3D laser scanning is your most cost-effective and efficient solution to streamline the collection of accurate measurement data on complicated construction projects. But here are some myths debunked. When you’re working with complex work zones, precise operations, and painstaking procedures, 3D laser scanning is your most cost-effective and efficient solution to streamline the collection of …
Van Bower Cuts Scanning Time by One-Third Using the Trimble X7 from BuildingPoint When an architectural firm engaged Van Bower Construction Services Ltd to update the as-built drawings of the 170,000-square-foot Richmond Ice Centre using laser scanning, they knew it would be a challenging project. The recreational facility in Richmond, B.C., includes six NHL-size hockey …
By Cassidy Gaertner There has long been a communication gap in construction between the office and the field. When teams are working in isolation and project information only exists in silos, productivity and efficiency suffer. Connected construction addresses this problem by centralizing project models and data, and making this information accessible and shareable for all project …
