3D Scanners

 

3D Laser Scanning is the technology used to capture a physical object’s exact size and shape using a laser beam to create a digital 3-dimensional representation of the same. 3D laser scanners produce “Point Clouds” of data from the surface of an object.

Capturing existing conditions for renovations which is commonly called As-Built documentation is one of the primary purposes of 3D Laser Scanning. Siteline360’s Architectural and Engineer partners and General Contractors all need As-Built Documentation for successful project management. 3D Laser Scanning captures accurate measurements of existing buildings and structures, allowing architects and engineers to create as-built documentation that accurately reflects the current state of the structure.

 

Documenting historical buildings for preservation. Architects that focus on preservation and restoration projects use Siteline360’s 3D Laser Scanning services to document and preserve historic buildings and structures. They also guide restoration efforts to ensure that the original design and features are accurately preserved.

 

Quality assurance checks for change/clash detection for Building Information Modeling (BIM) General Contractors use Siteline360’s 3D Laser Scanning services for Clash Detection. By comparing the 3D model of the scanned structure with the proposed design model, General Contractors and Architects and Engineers identify any areas where the design clashes with existing features of the building.

 

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Process. Architectural clients of siteline360 use 3d Laser Scanning as part of their Building Information Modeling (BIM) Process. 3D Laser Scanning can be used to create detailed BIM models of existing buildings which can be used to plan renovations, remodels, and additions.

 

Capturing progress milestones in construction projects for quality control. General Contractors use Siteline360 3D Laser Scanning services for quality control. The 3D Laser Scan is used to check the accuracy and quality of the construction work at various stages of the project.

 

Structural Analysis for use by engineering firms that use Siteline360’s 3D Laser Scanning Services for structural analysis. 3D Laser Scanning captures accurate measurements of building structures, which can be used to perform structural analysis and assess the condition of the building.

 

 

Laser scanning is the most accurate form of measurement available, delivering accuracy of a few millimeters or less and therefore eliminates human errors. Scanning a project answers unanticipated questions and captures extra data eliminating the need to return to the project to capture more information later. 3D Laser Scanning drastically reduces change orders and waste. The cost of scanning is significantly less than the cost of change orders and construction delays. Incorporating a laser scan into the design of projects assures and increases accurate and complete information. It also avoids costly headaches, unwanted clashes, and wasted material during the construction phase. Lastly, laser scanning minimizes operational shutdowns and client inconvenience.

 

 

Projects can take anywhere from a few hours to multiple weeks depending on the total scope of a project and the required deliverables. Our team’s vast expertise and fleet of Laser Scanners insures you get the right level of detail for each specific project.

 

 

Laser scanning in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industries is used to capture as-built documentation for existing buildings or sites. This data is then used to develop 2D drawings and 3D models which expedite the design, planning and development of projects. The ability to visualize and analyze this data is invaluable for critical decision making at multiple levels of project management.
