Convert 3D scanned images of college backyard mechanical house into intelligent BIM with LOD 300 with Architecture & Structure & Equipment spacing.
Challenges
Scanned data was inconsistent, lot of inputs were missing and some parts had to be recreated solely based on engineering assumptions
Management of massive volumes of scanned data
360 degree image for an over building view was missing in the input files
The process was time consuming and work had to be completed in pressing deadlines – within 14 days
Solution
All the scanned point clouds and images in .rcs format were imported to Revit, and converted into a BIM with LOD 300 with all the Architecture & Structure & Equipment spacing details.
Benefits
Ever changing spatial requirements in the mechanical house, were addressed efficiently each time due to the availability of an information rich BIM
Information rich intelligent BIM, provided a thorough documentation of the as built structure
As a result new equipment set up became easy and clash free
The management managed to save a lot of cost and time in the process of catering to the changing spatial requirements
Engineering Solution:
The work started by dividing teams to work in shifts so that the project gets processed 24×7
All the files in.rcs format were imported into Revit and divided into sections
A model file was set up and modeling was done with 10mm accuracy, and LOD 300 as requested by the client
Detailed architectural, structural and equipment spacing information was included
The missing sections were recreated based on engineering assumptions
At this stage, communication was set and approvals were taken from the client for the restructured parts for which input data was not available.
With efficient project management, point cloud data was converted to BIM and delivered in a record time frame of 13 days.
