dimensions of all the window openings on the building.

GPRS captured the accurate dimensions of the window openings safely from the ground.

Location: Detroit, Michigan Task: To capture the dimensions of all the window openings on the building. Challenge: The building was a 6-story building with windows on all four sides. The height alone of a 6-story building can create enough challenges when obtaining accurate measurements of window dimensions. This project, however, presented additional challenges. For example, the exterior of the building was not easily accessible by lift or scaffolding due to its being located along a busy road with minimal right of way. Additionally, the other sides of the building also had obstacles which further limited access to the windows. Solutions: By utilizing laser scanning, a non-contact measurement tool, GPRS was able to capture the accurate dimensions of the window openings safely from the ground, as well as from other safe locations. Windowsills can sometimes be difficult to capture when scanning from the ground, but our scan technicians were able to set up on and scan from surrounding buildings and rooftops to ensure enough elevation to capture these features accurately for our client. And since laser scanning is not only safe and accurate, but also is extremely fast, the field work was limited to one day. Deliverable: GPRS provided our client with 2D elevations in AutoCAD, which included the dimensions of the edge of existing rough openings dictated by the limestone cladding. Additionally, we supplied our client with TruViews – 3D photographs overlaid on top of the point cloud, allowing for rudimentary measurements directly from the photos. The client can now view the building and its openings in 3 separate deliverables: the point cloud, the 2D drawings, and the TruViews. Added Value: Many times, in field measuring, there is an assumption made, after measuring several similar units, that others will likely be of the same dimensions. With laser scanning we can easily and accurately determine the dimensions of each opening individually. As is common with many older buildings, many of the openings of this building appeared to be the same size but, in fact, varied enough to cause potential problems. GPRS’ accurate measurements allowed the client to order dimensionally-correct windows for each specific opening, thus reducing any change orders for windows that did not fit perfectly the first time they were placed.

3D Laser Scanning

When generating mixed reality experiences, computer-generated objects must precisely interact with the physical environment to sell the realism. 3D laser scanning captures existing site conditions with great accuracy.

GPRS laser scanned SoFi Stadium for our client, The Famous Group, to create a mixed-reality experience for the Super Bowl. Using the RTC360 laser scanner, a GPRS project manager 3D laser scanned the stadium and the Mapping & Modeling Team delivered an LOD 200 Revit 3D model for augmented reality use.

TruePoint 3D laser scanned SoFi Stadium for our client, The Famous Group, to create a mixed-reality experience for the Super Bowl.

Location: SoFi Stadium -- Inglewood, California Task: TruePoint 3D laser scanned SoFi Stadium for our client, The Famous Group, to create a mixed-reality experience for the Super Bowl. Using the RTC360 laser scanner, TruePoint's project manager 3D laser scanned the stadium and our in-house team of CAD technicians delivered an LOD 200 Revit 3D model for augmented reality use. The stadium has 70,240 seats — which can be expanded to 100,240 for major events like the Super Bowl — 260 executive suites and a unique design to protect from potential seismic activity. Additionally, a 2.2 million-pound Infinity Screen by Samsung video board is suspended from the roof over the field. SoFi Stadium by the numbers 298 acres. 3.1 million square feet. 70,000 seats, expandable to 100,000 for major events and concerts. 100,000 tons of steel and cable installed. 260 luxury suites. 13,000 premium seats. 23 elevators, 40 escalators and 2,638 doors. Solution: In 2 days on site, TruePoint's project manager documented the as-built conditions of the stadium. Using the RTC360 laser scanner, TruePoint 3D laser scanned SoFi stadium, including the field, goal posts, sidelines, end zone, walls, tunnel entrances, scoreboards, concourse, stairs, stands, and suites. An intensity map point cloud and LOD 200 Revit 3D model was delivered for augmented reality use. Deliverables: All deliverables are created in our corporate office by experienced engineers and CAD technicians. TruePoint delivered the following to the client: Colorized Point Cloud in .rcs file format Revit 2021 LOD 200 3D Model of Stadium Added Value: For more than 20 years, The Famous Group has created mixed reality and augmented reality for Fortune 500 brands, professional sports events, esports, concerts, festivals and retail environments. Super Bowl Sunday is an opportunity to showcase this cutting-edge technology before a global audience.
