Office and retail building, Râmnicu Vâlcea — 3D scanning for modernisation
A building in use, with tenants, in the very centre of Râmnicu Vâlcea and with a façade visible from the whole centre. Two days on site with a Trimble TX8, without stopping activity.
In short
- Building: offices and retail, Râmnicu Vâlcea, city centre
- Equipment: Trimble TX8, GNSS
- On site: 2 days, interior and exterior, building in use
- Deliverables: sections, elevations, topographic plan
- Purpose: modernisation and change of use
The situation
Modernisation and change of use needed documentation of the current condition: elevations, sections, the building's relationship with the ground and its neighbours. For a building with property value, every verified square metre counts in design and in letting.
What we did
Two days on site with a Trimble TX8, inside and out, without stopping activity in the building. From the point cloud we extracted the sections, the elevations and the topographic plan of the site.
What it is used for
The architect designs the upgrade on the real façade, with its deviations. The verified areas feed into rent and cost calculations. The owner knows exactly what he has before deciding what to do with it.
What the client received
Documentation of the current condition, extracted from the point cloud, without interrupting the tenants' activity.
Elevations
The real façade, with its deviations, as the base for the modernisation project.
Sections
Sections through the building for change of use and checking areas.
Topographic plan
The site and the building's relationship with the ground and its neighbours.
Frequently asked questions
Can an office building be scanned without stopping activity?
Yes. Scanning took two days, inside and out, without stopping activity in the building.
What deliverables come out of the scan?
Sections, elevations and the topographic plan of the site, extracted from the point cloud.
What equipment was used?
A Trimble TX8 laser scanner, with GNSS to tie in the site.
How does documentation of the current condition help the owner?
The architect designs the upgrade on the real geometry, and the verified areas feed into rent and cost calculations.
