3D Laser Scanning Services in Wyoming

This client requested as-built data, 2D CAD drawings, and a 3D BIM model of their 150,000 square feet facility in 12 business days. The 3D model will allow this manufacturer to discover any discrepancies between the design model and existing conditions so they can make necessary adjustments before the facility upgrade begins.

The demand for wood molded brick continues to grow as architects and designers utilize more brick in building designs. To keep up with this demand, our client, the largest molded brick manufacturer in the United States, is planning upgrades to its Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania facility. These upgrades include adding a second kiln to increase capacity and modernizing equipment to improve product quality. The client requested point cloud data, 2D CAD drawings, and a 3D Revit model to understand the existing conditions of the facility.

Brick Manufacturer Uses 3D Laser Scanning For Facility Upgrades Location: Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania Task: The demand for wood molded brick continues to grow as architects and designers utilize more brick in building designs. To keep up with this demand, our client, the largest molded brick manufacturer in the United States, is planning upgrades to its Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania facility. These upgrades include adding a second kiln to increase capacity and modernizing equipment to improve product quality. The client requested point cloud data, 2D CAD drawings, and a 3D Revit model to understand the existing conditions of the facility. Challenge: Our client was on a tight timeline. They requested as-built data, 2D drawings and a 3D BIM model of their 150,000 square feet facility in 12 business days. To complete the facility upgrades, they needed line, equipment, and tie-in points. Solution: 150,000 sq. ft. of space was 3D laser scanned in two days on-site with the Leica P50 ScanStation and the RTC360 laser scanner. 279 laser scans were taken to capture complete as-built data of the site’s structure, equipment, and MEP. Deliverable: GPRS delivered an LOD 200 design-intent architectural, structural, and MEP Revit Model, 2D AutoCAD floor plans and interior elevations, and an RCS point cloud file. MEP piping and conduit 2 inch and larger, HVAC ductwork, pumps, motors and equipment were 3D modeled to within ¼ inch accuracy. The 3D model will allow our client to discover any discrepancies between the design and existing conditions so they can make necessary adjustments before the facility upgrade begins. Added Value: Coordinating the work of designers with structural, MEP, and other construction teams is often difficult. Laser scanning provides a fast and accurate way to collect large amounts of site measurement data which can be used to expedite the retrofit design process. 3D scanning will help this client design to the actual as-built conditions, reducing clashes and change orders. Inaccurate data would slow teams down, increase the risk of miscommunication, and create prefabrication and installation problems that could lead to rework.

In three days onsite, GPRS was able to capture the facility’s complex piping and equipment with very minimal shadowing, giving our modeling team the information they required to create a highly-detailed 3D as-built model.

GPRS performed 3D laser scanning services for a water treatment plant pump station to capture existing structural and MEP features. Our in-house Mapping & Modeling Team generated an Autodesk Revit LOD 300 Building Information Model (BIM) of the project site.

Highlights THE BOTTOM LINE In three days onsite, GPRS was able to capture the facility’s complex piping and equipment with very minimal shadowing, giving our modeling team the information they required to create a highly-detailed 3D as-built model. INDUSTRY Water Treatment Plant SERVICE 3D Laser Scanning, Mapping & Modeling LOCATION Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Deliverables GPRS delivered registered point cloud data in real-world coordinates in RCS, RCP and E57 format, black and white TruViews (high-resolution panoramic images) at each of the scanner setup locations and an Autodesk Revit LOD 300 model of the site. PROJECT APPLICATION GPRS 3D laser scanning services document the exact architectural, structural, and MEP system layout and dimensions of existing buildings, facilities, and sites. Task GPRS performed 3D laser scanning services for a water treatment plant pump station to capture existing structural and MEP features. Our in-house Mapping & Modeling Team generated an Autodesk Revit LOD 300 Building Information Model (BIM) of the project site. PROBLEM Our client was planning for a complete mechanical rehabilitation of the facility and requested 3D laser scanning services and Building Information Modeling (BIM) from GPRS to expedite the design and execution of this project. Solution We have captured as built site conditions for water treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants from 40 MGD to 1 BGD, documenting the interior and exterior of buildings; foundations; structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing features; equipment, motors, conduit and piping down to ½ inch diameter. GPRS' experienced laser scan team 3D captured all exposed columns, floors, walls, ceilings, stairways, platforms, and MEP equipment and piping ½" in diameter and above, including pumps and valves. GPRS provided a tie-in to topographic survey and processed the data on survey control established for this project. The Mapping & Modeling team broke the model into individual discipline models containing existing MEP features with material type assignments. ‍ Benefits Custom-built advanced 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.

The 17,000 s.f. golf club, including pro shop, locker rooms, and restaurant areas were all 3D scanned in a single day with minimal operational interruption to provide 1/4" accurate structural & architectural models

GPRS 3D Laser Scanning provides existing conditions documentation to Vanderbilt University's Legends Golf Club

Vanderbilt Legends Golf Club renovations aimed for "elite facility" status, aided by GPRS 3D Laser Scanning and Mapping & Modeling Services

Vanderbilt University planned an expansion and renovations of its Legends Golf Club to propel it to "elite facility" statusThe architect on the project needed accurate existing conditions documentation to develop a design plan and solicit bids from construction companiesThe club management required that any work be completed with minimal operational interference GPRS 3D laser scanned the two-story, 17,000 s.f. clubhouse in one day with the Leica RTC360An intensity map point cloud file, 2D CAD drawings, and a Revit 3D model were all delivered to the architect via GPRS Mapping & Modeling TeamDocumenting architectural elements, such as the building envelope, walls, windows, doors, ceilings, exposed columns, beams, and posts with 2-4mm accuracy was critical to the renovation effort Capturing real-time existing conditions prior to designing the expansion & renovation reduced reworks, waste, and mistakesThe 1/4" accuracy provided by the architectural and structural model allowed for extremely detailed plans to be delivered to the contractorThe building renovations created a state-of-the-art facility for the team, the membership, and to aid in recruitment efforts
