PM Insight
The cost of laser scanning and modeling should easily be offset by the cost savings from reduced re-work during the facility renovations.
Deliverables
GPRS delivered a point cloud .rcp file, JetStream Viewer files, and an LOD 300 Revit model to the client.
PROJECT APPLICATION
ASK
Task
A pharmaceutical company was installing some new equipment in various areas of the facility. Existing machinery was being removed, new machinery was being installed and MEP piping was being re-routed throughout the area. GPRS provided laser scanning services to collect point cloud data on four levels and generate a 3D model for the client. Before starting renovations of this existing facility, the client desired to document existing conditions to plan layout and process flow upgrades.
PROBLEM
Upgrading existing pharmaceutical manufacturing sites can be challenging. The space available is restricted and bringing in new equipment is sometimes tricky. Our client needed to make several tie-ins and requested a Revit model for planning.
Solution
Using the Leica P50 ScanStation, GPRS captured structural features, plus MEP piping and equipment ½ inch and above. An LOD 300 Revit model was requested to ensure more accurate, efficient, and cost-effective execution of the project. With planning, the client was able to install the new machinery and re-route piping without any field rework. This also resulted in reduced downtime and significant savings by returning the facility to production quickly.
The GPRS Mapping & Modeling team created an LOD 300 Revit model with the following details for the client:
- Pipe - 72,000 linear feet
- Conduit - 75,000 linear feet
- Duct - 11,000 linear feet
- Piping modeled down to 1/2 inch in diameter
Benefits
The use of laser scan technology has resulted in accurate and efficient data collection, true as built documentation, cost savings due to improved design accuracy, and improved project visualization and collaboration.
