3D Laser Scanning Services in Ohio

The client was able to fabricate components offsite and plan a flawless installation based on our existing condition data and 3D model. Plus, GPRS' work was conducted entirely at night, mitigating any disruption to construction

Field verification to prefabricate ACM panels

Our client was installing ACM panels to the canopy of a newly constructed airport terminal. The construction plans did not match the existing conditions at the site. A deviation could cause a major issue. The installation process needed to be precisely planned to avoid rework.

The construction plans did not match the existing conditions at the site. The installation process needed to be precisely planned to avoid rework • The shape of the canopy was complicated and stood 65 feet in the air. The client needed field verification and a plan to expedite proper installation of the panels • Installers were working overhead in a lift; there was no room for trial and error Solution • The Project Manager conducted a site walk to devise a plan for the client • The canopy and curtain wall of the airport terminal were 3D laser scanned to capture precise as-built data and generate a 3D model and 2D drawings to facilitate ACM panel installation • 22" x 34" 2D CAD drawings were created with the panel layout for the client to take to the field. This allowed each panel to be labeled with a custom number, cut and shim points Benefits • Laser scanning obtained exact measurements for the client and took away any guesswork from this project • To circumvent the active construction site, the Project Manager scanned the site at night to eliminate movement and trades working • The client was able to fabricate components offsite and plan a flawless installation

3D Laser Scanning

3D laser scanning can be used to verify the dimensional accuracy of structural steel components by comparing them to the dimensions specified in the engineering drawings.

Structural steel construction was underway on a $180 million, 127,000 sq. ft. shopping center designed to house 60 retailers. The client requested 3D laser scanning services to capture point cloud data from the structural steel and generate an LOD 200 AutoCAD model to verify the accuracy of existing 2D drawings. GPRS was tasked with 3D laser scanning the site and capturing all structural elements including exposed columns, beams and floor.

TruePoint was tasked with 3D laser scanning the site and capturing all structural elements including the exposed columns, beams and floor.

“We greatly appreciate TruePoint’s willingness to work in tandem with the other trades onsite and schedule their work around construction obstacles." -- R. Serra, Architect Location: Staten Island, NY Task: Structural steel construction was underway on a $180 million, 127,000 sq. ft. shopping center designed to house 60 retailers. The client requested 3D laser scanning services to capture point cloud data from the structural steel and generate an LOD 200 AutoCAD model to verify the accuracy of existing 2D drawings. TruePoint was tasked with 3d laser scanning the site and capturing all structural elements including exposed columns, beams and floor. Challenge: Verifying the accuracy of structural steel at this stage of construction is vital. Shop drawings sometimes do not reflect actual site conditions. With a project of this scope, possession of valid 2D drawings of the existing field conditions is imperative to keep the project on schedule. Solutions: 3D laser scanning measures large and complex steel structures quickly, precisely, and comprehensively. TruePoint 3D laser scanning professionals used survey-grade Leica laser scanners to capture the highest quality 3D data of the site. The TruePoint engineering team then converts the point cloud data into a 3D AutoCAD model and aligns it to the client’s 2D drawings. This allows structural engineers to verify the accuracy of the existing construction documentation. Deliverable: TruePoint’s team of in-house engineers delivered a 3D AutoCAD model of existing structural steel aligned to existing 2D AutoCAD drawings on the nearly 127,000 sq. ft. site. Analysis from 3D scan data is the best way to ensure precise measurements when dimensions are critical. Added Value: TruePoint quickly mobilized several in multiple phases in order to work around obstructions caused by ongoing construction and weather elements. TruePoint is a highly experienced team of 3D laser scanning professionals who deliver exceptional service, accurate data, and custom deliverables to expedite your project. TruePoint can quickly mobilize to your site and provide free quotes. 3D scanning provides a more accurate and complete model for structural engineers.

3D Laser Scanning

A Revit model will expedite design changes and fabrication of equipment to increase production capacity at the manufacturing plant.

3D laser scan a manufacturing facility that is receiving upgrades to three of its lines to capture point cloud data and generate a 3D Revit Model.

A specialty compound manufacturer was upgrading three manufacturing lines at its plant as part of a larger capital improvement plan.

A specialty compound manufacturer was upgrading three manufacturing lines at its plant as part of a larger capital improvement plan.The facility was originally built in the 1980's and has expanded several times over the years.Multiple levels in the facility needed scanned at a very high level of detail, capturing structural, architectural, MEP and civil elements, along with a site plan.The following areas required 3D laser scanning services:On the ground production level, GPRS captured extruder areas for lines 1-3 and process equipment.On the mezzanine level, GPRS captured mixers for each extrusion line.On the second floor, GPRS captured blender areas for lines 1-3, process equipment, air handling equipment, and additional rooms.Outside, GPRS captured the tank farm and silo farm. GPRS provides 3D laser scanning services for facility upgrades and expansions, delivering 2-4mm accurate dimensions of building infrastructure: structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing features; furnaces, equipment, conduit and piping. With an accurate, comprehensive data set, plant engineers can install new equipment and upgrade the three manufacturing lines. The facility was 3D laser scanned on the weekend to minimize interruption to the manufacturing lines.73 scans were performed in one day with the Leica P40 ScanStation and the Leica RTC360 laser scanner, acquiring very high detail of the plant.Colorized point cloud, TruView Viewer files, and a Revit model were delivered to the client. 3D laser scanning and a Revit model will expedite design changes and fabrication of equipment to increase production capacity.The investment of laser scanning will reduce the project timeline, minimize downtime and change orders -- providing cost savings for the client.This client is pioneering innovation in its industry -- upgrading the lines with updated extruders will increase capacity for long-term growth while minimizing stoppages, set-up times, and scrap material.
