Project Name: Red Cedar Steel
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
Client Type: Owner
Services Provided: Scan to BIM/Dimensional Analysis
HCG was tasked with validating the dimensional accuracy of crane rail installations against the original design specifications. This critical verification process required advanced scanning, modeling, and analysis techniques to identify any discrepancies and ensure alignment with design intent.
Scope of Work:
- 3D Scanning of Crane Rails: Acquiring high-resolution 3D scans of the crane railings across various key locations.
- 3D Modeling: Developing a precise Revit model of the railings based on the scans, accurately reflecting existing conditions.
- Dimensional Analysis: Measuring dimensions between railings using the BIM model and scans to identify deviations introduced during construction.
- Reporting and Validation: Presenting the findings with clear dimensions and a validated methodology to stakeholders.
Key Challenges and Solutions:
- Sparse Scanning Locations: Overcoming gaps between scan points by employing advanced interpolation techniques to ensure model accuracy and completeness.
- Edge Detection Difficulties: Accurately identifying the true edges of steel railings for precise width and placement within Revit, leveraging enhanced modeling workflows and software tools.
- Rapid Turnaround: Meeting tight deadlines by streamlining the scanning, modeling, and reporting processes without compromising quality.
Through this project, HCG demonstrated its capability to deliver high-precision verification under challenging conditions and tight schedules. By combining cutting-edge technology and meticulous attention to detail, we provided actionable insights that supported construction quality assurance and alignment with design objectives.
