A publicly listed conglomerate specializing in purchasing single-tenant, operational buildings in North America and Europe needed 3D data for asset management and restoration planning. The project’s site was located in Eagan, Minnesota, and it required scanning a 30,000 square foot facility in just 3 days. The main challenge of the project was to capture the facility with the least amount of disturbance to occupants.
Being a property and asset management conglomerate, the customer required an extremely precise as-built record of their facilities. It was strictly told by them to preserve operating effectiveness and avoid expensive adjustments by obtaining a millimeter-level precision.
Leica’s RTC360 laser scanner was utilized for the scanning work.
Cyclone REGISTER 360 was used to analyze the gathered point cloud data for setting up the base for a detailed 3D model.
To offer a trustworthy reference for design changes and future facility management, the as-built data was transformed into a BIM model.
The path to execution of the facility from designs brings lots of changes, and those might not be visible easily to naked human eyes. Same was the core challenge of this asset management project. The usage of the scan-to-BIM approach made the client realize the unforeseen changes in the facility and subsequently document them.
