3D Laser Scanning Services in Texas

Accurate 3D BIM modeling allowed the developer and two architectural firms to collaborate and more easily communicate with their general contractor, which saved time and money on a massive adaptive reuse project

$30 Million Hotel & Parking Garage Adaptive Reuse Project Required Accurate 3D Visualizations

Laser scanning to create a 3D BIM model of a 15-story hotel and adjacent parking garage for building redevelopment. The developer requested a 3D BIM model that accurately captured existing conditions in a cloud-based platform so they could document, view, and plan for structural renovationsWith a 3D model, the architectural team was able to view the existing conditions at the onset of the project. The model was then updated as construction progressed to keep all parties on the same page throughout the projectThe 3D model allowed the firms to communicate construction requirements to the general contractor to avoid miscommunications, reworks, delays, and cost overruns

$30 million-budgeted adaptive reuse project converting 130,000 sq. ft. hotel property into 100 residential units Most floors of the building were completely gutted: only the exterior envelope and interior circulation core remained intact With two architectural firms, a developer, and a G.C. meant that this project involved many professionals a lot of planning before breaking ground The developer requested a 3D BIM model that accurately captured existing conditions in a cloud-based platform so they could document, view, and plan for structural renovations With a 3D model, the architectural team was able to view the existing conditions at the onset of the project.

3D Laser Scanning

GPRS provided laser scanning services to capture data from a staircase and railings to generate a 3D model in STP file format. The target objects of acquisition were the staircase features including treads, rails and rail hangers. The 3D model was needed to create custom drawings to prefabricate an irregular railing.

GPRS is experienced in 3D laser scanning spiral staircases.

Location: New York, NY Task: GPRS provided laser scanning services to capture data from a staircase and railings to generate a 3D model in STP file format. The target objects of acquisition were the staircase features including treads, rails and rail hangers. The 3D model was needed to create custom drawings to prefabricate an irregular railing. Challenge: It was difficult for the client to accurately make three-dimensional measurements of staircase and railing using conventional tools. Manually trying to take enough measurements in the X, Y, Z axis to comprehensively and accurately model the unique shape and contours would have been tedious and nearly impossible. Solutions: High resolution point cloud data was collected by an experienced scan technician in 20 scan locations and four hours on site. Accurate measurements of all parts of the stairway, including the whole step surface, balustrade, handrails and adjacent floor and wall surfaces were quickly captured. Deliverable: GPRS’ in-house engineers delivered intensity map point cloud files, 3D model in STP file format and TruView’s (3D photographs overlaid on top of the point cloud data) to the client.Added Value: The GPRS scan technician was met on site by an Italian-based design firm to discuss using the 3D model to generate design specs. In this case, the client was interested in dimensions of the railing for fabrication. 3D laser scanning generates point cloud data and engineers can summarize the data into a 3D model. Every dimension on the staircase can be determined quickly and accurately. Another benefit of laser scanning includes being able to immerse a viewer in the virtual scene without the need for a site visit. 3D laser scanning is a powerful tool for capturing measurements where precision and accuracy are critical.

3D Laser Scanning

GPRS 3D laser scan data helped with the proceedings of a criminal trial by providing all parties involved an accurate, 3D picture of the crime scene.

To collect precise 3D laser scans of a crime scene to aid both sides in trial proceedings

GPRS 3D laser scanning provided precise, unbiased crime scene data in Pine, CO, aiding trial proceedings with accurate sightline analysis and court-ready 3D models.

3D Laser Scans Provide a Precise Look at a Crime Scene for a Criminal Trial Bottom Line - GPRS 3D laser scan data helped with the proceedings of a criminal trial by providing all parties involved an accurate, 3D picture of the crime scene. Industry: 3D laser scanning services Service: 3D Laser Scanning Location: Pine, CO Deliverables: Point cloud and 3D model Task - To collect precise 3D laser scans of a crime scene to aid both sides in trial proceedings. Problem - Scans from the point of view of those involved are needed to fairly try the man charged in court - The area was heavily forested and scanning was necessary to capture sight lines through trees Solution - Highly detailed scans of the area were provided using the RTC360 laser scanner - The scans will be used by the client to create the renderings that will be shown in court Benefits - The 3D point clouds provided all parties involved more than enough data to analyze - Results were delivered to the client in time for the trial - As evidence in a trial, the data is completely unbiased and impartial
