CASE STUDY: 3D Scan Bank Building in Las Vegas, NV.

3D Laser Scanning in Reno, NV: Our client, a leader in Metal Cladding for commercial properties nationally, tasked Arrival 3D with the 3D Data Capture of a new bank building in Las Vegas. In order to achieve the highly toleranced, perfect visual appearance expected, our clients understand it’s first necessary to accurately document “As built” conditions.

The starting point is to document the structure via 3D Laser Scan Data, which is where Arrival 3D bring value.

The resulting Scan Data, a “point cloud” comprising millions of points of data, can be utilized as is for both measurement and spatial planning, or the data can form the basis of an accurate, geometric CAD model. Arrival 3D routinely provide to clients both point cloud, and Revit CAD models.

These tanks were scanned from multiple positions around the perimeter, providing a detailed 360′ point cloud suited to dimensionally accurate spacial planning.

The Arrival 3D data collection process takes only a few hours onsite, the equipment is compact and clean, and we require only easy access to the property. You will see the Leica RTC360 positioned in one of multiple positions in the accompanying image.

Arrival 3D have in the past been called upon to scan architectural projects where the client had attempted, unsuccessfully, to take manual measurements of the area they have intended to change. Later, having spent a great deal of time & money, and having constructed sub-assemblies that won’t fit, Arrival 3D have been called upon to 3D Scan and document the areas in question. Rarely do existing architectural structures have existing, or accurate, blueprints. Furthermore, existing structures can subtly change dimensionally over time from their built condition, for countless reasons.

Arrival 3D are equipped and able to rapidly document existing conditions, provide that data to our clients in a multitude of formats, and ultimately save our clients time, trouble and valuable funding in documenting the reality of projects presented to us. The peace of mind that is inherent with a digital representation of a project is priceless and the ability to share this accurate data with the entire team instantly, and often remotely, is one of the wonderful benefits that these technologies allow us today.
