Laser Scanning For Architectural, Structural and MEP Services

The building industry is constantly witnessing changes that are positive. Past few years has indeed been a time of revolution with many latest and efficient technologies coming into a screen. Today we are discussing one such technology that has eased out building projects to great extent. Laser scanning methods have yielded new opportunities for survey companies by giving them an advantage of combining the surveys of the already constructed building with as-built modelling.

Laser Scanning
Introduction to Laser Scanning

Laser scanning is the process of capturing the "building data" through the means of point clouds. The scanning process is performed using laser scanning machines and acts as an alternative to manual surveying. The laser scanning process is much faster than conducting manual surveys. The dependency on survey technicians also reduces to a great extent with the help of laser scanning techniques. Some benefits that survey companies globally can avail by using laser scanning is as given below:


1) Detailed capturing of building data is possible from multiple angles
2) Manual intervention is reduced resulting in overall productivity of resources
3) Cost-effective approach
4) Quick processing of data
5) Ability to convert scan into reverse construction process such as as-built modelling, construction drawings, 3D rendering etc.


Through laser scanning, any existing building can be scanned and later converted into 3D models or drawings. Point cloud to BIM services is greatly useful for renovation and construction projects. After the formation of the 3D point cloud, these data can be exported to CAD and BIM for creating 2D CAD drawings, plans, BIM models & CAD models etc. Laser scanning method helps field technicians and engineers to scan buildings up to several hundred meters.





Scan to BIM services are used for different building service:


1) Architectural point cloud to BIM modelling :


Building exteriors and interiors can be scanned and this data can be used for creating architectural 3d models. Scan to BIM services is used by agencies who are into the business of renovation and construction of buildings. These agencies can invest in scanners and get the standard process replaced to bid for larger and profitable projects. With the help of laser scanners, vast areas can be scanned and existing design model can be redesigned to understand and execute newly proposed plans. Accurate As-built data can be achieved and changed into existing data models with dimensions.


2) Structural Point cloud to BIM Modelling :


Structure Point cloud BIM Modelling can scan the building deep enough to know about columns, beams, connection and slabs. These building parts are scanned to analysis the present conditions of a building. It becomes easier to fix the new changes based on the existing structural Model. This method saves a lot of time and is cost as the manual survey is no longer needed.


3) MEP point cloud to BIM Modelling :


Scan to BIM services for MEP system helps in understanding the current situation of the MEP. If any changes are needed they are made to the existing designs. In a lot of cases, it has been seen that old buildings have too many issues in the plumbing and drainage areas. These areas get damaged in older buildings and need repair.

Importance of Steel Detailing Services in the Construction Industry

Image
One of the critical processes in structural engineering is structural steel detailing services . It is the service that demands almost 100% accuracy and the smallest mistake will lead to a great negative result and that will be in the form of a waste of time, energy, and money. In all types of engineering and manufacturing industry structural steel detailing is important as well as a mandatory process. Steel detailing services provides assistance in the erection of industrial and commercial buildings, industries, and much more. Steel detailing is considered to be a “communication link” between professionals such as engineers , drafters , contractors , fabricators , architects , etc. They are the ones who are closely associated and are responsible to deliver a tremendous level of precision at each level and stage. Steel detailing is the service that involves the creation of the detailed drawings. Here the purpose of these drawings is for the contractors , fabricators , and the arch

7 World Trade Center, a personification structure is a multistory building positioned Manhattan, New York, construction for the one was commenced in 2002 which was accomplished and inaugurated in 2006. The architectural crowning height for the edifice is 226 meters and so for the roof whilst it upsurges to 207 meters height for the top floor. The structure houses in total 52 floors excluding single lower ground floor and 29 lifts/elevators, inclusive ground area occupied by the one is 156,181 square meters considerably slighter area than the forerunner. The contemporaneous structure was designed to heighten on corroborating safety utilizing reinforced concrete core, broader staircases and denser fireproofing of steel pillars integrating plentiful green construction design measures shaping it to be the foremost commercial structure in the City to be given green certification and to be recognized for the said. Over-the-top clear, low-iron cut-glass was utilized to offer re

Architectural Shop Drawings and Structural Steel Shop Drawings

Image
Shop drawings are not delivered by architects. The building and designing assembling business is a colossal one. They generally produce a considerable measure of details for pre-assembled components such as elevators, structural steel, trusses, precast, cabinets, windows, appliances and so forth. A "shop drawing" by definition is a; three dimensional drawing comprising of; three"detailed" perspectives, plan(s), elevation(s) and section(s), consequently "three dimensional". These are called shop drawing. Architectural drawing is essentially the specialized drawing of a house, a building or any sort of structure. Specialized drawings are realistic representations, for example, lines and images that take after particular traditions of scale and projection. They are utilized as a part of architecture, development, building, or mapping. As such they are a situated of portrayals, charts, and arrangements, used to design, develop, and document building
