3D modeling and Bim through laser scanning

 We’ve got several services related to Bim, and as far as the most common usage of any laser scanning is concerned, then it is for the purpose of as-built documentation of any particular location or a site, and through that, the creation of a 3D model takes place. As far as the models are concerned, they can be either intelligent or agnostic, which means that one will contain actual data about the dimensions and the materials while the other one will be nothing but a simple model.

As far as industry nomenclature is concerned, the intelligent model gets known as BIM, which is nothing but an acronym for building information modeling and this building information modeling is just a digital representation of the functional and physical characteristics of a particular facility. As far as Bim is concerned, it gets deployed internally, which can be taken as a shared knowledge resource about a particular facility which can be served as a foundation upon which all the processes are dependant during the lifetime of the assets.

RVTCAD has surely helped various clients worldwide make cost-effective and informed decisions about construction shutdowns, other scenarios, along with retrofits with the help of scanning by providing them with building information modeling.

 

Let’s understand the processes

There is going to be an aerial imagery which will provide the estimate, or it can be a site visit as well. We will then provide you with KMZ/GIS file which can be viewed on the workstation for scan locations. As far as the scans are concerned, we are able to provide a fixed number of scans, and that happens only at a fixed amount of time, and through that, the estimation of the cost takes place in a great and accurate manner.

The scanning comes after the visit of the site gets over, and once the field portion gets completed, the process for the registration begins, which is where the data gets assembled or the data is stitched together for further analysis. The registered point cloud, which comes out from the result of scanning, goes into the model program, which can be according to the choice of the clients either through AutoCAD or Revit or NavisWorks and then the modeling process gets started.

P&IDS, which is provided by the clients, are taken as a reference in a periodic manner throughout the process of the modeling, and then the information which is present gets plugged into the model so that the Bim can become a true model. As far as the end result is concerned, there's going to be a true to life Bim of a particular facility which can be used to make the decisions which will be reliable and most practical.

 

 

Let’s understand some of the uses for building information modeling through laser scanning

·         There is going to be an as-built documentation.

·         There is also going to be P&ID verification

·         Planning of repairing and construction is going to be made.

·         There will be decision-making across the business units.

·         There will also be requirements related to jurisdiction.

·         There will be planning related to the remote job.

·         There will also be a planning related to remote safety.

·         And there is always going to be a great collaboration of the contractors.

It’s going to be great that RVTCAD has really made a great contribution in the industry of building information modeling or laser scanning, and we have got a great diverse and inclusive geographical footprint, and through that, we provide our clients with great services and that too at a very low cost without any compromise on the quality of the services.
