Topographical, 3D Laser scan, Sub surface utility & roof survey of beverage production facility

Project summary

To provide the Design Team with detailed 3D model, topographical survey of surrounding area and sub surface utility drawing showing all underground services. This geospatial data was needed to start design work on a proposed extension to a highly complex beverage production facility.

People

Murphy Geospatial assembled an experienced team to complete this work. Ground based Topographical survey teams and Sub surface surveying teams worked together externally. The Laser scanning team captured data inside and outside the facility as required. The UAV team flew over the roof of the facility to capture inaccessible/ nonvisible data and this was combined with the other laser scan data to complete the 3d models.

Process

Engage

Early engagement was key to understand exactly what the client required. A detailed discussion and a full review of the specification was critical.

Plan

Careful planning was required to execute the site works. Access was arranged to the site as well as ATC permission for the UAV flight. Processing of data was also planned and broken down into stages in line with the client’s design schedule.

Execute

The works were executed within the allotted time frame with an agreed staged delivery of data.

Deliver

The following was delivered to the client:

3D topo surface model of the site
3D Revit model (LOD300) of the required external and internal areas of the facility
3D Sub surface drawing of all underground utilities located within the area.
Review

Expectations were met and the client could proceed with the design stage of the project.
