The raised floor that was to be installed had limited height between the slab and bottom of the floor tiles. Hundreds of conduits and thousands of network cables were to pass in the void under the raised floor. The conduits did not have enough space to cross and needed to be laid out to accommodate the floor pedestals. Here is where BIM comes to the rescue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536758785204-OM97B5F4C3PQSPA7L9TO/cr4.png Our Work - BIM Model We continued our conduit runs from the electrical room to pass down a wall and under the floor to be distributed to the many work stations in the space. Network cables and conduits were all color coded to allow the electrical contractor to identify them easily on the prints. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536758783245-WZ2EHZTB8LFSWNPQKOPE/cr2.png Our Work - Revit Model Using Autodesk Revit, all of the conduits were modeled and tested for collisions before being sent to the electrical contractor in hard copy form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536758786046-H2BE5OZO87R93K42XMA3/cr3.png Our Work - Physical Design This photo is of the same wall shown in the model. Junction boxes were added in the field as wiring pull points. The general contractor has become a believer in BIM and laser scanning over the course of this project. Countless hours have been saved by avoiding trade collisions in the field. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536759534635-R7COYU60NQ2QCFK9NYYK/r1.png Our Work - Point Cloud It's a great feeling to love your work. Technology has a way of doing that for me. I was recently given the opportunity to use the Faro Focus 70M to check out the floor flatness / floor levelness (FFFL) of a space where a raised floor is to be installed. By linking the acquired point cloud into Revit with PointSense, an extremely accurate report can be generated with detailed graphics to show elevations, alignment, quantities and renders. The GC over the project had concerns over some obvious slab irregularities and whether the pedestals had enough adjustment to compensate for the depressions. Using Recap, a quick color gradient shows the areas of concern in green and red. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536759534686-MVQ1OH5ZIRQPLD6IIO4U/r2.png Our Work - Revit / Point Sense Once the point cloud (PC) is brought into Revit, PointSense has its own set of tools for displaying the FFFL data. The capabilities are expanded beyond just a color gradient map of the slab. By using Revit model lines and PointSense construction points, the project jumps into VDC (virtual design and construction) Nirvana. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536759537142-Z7R1QCDUXO22AGVXWE12/r3.png Our Work - Elevation View of Point Cloud By changing the view range in Revit, a plan view of floor depressions is easily achieved. Here you can see where the slab is below the cut plane of our view range settings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536759537535-RDCHCEGKNWALPK2SJEME/r4.png Our Work - Floor Grid The first step of this workflow is to create a floor under the point cloud. I use an elevation view to align the PC to the newly created floor. The second step is to grid out the floor with Model Lines using a Top View from a 3D View of the model. Be sure to come to an agreement with all involved parties as to where the floor grid lies. Reference points such as drop in anchors can be established before scanning and used for coordinates and field measurement base points. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536759539246-F6JFKHKE1OD5Y4WC14N2/r5.png Our Work - PointSense Construction The third step is adding PointSense Construction Points at the intersections of the Model Line grid. This allows snapping both coordinate and elevation tags in the 3D view. To make the information useful, it must be organized onto sheets. Depending upon how many areas of concern there are in the floor, this can be quick or time consuming. Since the majority of the floor I worked with is within the range of pedestal adjustment, my report is fairly short. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536759539679-LKDWG4LGWO8BZCT35S2Y/r6.png Our Work - Faro Scan Image The Faro scanner has become the first “boots on the ground” for most every project. The data gained from a few hours of scanning saves countless hours of rework due to collisions and interference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536759540447-VP7JMQIZUBCHT6SVKHN0/r7.png Our Work - Conduit under floor We used Revit to model the conduit runs that were to be installed under the raised floor. This allowed us to give the electrical contractor the exact linear footage of each run. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536759540759-VJHBFUQDWV6Q9NSZZRO5/r8.png Our Work - Rendered floor section We use several different software suites to render portions of our models to give the customer visuals of what they can expect to see installed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536760165738-8SKEH7BUYKSZ2TDYDIRQ/t1.png Our Work - High Density Electrical Room Scan We recently helped coordinate a high density electrical room. The room was to house multiple panels, disconnects and transformers and have hundreds of conduits originating from and passing through the space. The one-line schematics provided by the electrical engineers did little to space plan. They gave the electricians a directive as to circuit routes and wire sizes. We scanned the room and developed a model of the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536760165351-A2IN5LIEXKGP0TQBD5YL/t2.png Our Work - 3D Model of Designed Room The room would not have been able to pass an electrical inspection due to clearances need between equipment and the allowed space the room provided. We suggested that a platform be built to accommodate three large transformers. The customer agreed and asked us to design one suitable to support the load. Using the data gathered from the laser scans, we modeled the room, equipment and platform to give the customer a visual of what the room would look like when finished. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536760168406-J8150GBQGL3FM46DN5YM/t3.png Our Work - Fabrication Design/Docs The platform was to be built by another contractor, so we developed fabrication documents with dimensions and bill of material. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536760171366-TM7EQTL95LJX2E8OKM04/t4.png Our Work - Lift System Design Our design allowed for the lifting of the transformers through a steel grate support. There were going to be too many conduits overhead to allow the transformer to be drifted into place. This movable grate allowed the transformer to be lifted and set with ease. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536760171957-9O55UQZC15JD7RL3SVZL/t5.png Our Work - Detailed Assembly Drawing We gave the fabrication contractor a detailed assembly drawing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536760172544-78XC8DLZCKPNHIICS3AO/t6.png Our Work - Stress Analysis Our stress analysis and renders got the approval from the structural engineer, and we were given the green light to proceed with construction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536760172730-CCIM601K2CWDM24IMFJX/t7.png Our Work - 3D Model Rendering This is the 3D rendered model of the platform. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536760173110-X41SBVVONMV00OKQGZO1/t8.png Our Work - Constructed Platform This is the finished fabricated version of our design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1536962241590-A9N8CO8OUW34YWVOKS53/Scan+of+chiller.PNG Our Work - Chiller Scan This machine was scanned as part of a larger mechanical plant.

We then place the model in the scan to produce visuals like this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b855bfff407b487aca71b78/1537038266489-DYFZREO5Z890646PTVLW/Section+View.PNG Our Work - Roof Cores and Cuts We can help you lay out your floor and roof penetrations by scanning.
