Streamlining Plant Room As-Built Records and Digital Twins with Laser Scanning Services

Plantrooms are an essential part of many buildings, providing critical services such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. As-built records of plant rooms are crucial for ensuring that the systems are operating effectively and efficiently and for making informed decisions about maintenance and upgrades. However, creating accurate as-built records of plant rooms can be challenging, particularly in older buildings where original plans may be incomplete or outdated. This is where laser scanning comes in.

Laser scanning is a process that uses a laser scanner to capture millions of data points in a space, which are then used to create a 3D point cloud. This point cloud can be used to create accurate and detailed models of existing structures and services, including plant rooms. Laser scanning can be particularly useful for plant rooms, as it allows for precise measurements and data collection, which can be used for as-built records.

At Digital Engineering Works (DEW), we specialise in laser scanning plant rooms for as-built records, as well as updating digital twins and building information models (BIM) with the data collected. Our team of experienced technicians and engineers use high-quality laser scanners to capture accurate and detailed data, which is then processed into a 3D model.

Using laser scanning for as-built records of plant rooms has several benefits, including:

1.      Accurate measurements: Laser scanning provides precise measurements of plant room components and systems, which can be used to create accurate as-built records.

2.      Time-saving: Laser scanning can significantly reduce the time required for creating as-built records, as it eliminates the need for manual measurements and documentation.

3.      Comprehensive data collection: Laser scanning captures a vast amount of data in a short amount of time, providing comprehensive data collection for future use.

4.      Easy updating: The 3D model created from laser scanning can be easily updated as changes are made to the plant room, providing an up-to-date record of the system.

5.      Better decision making: Accurate and detailed as-built records of plant rooms can be used for informed decision making regarding maintenance, upgrades, and system optimization.

Using laser scanning for as-built records of plant rooms is an efficient and cost-effective way to ensure accurate and comprehensive documentation of critical building systems. Additionally, the data collected from laser scanning can be used to update digital twins and building information models, which can assist in making informed decisions about building performance and system optimisation.
