3D Laser Scanning Services in Pennsylvania

3D laser scanning captures real-world spaces with millimeter precision for clients to create engaging virtual reality experiences.

GPRS 3D laser scanned the Hard Rock Stadium for use in a mixed-reality experience during the 2020 Super Bowl on February 2. Mixed reality is a blend of physical and virtual worlds that includes both real and computer-generated objects. The two worlds are "mixed" together to create a realistic environment.

Case Study: TruePoint 3D Laser Scans Hard Rock Stadium For Mixed Reality Super Bowl Feature We would like to thank The Famous Group, the Miami Dolphins and the Hard Rock Stadium for allowing us to be a part of this project.” - Ryan Hacker, President of TruePoint Laser Scanning Location: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, Florida Task: TruePoint 3D laser scanned the Hard Rock Stadium for use in a mixed-reality experience during the 2020 Super Bowl on February 2. Mixed reality is a blend of physical and virtual worlds that includes both real and computer-generated objects. The two worlds are "mixed" together to create a realistic environment. Challenge: It was important to the client that the existing spatial layout was captured with great accuracy. When generating the mixed reality experience, computer-generated objects must precisely interact with the physical environment to sell the realism. Solution: The upper and lower stands, field topography, LED display screens, LED ribbon around stadium, two Hard Rock Stadium signs and roof structure were documented with a survey-grade Leica P40 ScanStation. In two days onsite, 172 laser scans of precise point cloud data was captured. TruePoint’s team of in-house engineers quickly generated a 3D Revit model for the client. The client planned to use Autodesk Maya, a 3D computer animation, modeling and rendering software to create an augmented reality (AR) simulation. Deliverables: TruePoint delivered point cloud files in .rcs format, a 3D Revit Model, and a FBX file. The client was also able to view the model progress using Autodesk A360, a web-browser application that allows engineers and project teams to work together more easily in an online workspace. Added Value: “Everything we do at TruePoint Laser Scanning is highly custom. This client wanted portions of the stadium modeled in LOD 100 and portions modeled in LOD 300. Our deliverables were customized, so the client is only paying for what they need,” Aaron Hunt, Lead Technical Manager.

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.

3D Laser Scanning

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
