As laser scanning and 3D modeling technologies have advanced in accuracy and speed, their implementation has become increasingly common in construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance projects for industrial plants, civil structures, large infrastructures, and historical buildings. The return on investment has grown significantly, driving their adoption from the early stages of projects.
Leica BLK360 Imaging Laser Scanner: Efficiency and Accuracy in Virtual Representation
ULMA Construction highlights how integrating the BLK360 laser scanner into their operations optimizes scaffolding planning by creating accurate and precise digital twins of real-world environments.
The exact digital replica of a building or structure, generated using Leica Geosystems' solution composed of the BLK360 laser scanner and Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS software, enables a 3D design where scaffolding can be applied with great precision and reliability. This facilitates the measurement of spaces, positioning, arrangement, and the exact calculation of the material and number of scaffolds needed, providing a virtual visualization before installation. This allows potential problems to be anticipated and resolved before actual execution, resulting in significant time and cost savings, as well as improved efficiency and safety on the job site.
Key Advantages: Safety, Accuracy, and Collaboration
Among the most notable advantages are safety and accuracy, as working with real-world data minimizes the risks associated with inaccuracies, facilitating sound decision-making and improving productivity and efficiency during each project's development. The BLK360 optimizes the time spent on measurements and data capture, ensuring consistent and efficient work while providing a distinct advantage over projects that have yet to integrate this technology.
The accuracy in estimating the material needed for scaffolding in each project allows for a significant reduction in assembly times and eliminates additional transportation costs. This detailed and shared information provides a comprehensive view that anticipates problems and defines appropriate planning to ensure project success.
Commitment to BIM
In line with BIM (Building Information Management), smooth and coordinated collaboration is fostered by providing a shared platform accessible to all parties involved in the project.
As users of the BLK360 laser scanner, ULMA understands that the accuracy of scanning, 3D modeling, and project visualization depends on certain complementary basic requirements, such as using a well-defined coordinate system, aligning the point cloud to improve consistency, and correctly selecting and cleaning the data before integrating it into the 3D modeling software. Comparing the scanned data with images, photographs, and actual plans ensures a more reliable and complete result.
This video showcases the process of laser scanning, digital modeling, and scaffolding application in diverse projects, such as the maintenance and rehabilitation of foundry plants, the structure of a maritime dock, or the façade of a historic building.
Digital Innovation at ULMA Construction
At ULMA, advanced digital solutions for scaffolding planning in construction projects are a priority. Digitalization enhances precision, safety, and productivity, and at ULMA, using the latest technology to optimize internal processes and provide exceptional service to our clients is paramount. Our knowledge and use of digital technical tools are available for collaboration on various projects.
Laser scanning with the BLK360, combined with Leica Cyclone Register 360 PLUS processing software, is an effective solution that, together with BRIO and DORPA scaffolding libraries for working in REVIT and the Scaffmax® Scaffolding Configurator from Softtech, facilitates the study and implementation of scaffolding projects with unprecedented precision.
