3D Laser Scanning The House of the Seven Gables Historical Site

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.

Construction Laser Scan of Office Building

ClearEdge3D Edgewise software was used to process piping and quickly create a 3D MEP BIM model for the client.
GPRS 3D laser scanned 40,000 square feet of office space on the 6th floor of a building in Cincinnati, Ohio. The area was recently renovated, and the objective was to capture MEP features to create an accurate as-built survey for the client. GPRS’ Project Manager used a Leica P40 ScanStation to capture 3D point cloud data for the GPRS’ Mapping and Modeling team to create a 3D BIM model.

Location: Cincinnati, OH Task: GPRS 3D laser scanned 40,000 square feet of office space on the 6th floor of a building in Cincinnati. The area was recently renovated, and the objective was to capture MEP features to create an accurate as-built survey for the client. GPRS’ Project Manager used a Leica P40 ScanStation to capture 3D point cloud data and GPRS’ in-house engineers created a 3D CAD model. Challenge: The client wanted to complete the laser scan after the space had been framed in, but before the ceiling grid and tiles were installed. This gave the client a very limited window of time to capture the above ceiling piping. They wanted to quickly and accurately capture all MEP components and pipes, so they could install the ceiling and begin to populate the space. Solutions: GPRS maintained constant communication with the client to schedule the scanning just before ceiling grid was installed. With just a few days’ notice, the Project Manager mobilized to the site. GPRS’ experienced technician could ensure that 3D laser scan technology would completely and accurately capture the as-built site conditions. Laser scanning was completed while other contractors continued their work, and complex areas were scheduled during the hours when contractors were off-site. Deliverables: GPRS provided the client with Autodesk Recap files and Black and White Leica TruViews. Also, using preliminary EdgeWise extraction, GPRS engineers provided an AutoCAD .dwg file to the client. Added Value: The scan technician worked during off-peak times, which expedited GPRS’ time on site. Additionally, GPRS’ engineers are trained and experienced in numerous software applications and can create custom deliverables for each client quickly. In this case, ClearEdge 3D Edgewise software was used to process piping and quickly create a 3D model.
