This project involved the 3D documentation of a concrete thickener located at a remote mining site, accessible only by air travel and lengthy 4x4 drives on rough terrain.
The main challenge was that the mechanical engineering team responsible for modifications was based in Australia. Traveling to the site would have been extremely costly and time-consuming. Therefore, LiDAR technology was chosen as the most effective solution to capture the existing conditions.
A terrestrial color laser scanner was deployed, supported by a georeferenced coordinate system to ensure high accuracy and provide a reliable baseline for future work. The client assisted in removing sediments from the thickener, allowing us to capture critical floor measurements. Both the exterior and interior of the structure were scanned, with access through a service tunnel. Fieldwork was completed in two days, followed by five days of data processing, all without interruptions from weather.
By delivering a detailed point cloud and a 360° virtual tour, Dynamic enabled the engineers in Australia to explore the thickener remotely, as if they were physically on-site. This provided them with accurate measurements, a reliable visual reference, and the capability to make informed design decisions without the need for costly international travel.
This project began with a facility that had no existing drawings or 3D models.
The goal was to create a complete Revit model encompassing all disciplines: architectural, structural, piping, equipment, and conduits.
A complete 3D model was constructed from the captured point cloud. From this model, the client can generate floor plans and sections directly, measure distances and areas, and design potential modifications to the facility. The model also allows for the simulation of new equipment placements, ensuring that piping routes account for existing obstructions. Additionally, the point cloud provides a complete spatial context, while the 360° virtual tour enables remote site exploration.
By delivering an accurate, multi-disciplinary model, Dynamic provided the client with a reliable tool to make faster, smarter decisions, optimize their engineering design, and reduce the risk of cost overruns or unexpected changes.
An architecture firm was unable to propose renovation alternatives for a recently purchased residence due to the absence of updated drawings or documentation.
The main challenge was that the new owners lived in another city, which was 1.5 hours away by plane or 9 hours by car, and they needed the house fully remodeled within six months. The solution needed to provide precise and reliable information without requiring constant travel.
A mobile laser scan was conducted using the Leica BLK2GO, supported by a georeferenced control system featuring total stations and GNSS targets. Multiple deliverables were generated, including a point cloud, a 360° virtual tour, 3D models, floor plans, and videos, providing both the client and contractors with complete visibility of the existing conditions.
The final renovation proposal was approved in less than 45 days, thanks to the clarity of the visual documentation. The owners never had to travel to Houston; all reviews and presentations were handled remotely. Contractors received the authorized proposals in 3D along with the point cloud, ensuring a greater understanding during demolition and execution phases.
By digitizing the residence, Dynamic delivered reliable technical and visual information that accelerated decision-making, reduced costs, and eliminated the need for unnecessary travel.
