Location: Fairmont, NE Task: GPRS mobilized to Fairmont, Nebraska to 3D laser scan a food grade corn processing facility. The target objects of point cloud data acquisition were tanks, silos, hoppers, conveyors, support cables, machinery, equipment, cleaning house and loading drive-thru. GPRS’ engineering team created an LOD 200 Revit model of the facility. The client also requested floor flatness analysis/contour mapping around several tanks. Challenge: The client needed accurate and precise detail of the facility in point cloud and model form, especially the congested areas. The client was concerned with differences in tank displacement; therefore, they requested tank farm slab elevation contours. Solution: An experienced project manager captured more than 160 scan locations with a Leica survey-grade laser scanner. The facility was scanned from the ground to capture the tanks, bins, silos, hoppers and discharge area under the 11 hoppers. The facility was 3D laser scanned at elevations with stair and elevator access to capture the spouting and conveyors at the top of each tank, silo and bin. Scanning was completed from the accessible roof to capture the equipment, cables and machinery present. The cleaning house was also scanned at multiple elevations to capture the entire room. The project manager increased the resolution and density of the point cloud to capture more detail in congested areas with small conduits, piping and flanges. With the millions of data points collected, GPRS’ engineering team could model this project with accuracy and precision. Concrete slab flatness can be quickly analyzed with laser scanning. GPRS engineers colored the cloud in respect to elevation to illustrate high or low points in the concrete. Deliverables: GPRS delivered unified point clouds in PTS file format, structured individual scans in E57 file format, a colorized point cloud (.rcs and/or .rcp file format) and JetStream Viewer files to the client. An LOD 200 Revit 2021 BIM model was created with the following elements: • Basic structural elements including exposed columns and beams • The general shape of 6 tanks with high detail at discharge locations and high detail on gates to conveyors • Rail spur within vicinity of tanks • Catwalks and equipment on tanks • Fall protection • Edge of adjacent building • Approximate grade GPRS delivered a graphical elevation map, contours and spot elevations for the requested tanks. This included AutoCAD, PDF, and Civil 3D files to generate contours around the tank farm. Added Value: GPRS works closely with each client to ensure their needs are met. Point cloud files were immediately uploaded to Cintoo for the client’s use. They were able to add annotations or tags to anything they might want modeled. To minimize modeling costs, all modeling is done as a “best fit” method, utilizing solids overlaid on the point cloud data. To verify the spot elevations, GPRS also provided tank roof elevations shown colored by point cloud elevation.

Quote from GPRS Team Member: “The scanning and modeling teams worked around the clock, sometimes 7 days a week, to complete this project. The hard work paid off and we’re thrilled with the result – one of our most highly-detailed architectural 3D models to date.” - Nate Baker, GPRS Service Line Leader – 3D Laser Scanning Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Task: GPRS Laser Scanning developed an as-built model to aid this client in converting a historic building into a luxury hotel. GPRS provided 3D scanning services for a 250,000 square-foot building, including the exterior facades, floors 1-4, basement, roof, penthouses and mechanical spaces. GPRS’ team of in-house architects, engineers and CAD Technicians delivered point cloud files, a 3D model, and TruViews to the client. Challenge: The client was challenged with acquiring highly detailed architectural data including walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, balustrades, colonnades etc., and structural data including exposed columns and beams to design the renovation. Due to the size of the building and the ornate features, traditional methods would have taken months to complete and would not have been as accurate or anywhere near as detailed. Solutions: The GPRS scan technician completed 1,680 laser scans in 15 days (an average of over 100 scans per day!) with a Leica P20 ScanStation. A 3D Revit model with varying degrees of LOD 200 and LOD 300 modeling was generated by GPRS’ engineers based on the client’s instruction. Some areas of the building, such as the main lobby and exterior facades, required finer modeling detail over 350. This was deciphered through several project scope conferences between GPRS and the client. Deliverables: GPRS delivered point cloud files (.rcs file formats), a 3D Revit model and TruViews to the client. GPRS worked closely with the project architect to review the model in real time utilizing BIM360 software for shared viewing of the model in its current state throughout the 2-month project. Added Value: 3D laser scanning aids the process of architectural design from the early stages of site documentation and conceptualization, to monitoring construction progress and verifying as-built accuracy. Aside from the benefits of quickly and accurately creating detailed as-built drawings of a site, the data acquired through laser scanning has continued value throughout the project's life. Laser scanning and modeling is exploding in the AEC industry. 3D laser scanning creates a smooth BIM workflow, from the acquisition of data to a polished 3D model. Scan to BIM services are becoming more popular as the need for intelligent 3D CAD models grows.

Using 3D Laser Scanning For Facility Design Modification

When plant engineers at a pet food packaging facility needed to make modifications, they asked GPRS 3D Laser Scanning to provide as built documentation and a 3D model to plan retrofits to the existing structure. The project site consisted of 140,000 sq. ft. of interior space. Approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of this was single-story warehouse space, consisting of a central palletizer, semi- truck loading bays and temporary material storage. The remaining 40,000 sq. ft. contained 7 levels of elevated platforms containing product packaging equipment. TruePoint captured all architectural and structural features, equipment, conduit and piping.
Transforming a pet food facility with GPRS 3D Laser Scanning. Detailed documentation & 3D models streamline retrofit planning. Covering 140k sq.ft., including warehouses & elevated platforms.
CASE STUDY LOCATION Bowling Green, Kentucky TASK: When plant engineers at a pet food packaging facility needed to make modifications, they asked TruePoint Laser Scanning to provide as built documentation and a 3D model to plan retrofits to the existing structure. The project site consisted of 140,000 sq. ft. of interior space. Approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of this was single-story warehouse space, consisting of a central palletizer, semi- truck loading bays and temporary material storage. The remaining 40,000 sq. ft. contained 7 levels of elevated platforms containing product packaging equipment. TruePoint captured all architectural and structural features, equipment, conduit and piping. PROBLEM SOLUTION BENEFITS n By using laser scanning instead of traditional survey methods, TruePoint saved this client thousands of dollars in field survey work and drafting time, and provided greater detail than what would have otherwise been possible. With an accurate, comprehensive data set, plant engineers were able to complete virtual interference checks, avoiding design rework costs. n In two days on site, TruePoint’s experienced project managers 3D scanned the 140,000 sq. ft. area with millimeter accuracy. 523 scans were taken with the Leica P50 and RTC 360 laser scanners. This project was scanned on the weekend to avoid disruption to production. n After proper data registration, TruePoint’s in-house modeling team built an information-rich 3D BIM model for the client. TruePoint’s experienced team has optimized workflows for importing data, registration, creating deliverables, quality checks and transferring data to clients. n No as built plans existed for the facility. The plant was complex, capturing the existing spatial data of the conduit and piping in a high level of detail was important to the plant engineers. n There were silos and other pieces of large equipment that would be difficult to measure precisely using traditional or manual measuring techniques. /// GPRS LASER SCANNING SERVICES ///// 3D LASER SCANNING CASE STUDY: USING 3D LASER SCANNING FOR FACILITY DESIGN MODIFICATIONS “IT’S HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE HOW THIS PET FOOD PACKAGING FACILITY COULD HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WITHOUT 3D LASER SCANNING.” TRUEPOINT PROJECT MANAGER
