3D Laser Scanning Aids In Hotel Renovation

Capturing basic structural and architectural features will immensely help the architect in planning the hotel renovations.
A hotel developer plans to invest $30 million to renovate a 200-room hotel in downtown Toledo, Ohio. GPRS performed laser scanning services to aid this client in the renovation. GPRS 3D laser scanned the exterior elevation, basement, main lobby level, 2nd floor and elevator shaft – more than 30,000 square feet of space. All structural and architectural features were captured as part of the scan.

A hotel developer plans to invest $30 million to renovate a 200-room hotel in downtown Toledo, Ohio. Case Study: 3D Laser Scanning Aids In Hotel Renovation Location: Toledo, Ohio TASK: A hotel developer plans to invest $30 million to renovate a 200-room hotel in downtown Toledo, Ohio. GPRS performed laser scanning services to aid this client in the renovation. GPRS 3D laser scanned the exterior elevation, basement, main lobby level, 2nd floor and elevator shaft – more than 30,000 square feet of space. All structural and architectural features were captured as part of the scan. PROBLEM: No accurate as-built drawings existed. It would have been difficult, costly and time consuming to manually measure the 19-story building. The developer was not local, making transportation and lodging an added expense. Safety was also a concern, as the building was partially demolished and contained asbestos. SOLUTION: GPRS quickly mobilized to the site and captured the existing conditions of the hotel. Using a P40 survey-grade Leica ScanStation, the local GPRS Project Manager tied the data to survey control, achieved 2-4mm accuracy, and mitigated movement, ensuring level scans. The client received .rcs Intensity Map Point Cloud files, 2D AutoCAD Floor Plans, 2D Point Cloud Sheets, a 3D Revit 2017 LOD 100 Model and TruViews. To save costs and expedite this project, only the unique floors of the hotel were laser scanned. Capturing the basic structural and architectural features will immensely help the architect in planning the hotel renovations. Laser scanning quickly captured precise data while avoiding the risk of the unsafe environment. GPRS collected all building information, eliminating the need to return to the site for additional measurements. For 3D laser scanning of hotels and other resort properties, contact GPRS.

Verifying Accuracy Of Structural Steel With 3D Laser Scanning

3D laser scanning can be used to verify the dimensional accuracy of structural steel components by comparing them to the dimensions specified in the engineering drawings.
Structural steel construction was underway on a $180 million, 127,000 sq. ft. shopping center designed to house 60 retailers. The client requested 3D laser scanning services to capture point cloud data from the structural steel and generate an LOD 200 AutoCAD model to verify the accuracy of existing 2D drawings. GPRS was tasked with 3D laser scanning the site and capturing all structural elements including exposed columns, beams and floor.
TruePoint was tasked with 3D laser scanning the site and capturing all structural elements including the exposed columns, beams and floor.
“We greatly appreciate TruePoint’s willingness to work in tandem with the other trades onsite and schedule their work around construction obstacles." -- R. Serra, Architect Location: Staten Island, NY Task: Structural steel construction was underway on a $180 million, 127,000 sq. ft. shopping center designed to house 60 retailers. The client requested 3D laser scanning services to capture point cloud data from the structural steel and generate an LOD 200 AutoCAD model to verify the accuracy of existing 2D drawings. TruePoint was tasked with 3d laser scanning the site and capturing all structural elements including exposed columns, beams and floor. Challenge: Verifying the accuracy of structural steel at this stage of construction is vital. Shop drawings sometimes do not reflect actual site conditions. With a project of this scope, possession of valid 2D drawings of the existing field conditions is imperative to keep the project on schedule. Solutions: 3D laser scanning measures large and complex steel structures quickly, precisely, and comprehensively. TruePoint 3D laser scanning professionals used survey-grade Leica laser scanners to capture the highest quality 3D data of the site. The TruePoint engineering team then converts the point cloud data into a 3D AutoCAD model and aligns it to the client’s 2D drawings. This allows structural engineers to verify the accuracy of the existing construction documentation. Deliverable: TruePoint’s team of in-house engineers delivered a 3D AutoCAD model of existing structural steel aligned to existing 2D AutoCAD drawings on the nearly 127,000 sq. ft. site. Analysis from 3D scan data is the best way to ensure precise measurements when dimensions are critical. Added Value: TruePoint quickly mobilized several in multiple phases in order to work around obstructions caused by ongoing construction and weather elements. TruePoint is a highly experienced team of 3D laser scanning professionals who deliver exceptional service, accurate data, and custom deliverables to expedite your project. TruePoint can quickly mobilize to your site and provide free quotes. 3D scanning provides a more accurate and complete model for structural engineers.
