Special Applications in 3D Laser Scanning
Special Applications in 3D Laser Scanning
Some 3D laser scanning projects require special applications due to limitations within the physical setting. Often times this is due to line-of-sight issues, when scanning must be done safely from the ground, or scanning at a precautionary distance. Some examples of these applications would include above-ceiling MEP features in hospitals where it is necessary to maintain negative airflow, interstitial spaces that are highly congested, spiral staircases, equipment in operation or elevator shafts with limited access. GPRS has 3D laser scanned statues and monuments to create 3D mesh models in STL or OBJ format. Since laser scanning is a non-contact measurement tool (we can scan from a safe distance and location) this becomes a powerful tool for solving these complex challenges.
GPRS provides custom analysis and calculations with high precision such as dimensional callouts, tank calibration analysis, prefabrication of panels, accident analysis, floor flatness and levelness analysis, deviation analysis, deformation analysis, new construction verification, volume calculations, wall plumb analysis, staircases, elevator shaft analysis and so much more. The data gathered by laser scanning is a powerful tool for solving complex challenges.
3D Laser Scanning Pricing
The cost of 3D laser scanning can vary widely depending on your project scope. GPRS customizes every quote specific to your project’s needs. GPRS Project Managers use 3D laser scanners to capture every detail of your site, delivering building dimensions, locations, and layout with millimeter accuracy. This can include the aboveground structural, architectural, and MEP features, plus underground utility and concrete markings. Our Mapping & Modeling Team can deliver point clouds, 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, 3D Mesh models, TruViews, and Virtual Tours at any level of detail.
