Scan to BIM: A Significant tool for Renovating Historical Monuments

Scan to BIM Services  is a highly innovative technology which has kind of reformed the whole construction process. This technology is referred with different names like point cloud modeling or laser scanning technology. Historical monuments of any country are unquestioned symbols of its bravery and pride. So preserving them is not just a challenge but a huge responsibility. Safety and security of these historical monuments completely relies on the shoulders of the respective governments.

Renovation and refurbishment of these structures is one of the most challenging jobs in front of the governments today. Since BIM is innovated to such an extent the renovation of such iconic structures is hardly any problem.

Point cloud modeling is best suited for the renovation of historical structures. With the help of Point cloud modeling or laser scanning technology renovation becomes very easy. In this method laser scanners are used to send the laser beams to the structure. These laser beams then bring back the necessary data from the building which is called ‘point cloud’. In other words an existing structure is first scanned with the laser beams for the purpose of extracting the necessary data in the form of point cloud. These point clouds are then exported to Revit and a 3D Revit model is generated from them.

With the assistance of this 3D model a lot of information regarding the structure can be extracted. A complete set of construction documents can be generated which can be used in in-numerous ways. With the help of these documents it can be easily analyzed how the structure was created or built. Construction documents are referred by the architects while doing the actual renovation of the structure.

Laser scanning technology does not make any damage to the structure. In spite of that it helps in maintaining its historical value which is hardly possible if any other process is applied in the renovation process. This method not only saves the time but a lot of manual labor that goes in while during the actual measurement phase. Cost estimation for renovation can also be done before hand this can ultimately save a lot of money.
