The assignment given to ARRIVAL 3D required documentation of the current state of 130 Boston school buildings that extended across 11 million square feet. We delivered detailed architectural floor plans and elevations at high precision for building renovation and remodeling requirements.
The project entailed delivering LOD 200 architectural floor plans alongside elevations for every building.
It also required the delivery of complete AutoCAD DWG files along with PDF documents that display architectural features clearly.
The scanning process included both inside and outdoor spaces but must exclude roof areas.
The technological system generated strong interactive 3D virtual panorama images to support virtual navigation through vivid colors.
The ultimate objective was to provide an efficient data processing, starting with site scanning operations and extending to the final CAD deliverables.
ARRIVAL 3D utilized Leica RTC360 and NavVis VLX for executing color 3D laser scanning operations across all buildings. The scans managed to detect different architectural and structural features, including –
Building scanning with medium detail settings displayed critical architectural features, and additional panoramic pictures allowed remote space reference.
Active educational facilities needed thorough preparation with built-in flexibility when performing scans. We achieved full coverage of perceptible areas even though inaccessible structural elements above ceiling tiles could not be accessed.
The Value of Precision
The project enabled ARRIVAL 3D to deliver precise visualization and technical essentials for future school renovation plans to both Bureau Veritas and the educational facility management. The implementation creates an effective combination of documentation scalability and clarity that enables stakeholders to make choices even when they stay off-site.
