3D Laser Scanning Services in South Dakota

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.

Existing Conditions, a GPRS Company, provided 3D laser scanning and modeling services to support the completion of an award-winning expansion to Boston Logan International Airport.

Existing Conditions, a GPRS Company, provided 3D laser scanning and modeling services to support the completion of an award-winning expansion to Boston Logan International Airport.

• AECOM, Suffolk Construction, and Luis Vidal + Architects needed accurate existing conditions documentation of multiple existing spaces inside the airport • The contractor also needed precise as-built documentation of the new construction prior to sheetrock installation, to comply with Massport (Massachusetts Port Authority) regulations • Many of the spaces that needed to be scanned were congested with MEP runs and other infrastructure • All work had to be completed while the airport was in operation SOLUTION • Existing Conditions utilized multiple 3D laser scanners, including the small and nimble Leica BLK360 laser scanner, to capture the required data • The contractor was so impressed with our work on the initial project that they asked us back to scan additional spaces • 3D Revit models were created using the scan data to allow for remote planning BENEFITS • The accurate and comprehensive as-built data provided Boston Logan with a detailed record of the building’s current state before renovations were completed, and of the new construction • Highly detailed, accurate digital measurements assisted with the safe and successful expansion of the structure • The client and their subcontractors could reference this data as they completed their work, and it will be preserved for future O&M purposes

Raw point cloud data provided an engineering firm in California the accurate measurements they needed to design and plan the expansion of a water treatment facility in Texas thanks to 3D laser scanning

Capture accurate existing conditions and provide raw as-built, point cloud data for the expansion of a water treatment plant

An engineering firm was generating construction drawings to expand an existing water treatment plant. The firm required accurate field conditions in raw point cloud data (.rcp files and related supporting files) to create new layouts for construction.

No as-built drawings existed for the water treatment plant. Accurate existing conditions were needed to plan for the facility expansion • Exact dimensions were required to plan modifications and fabricate pipe • The project's engineering firm was located in California; the water treatment plant was located in Texas. They needed accurate information available in a digital platform to begin design planning Solution • Using a Leica Scan Station, a GPRS Project Manager completed 40 laser scans of the building to capture architectural, structural, and MEP features • The client received a colorized point cloud in ReCap (.rcp files and related supporting files) and TruView files that allowed the engineering firm and the plant to coordinate off-site planning and prefabrication for the expansion Benefits Laser scanning is an extremely efficient and accurate way to gather data necessary to create construction drawings of a building or space. • 3D laser scanning eliminated the firm's travel to the Water Treatment Plant. In one day on site, enough scans were taken to create a complete colorized point cloud of the space. • 3D laser scan data provided the Engineering Firm critical tie points on tanks and lines, information that was crucial to the expansion.
