Related Case Studies

101 Federal Street

101 Federal Street, a renowned 31-story high-rise in the financial district of Boston, Massachusetts, designed by Kohn Peterson Fox, features a postmodern design with Indiana Limestone exterior panels. Following the demolition approval of a neighboring parking garage, a national real estate developer planned to construct a new mixed-use tower of similar size located approximately 10 feet from 101 Federal Street. To mitigate the risk of damage, the building owners selected Existing Conditions to conduct a pre-construction 3D laser scan survey, providing crucial situational awareness of their multi-million dollar asset in light of the impending construction project. This allowed our client to understand the building in both a 3D and 4D manner.

Longwood Towers Apartments

Situated in Brookline, Massachusetts, Longwood Towers Apartments is a residential complex 11 stories tall featuring classic Gothic towers. These buildings, constructed around the turn of the last century, were in need of a comprehensive exterior envelope survey. A comprehensive exterior envelope survey, also known as a building envelope condition survey, is a detailed inspection of a building's exterior to assess its condition and identify any issues that may require repair. Recognizing the challenge posed by the building's height, Existing Conditions employed not only terrestrial 3D laser scanning but also utilized aerial drone imagery to capture intricate details, particularly in areas where the building had deteriorated. This reality capture approach provided invaluable situational awareness to the design team to evaluate the building and address any potential issues that might require repair or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning?

3D laser scanning captures millions of 3D data points per second for each scan location, providing incredibly rich data of a building or project site. Sites are captured in high detail the first time, eliminating disruption and the need for return visits. Datasets are dimensionally accurate, measurable and shareable, expediting project planning and execution. Accurate design plans are produced from the start expediting field work and reducing change orders, delays and costs. Communication is improved, teams can discuss plans while each has access to the same information, creating a more dynamic working environment.

‍

How Accurate is the Point Cloud and BIM Model?

‍Point clouds are a digital representation of spatial information, stored as a collection of points with three spatial coordinates. They are millimeter-accurate and are scanned in the level of detail required for your project. BIM model features are created to your project-specific scope, LOD specifications can vary throughout the model. By specifying scope and project details, BIM models can be customized to your project.

‍

How Does Scan to BIM Aid Renovations?

Scan to BIM plays a critical role in renovations by providing accurate as-built data, point clouds, drawings and models that reflect the current state of a building. This ensures that renovation plans are based on precise data, minimizing the risk of costly errors and ensuring seamless integration with existing structures.
