3D laser scanning of a building in old Nicosia
An old apartment-building in Old Nicosia city centre has been used as residential apartments and offices for many decades, but since then, this building has never been repaired or renovated. As a consequence, now this building is considered inhabitable and is in need of urgent restoration and maintenance.
In order to restore the existing building and transform the old spaces into new and modern apartments, refurbishment and repair operations had to be provided.
In the starting point of this kind of restoration projects, it is critical to have a detailed measured building survey carried out in order to accurate document the existing condition of the building. This as-built information is then given to architects and interior designers in order to redesign and plan their renovation ideas.
This information could not be acquired through the use of conventional surveying, because this way would be incredibly time-consuming bearing the risk of high inaccuracies. On the contrast, 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanning Technology has made it easier and more precise, time and work saving, but also the intricacies and details of older structures can be captured. The result and benefit of implementing 3D laser scanning technology for building renovation projects is in producing a better survey on time with overall lower cost.
Thus, Geoimaging team was asked to provide their professional services by conducting a 3D documentation survey based on 3D laser scanning technology in order to draft accurate and detailed as-built floor plans, elevations, and sections.
The on-site laser measurements that carried out by our experienced personnel were significant in order to draft accurate and detailed as-built floor plans, elevations, cross sections and 360° virtual tours, material that was essential for the renovation engineers to plan, redesign and approve with actual measurements.
