Select Scanning Projects
The following projects showcase a cross section of how 3D LiDAR scanning can be applied to complex construction tasks to create useful and practical solutions.
CN Tower Scan
3D laser scans provided a heat map for floor level analysis, with extracted column and window opening profiles as part of a major observation deck renovation.
Google Offices
We scanned multiple floors to identify infrastructure interference for custom millwork in a new Google office building.
Yonge-Dundas Square
The commercial hub of Toronto continues to expand its media towers with additional large digital screens overlooking the square. We scan the supporting framework and supply CAD models and 2D drawings for the fabrication of new structural framework, allowing for installation of the new screens.
Custom Glass Canopies
We regularly scan outriggers for custom glass canopy installation on new build condos, providing layouts for drilling holes and/or confirmation of already drilled holes and fabrication drawings for custom glass installation. Scanning captures an incredible level of detail and can identify issues that might be missed.
Spiral Staircase
Designed and built off-site in dozens of massive steel pieces we scanned the structure and built a digital model to confirm best-fit alignment prior to assembly on site. The scan data was aligned with the CAD model showing deviations and solutions.
Glass Pyramid Window
3D LiDAR scans captured data from this multi-faceted structure to create a custom fabrication drawing package for window replacement.
88 Queen St. East Towers
3D laser scans captured data from this massive new-build development in downtown Toronto. The deliverables allowed confirmation of curbs and steel location before curtain wall installation, top of concrete levels to prepare for window installation and all balcony slab alignments for glass railing installation. Discrepancies were detected prior to glass fabrication, saving time and money.
Bond Place Hotel
As no blueprints existed, we scanned the entire 18 floor hotel and created a BIM model to document as-built conditions for owners, allowing for an accurate value assessment.
Tiffany’s, NYC
Our client needed as-built scan data to fabricate and install architectural detail in the main room of Tiffany’s new flagship store in New York City. Mid-project, steel columns had to move so we returned to re-scan and keep the project on track.
Salvation Army Church
LiDAR scans captured the current condition of the basement floor and south basement wall of this church. Our data analysis will be used for future direct comparison to confirm if the basement floor and/or south basement walls are continuing to move year by year, and if so by how much. Our report showed visually and in graph form the current dimensional variance that exists.
