INTEGRATING 3D LASER SCANNING WITH BIM SOLUTIONS3D laser scanning is a method of acquiring accurate, physical measurements of an object or area into a digital file for design purposes. Our scanning systems more effectively capture existing conditions at a magnitude of detail much greater than conventional methods. WSP works closely with each client to find the proper solution to collect accurate spatial data.

WSP’s accurate 3D laser scanning data can be integrated into Building Information Modelling (BIM) programs, adding value throughout the entire projects life cycle – from planning to design to construction to asset management.


INTEGRATING AND ADDING VALUE WITH BIMDESIGN STAGE

Enables collaboration between design disciplines Ability to explore alternative options in real time Generates accurate 2D and 3D drawings

CONSTRUCTION STAGE

Improves response time to design changes Virtually eliminates RFIs Reduces error and waste through clash detection

ASSET MANAGEMENT STAGE

Facility data is generated and managed through life cycle Maintains as-built model Delivers improved facility/asset management capability to oversee, retrofit and expand

LASER SCANNING BENEFITS Provides a snapshot in time Virtually eliminates the need for repeat field visits Increased safety measures A true, geo-referenced 3D perspective of the project site Site verification and validation Accelerate renovation and rehabilitation projects On-site interaction from your desktop through digital images Improved team coordination, budgeting and cost control using current, accurate data Compatible with numerous software programs, including AutoCAD, MicroStation, Navisworks, Revit, etc. Enhanced BIM and VDC applications Highly effective monitoring and site inspection Solution to complex project issues that require detailed analysis Historic preservation Start creating digital archives of your construction project today

Laser scanning provides the benefits of safe, cost-effective means of obtaining accurate geospatial data for design purposes of highways, bridges, tunnels and facilities (subway, airport, etc.).

This technology can make data collection in hard to reach, or heavily traveled places, more easily obtainable, without comprimising accuracy.

3D laser scanning provides a cost-effective method of surveying inside/outside of existing buildings under renovation and new buildings under construction to document the existing conditions.

Laser scanning clarifies outdated and/or poorly documented building plans by capturing the visible architectural, MEP, and structural components to millimeter accuracy. That data is provided in a usable format for design.

Accurate data can be integrated with Building Information Modelling (BIM) software for Virtual Design Construction (VDC) applications.

HISTORICAL

Landmark Theater, Richmond, VA

Longfellow Bridge, Boston, MA

Landmark Government Building, New York, NY

Landmark Theater, Richmond, VA

Fogg Museum, Boston, MA

Whether landmark buildings, monuments or infrastructure, laser scanning is the correct tool to properly document the existing components prior to any restoration being started, or to monitor the structure to make sure no damage has been incurred during any remodelling activities.

The immense point cloud data captured during the field survey will capture features that will aid in historic preservation.

Laser scanning for existing conditions, and as-built surveys within facilities takes complex areas and simplifies them for higher level of understanding and design. Laser scanning provides a snapshot in time, therefore documenting site conditions, with highly accurate point cloud data.

This data is used for design or comparison with regards to upgrades, build-outs, renovations and restoration, while hopefully eliminating the need for change orders.

Utilizing our laser scanning technology, we can integrate these deliverables right into information modelling. This greatly improves construction efficiency, as well as post-occupancy operations, right through the end of a project’s life cycle.

The model encompasses geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information intelligence, quantities and properties of all building components.

Real value is achieved through the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle.

The utility sector is very cognizant that safety is the top priority, and laser scanning allows geospatial data to be captured from a safe distance without the need to enter electrified areas, right of ways or climbing structures.

This cost-effective solution eliminates the need of flagmen, railroad training, power shut downs and having personnel in hazardous areas.

The data captured virtually eliminates the need for additional field visits and is visual and portable for enhanced use by design and construction firms.
