Renovating an old industrial complex to turn it into a modern manufacturing facility

Location: USA 

Operator: Confidential 

Duration: 2024 (2 weeks) 

Scope: Kent Laser Scanning 

A client who specialises in the revitalisation and redevelopment of brownfield sites for industrial purposes was working on renovating an old industrial complex to turn it into a modern manufacturing facility. Given the complexity of the site and the need for precise measurements, the client sought out Kent for innovative solutions to streamline the construction process.

**Some of the challenges the client was looking to tackle were:**

- Incomplete As-Built Documentation: The existing site lacked comprehensive documentation, making it difficult to assess the condition of structures and utilities accurately.
- Limited Access: Confined spaces and obstructed areas posed challenges for traditional surveying methods.
- Tight Project Schedule: To minimise construction delays and maximise profitability.

**Our Scope**

- Comprehensive Site Scanning: Highly trained technicians conducted laser scanning of the entire brownfield site, capturing millions of data points with precision.
- Detailed 3D Model Generation: Advanced software was utilised to process the raw scan data and generate highly detailed 3D models of the existing structures, utilities, and terrain.
- Virtual Site Assessment: Engineers leveraged the 3D models to conduct virtual site assessments, identifying potential clashes, interferences, and structural anomalies.
- Streamlined Design Integration: The 3D models were seamlessly integrated into the design process, allowing for accurate alignment of new construction elements with existing infrastructure.
