Header: A GPRS Case Study: 3D Laser Scanning a Grain Elevator in Michigan Location: Near Saginaw, Michigan Task: GPRS provided high-definition laser scanning services at a grain elevator in Michigan to capture the as-is conditions of the site. The client needed an accurate representation of the structural features to perform maintenance upgrades. They wanted specific documentation of the bucket elevator legs, fill conveyor bridges and tower supports. Challenge: This was a complex site that included the grain elevator, silos, bins, tanks, conveyors and bridges. The area laser scanned was near 180,000 square feet with heights over 110 feet. Traditional means of measuring would be difficult, costly, time consuming and potentially hazardous. Solutions: The Project Manager completed laser scanning in two days utilizing the Leica C10 and Leica P40 laser scanners. Varying the position of the scanners on the ground and between silos, the technician was able to capture this complex site from a variety of angles. Additionally, the Project Manager occupied elevated positions and tied those scans to the scans performed at grade. All the scanning could be safely performed from a distance without climbing the structure and without the need for renting lifts or scaffolding. Deliverables: The client received Autodesk Recap files of the scans (.rcs file format), black and white TruViews of the site, a 3D AutoCAD Model of the site, and section and plan views of the model laid onto the point cloud data with callouts. Added Value: GPRS’ CAD technicians communicated directly with the client to focus on key areas for detailed modeling to model exactly what was needed to keep costs down by avoiding unnecessary modeling effort. Using advanced extraction techniques and specialized software, GPRS was able to accurately represent structural features and deliver these to the client.

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

3D laser scan data will help to identify structural issues, deterioration, and other factors affecting The House of the Seven Gables historical site and deliver the architect 2D plans and a 3D BIM model to develop architectural designs for restoration.

3D laser scan and model The House of the Seven Gables property in Salem, Massachusetts for historical preservation. The exterior shells of the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion (also known as The House of the Seven Gables), The Retire Beckett House, Hooper-Hathaway House, Nathanial Hawthorne Birthplace, Primm House, and features of the Seaside Colonial Revival Gardens were 3D laser scanned with the Leica RTC360, capturing highly detailed and accurate digital as-builts, to deliver 2D elevations and a 3D BIM model of each property to the architect.

Highlights THE BOTTOM LINE 3D laser scan data will help to identify structural issues, deterioration, and other factors affecting The House of the Seven Gables historical site and deliver the architect 2D plans and a 3D model to develop architectural designs for restoration. INDUSTRY Historical Preservation SERVICE 3D Laser Scanning; Mapping & Modeling LOCATION Salem, Massachusetts PM Insight The properties look well preserved from the outside, yet the historic site's preservation manager is aware of the the myriad ways climate change is threatening the integrity of the structures. Deliverables Point Cloud, 3D BIM Model, 2D CAD Elevations Task 3D laser scan and model The House of the Seven Gables property in Salem, Massachusetts for Union Studio Architects historical preservation. The exterior shells of the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion (also known as The House of the Seven Gables), The Retire Beckett House, Hooper-Hathaway House, Nathanial Hawthorne Birthplace, Primm House, and features of the Seaside Colonial Revival Gardens were 3D laser scanned with the Leica RTC360, capturing highly detailed and accurate digital as-builts, to deliver 2D elevations and a 3D BIM model of each property to the architect. PROBLEM The House of the Seven Gables strives to preserve their historic buildings in the face of several challenges, including deterioration due to climate, weakening of the seawall, and mold in the basement of the Nathaniel Hawthorne Birthplace. As a National Historic Landmark District, the property is confined by preservation standards set by the federal government and the town of Salem. Because of these terms, unlike making renovations to a modern home, every modification at the Seven Gables property must be approved by multiple stakeholders to ensure that historical accuracy is maintained. The client also had budget constraints due to the project’s nonprofit status, so the job scope narrowed from 3D laser scanning eight buildings to five. Existing Conditions, a GPRS company, worked closely with Union Studio to efficiently supply them with the data and deliverables they required, knowing the allocated budget for this project. Solution 3D laser scanning will play an important role in the preservation of these historic buildings, by delivering as-built data, drawings, and models for design planning and decision making. 3D laser scanning documented the exterior building shells, delivering precise measurements and building footprints. For the Hooper Hathaway House basement, 3D laser scanning captured the architectural and structural features, geometry, and spatial layout. Benefits 3D laser scanning captured highly detailed and accurate digital measurements of The Gables’ buildings and infrastructure to create as-built drawings and 3D BIM models for this architectural preservation project. Union Studio Architects can reference accurate site data to create and share design plans with all project stakeholders.
