3D Laser Scanning Services in Virginia

Providing both a 3D BIM model and a 2D reflected ceiling plan allowed various trades and MEP professionals to work without disturbing each other's timelines, to finish the project with fewer mistakes, reworks, and less cost.

Use 3D laser scanning to create a BIM model for new construction coordination in Paoli, Pennsylvania.

GPRS provided a detailed Revit 3D BIM model and reflected ceiling plan to keep a large project on schedule and reduce clashes and reworks.

Only the building shell existed, but did include the foundation, structural skeleton, columns, beams, and fire suppression system pipingA BIM model was requested to complete the design, minimize clashes, and plan for field coordinationThe VDC engineer wanted each trade to be able to conduct their specific work without interference from other trades A 3D Revit model was created from the point cloud with standard detail that included architectural, structural, and MEP featuresA reflected ceiling plan, an architectural drawing that shows visible objects located on the ceiling of a space, was delivered for MEP coordination2D plans and 3D models allowed this client to complete the design, communicate the scope of work to each trade, and efficiently schedule work to be completed Model-based implementations are the foundation of our client’s VDC department. They plan site layout and work sequencing for efficient logistics and safety.Because the VDC engineer received an accurate as-built model to place all building components and MEP into, they were able to effectively plan and communicate to minimize trade interference, clashes, installation problems, rework, and additional costs

GPRS 3D laser scanned three 100-year old trees and provided the client with intensity map point cloud files and a 3D mesh of the trees to include them in the design plan.

The client desired to laser scan three 100-year old trees and include them in the design plans for a new housing development. GPRS 3D laser scanned the trees and provided the client with intensity map point cloud files and a 3D mesh of the trees. This was GPRS’ second phase of laser scanning for this client.

GPRS 3D laser scanned and provided the client with intensity map point cloud files and a 3D mesh of trees for reality capture.

Location: Austin, Texas Task: The client desired to laser scan three 100-year old trees and include them in the design plans for a new development. GPRS 3D laser scanned the trees and provided the client with intensity map point cloud files and a 3D mesh of the trees for reality capture. This was GPRS’ second phase of laser scanning for this client. Challenge: The client could not accurately capture the location, exact dimensions and detail of the three trees. They needed laser scanning services to include the trees in the design plan. It was important to capture the existing conditions without damaging the tree trunks or limbs. Solutions: GPRS’ Texas office used a Leica C10 ScanStation to capture the three trees and the surrounding area. Accurate 3D measurements were captured in a few hours on site in a fast and environmentally friendly manner. Laser scanners are non-contact, they scan from tripods on the ground up to 300 yards, keeping the environment untouched. Deliverables: GPRS provided the client with intensity map point cloud files and 3D mesh of the trees. This can be pulled into an existing Revit or AutoCAD model and aligned with the design plan, as well as be used in reality capture software. Added Value: GPRS incorporated the first and second mobilization into the same coordinate system which allowed the separate projects to be put on the same coordinates and relate the projects to one another even though they were captured at different times. This allowed the client to create their design model more accurately and preserve the 100-year-old trees. 3D information is invariant to lighting and shadow. As a result, significantly more data was acquired by laser scanning the tree, and much more accurately than hand measuring. Laser scanning services are the solution for capturing spatial data in a fast, efficient and highly accurate way.

3D Laser Scanning

The cost avoidance impact of the integrated scan-to-BIM workflow saved the project an estimated 5% of the total contract amount, a savings of approximately $1,500,000.

GPRS provided 3D laser scanning and modeling services for a 15-story structure in the greater Cincinnati, Ohio area. This included 8 floors of commercial space, 2 stories of retail, 5 levels of parking garage, as well as the exterior façade and roof surface. The GPRS Project Manager captured over 1.54 million square-feet of space, and in-house engineers created a custom Revit model based on the point cloud of the existing conditions. Once construction was complete, this project received the 2017 Build Ohio Award for New Construction Over $30 million.
