With 3-D laser scanning, one surveyor can collect comprehensive data quickly and accurately. This method is roughly half the cost of field measurement and provides (+/) 1/8-inch accuracy.

WHAT'S INSIDE Using 3-D Laser Scanning Technology in University Project Florida's First RFB Project Brings Reliable, Sustainable Drinking Water   Wastewater Plant Named Best Utility Project by CAGC

Using 3-D Laser Scanning Technology in University Project

The engineers of Sebesta Blomberg & Associates (Roseville, Minn.) faced a daunting task in documenting existing conditions within the two central boiler plants at North Carolina State University (Raleigh, N.C.). Field measurement would require a team of four engineers, one architect and two CAD technicians to work on-site for five days, measuring by hand with electronic and standard tape measures. Another option, developed in concert with McKim & Creed, would be to scan the spaces using 3-D laser scanning technology. Accuracy would be (+/-) 1/8 inch, and the cost would be approximately half of the field-measurement approach.
