SightLine applies the use of 3-dimensional laser scanning technology for a variety of documentation purposes. We provide clear and accurate records of conditions for both new and pre-existing structures.

In working with a recent client, SightLine scanned this office space that was undergoing renovation. The client was provided with a 3-D CAD model that documented the locations of the various elements to assist them with their redesign.

SightLine scanned the building in one day and created the 3-D model in one week. The 3-D model shows the walls, supporting columns, beams, purlins, roof drains, steam lines, electrical conduits and remaining HVAC equipment. From this base model the client was able to begin their redesigning process.

Typically a firm would have a team of people go to the structure and document it taking hand measurements and field notes. Often there are unintentional omissions in the data collected only to be discovered when the final documents are being created. Omissions can only be rectified by revisiting the site. In turn, this incurs additional costs and is time lost to everyone. Implementing laser-scanning technology can eliminate this scenario. High Definition Laser Scanning captures all visible data and acquiring missing information is as simple as opening the scan and retrieving it.

Some of our latest project include a Medical Complex Renovation and a Documentation Historic Covered Bridge.

Using scanning technology in the architectural industry is proving to be an effective and efficient means for the collection of data as well as documentation of structures.

However, laser scanning can also prove economical and effective in the following other industries as well.

Architecture Preservation Conservation Forensics Emergency Management Rapid Prototyping

Personal Property Assessment Department of Transportation Government New Construction Arson Investigation Pre-Demolition

Engineering Restoration Project Assessment Estimating Reverse Engineering Building Movement & Crack Assessment

BIM Archiving Documentation Progressive Construction Docs Accident Investigation
