3D Laser Scanning Services in Iowa

GPRS captured point cloud data to generate a 3D as-built model from which the client could take measurements and locate key features that could be affected by the seating renovation.

GPRS laser scanned a historic theater, including the main floor, three balcony levels, and box seats to generate a 3D Revit model for seating renovations. The target objects of data acquisition were structural features, including exposed columns and beams; and the architectural envelope of the audience area, including walls, floors, ceilings, doors, openings, railings, seats, floor, and lighting.

GPRS 3D laser scanned a historic theatre to generate a 3D Revit model for seating renovations. Case Study: 3D Laser Scanning A Theatre To Generate A 3D Model Location: Philadelphia, PA Task: GPRS laser scanned a historic theater, including the main floor, three balcony levels and box seats to generate a 3D Revit model for seating renovations. The target objects of data acquisition were structural features, including exposed columns and beams; and the architectural envelope of the audience area, including walls, floors, ceilings, doors, openings, railings, seats, floor and lighting. Problem: The client did not have accurate as-builts to plan and layout the new seating and understand the grade of the main floor and balconies. Manually measuring for this would have been time consuming and less accurate. Solution: 3D laser scanning will provide the client precise, as-built documentation of the historic theater, including floor slope, balcony and ceiling heights. GPRS captured point cloud data to generate a 3D as-built model from which the client could take measurements and locate key features that could be affected by the seating renovation. Benefits: GPRS’ in-house CAD technicians created a 3D Revit model for the client. Revit families were created for all the varying features so that each layer could be selected or de-selected depending on which portion of the model was being analyzed by the client. Accurate data facilitates timely and cost-efficient decisions. The 3D model will be crucial to plan for enhancements that are made to the space. This model could further be used to study the room acoustics and how adding/removing/changing objects would impact the reflection of sound.

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

To complete the restoration of the church, the client required accurate 2D CAD drawings with precise measurements of the structural and architectural elements.

Our client needed accurate as built documentation to complete a $1.2 million restoration and improvement project for a historic church. The 1875-built church in Glandorf, Ohio was the largest Roman Catholic church built at the time. Built in Neo-Gothic style, it contained a 225-foot spire, beautiful statues imported from Austria and stained-glass windows imported from Germany. In 2017, the church underwent a 3-month historic restoration and improvement project. The project involved preventive measures including fiber-glassing the interior walls, painting and installing updated storm windows to protect the stained glass. In addition, damaged sections of the archway and niches were repaired, and a ceiling was lowered in the vestibule to highlight a stained-glass window.

GPRS’ client needed accurate as-built documentation to complete a $1.2 million restoration and improvement project for a historic church.

Our client provides historic restoration services and is dedicated to providing excellence in conservation and restoration. To complete the restoration of the church, the client required accurate CAD drawings with precise measurements of the structural and architectural elements. With a Leica P40 laser scanner, GPRS quickly captured the structural and architectural details of the church’s interior with92 laser scans. 3D laser scanning captured full spatial and color data with high detail and precision. Laser scanning can capture extreme detail for even the most intricate buildings easily. 3D laser scanning delivered a valuable data set to the client. Intensity map point cloud files provided digital visualization. 2D CAD drawings were created from accurate scan data. From skyscrapers to sewer lines, GPRS Intelligently Visualizes The Built World® to keep your projects on time, on budget, and safe.
