Point Cloud conversion for underground railway tunnel, UK
Client Profile
The client is one of the leading surveying companies in UK.
Objective.
To convert point cloud scans with higher level of detailed 3D modeling for geometrically complex underground railway tunnel with multiple levels and nodes in all directions, after a damage analysis of tunnel linings.
Providing detailed as-built BIM information for the renovation, maintenance, and facility management of the railway tunnel.
Technology Used:.
Autodesk Revit
Business Needs.
As-built BIM information for renovation, maintenance, and facility management.
Bring the existing underground tunnel structure into the 3D BIM process.
Detailed damage analysis of the tunnel linings.
Challenges.
Geometrically complex tunnel with several levels and nodes in all directions.
Renovating while retaining the existing features of the tunnel.
Delivered detailed as-built model with 10 mm accuracy within a very short time frame.
Hitech’s Solution.
Delivered 3D Point cloud to BIM models for underground railway tunnel, and conventional outputs of elevators and other access points. Created specific families for Structure elements, architecture elements and MEP systems as required.
Approach.
The team at Hitech used the scans provided as inputs to create 3D Revit BIM models for architectural, structural and MEP systems of the underground tunnel, duly populated with associated equipment and services.
The team also prepared and delivered conventional outputs of elevators and several other access points of the tunnel.
As per client requirements, specific Revit families for structural and architectural elements along with MEP part models classified category wise as per BIM modeling standards were created for future use.
Benefits.
The interdisciplinary clash-free point cloud to BIM Revit model streamlined the renovation process
The coordinated 3D Revit model ensured proper co-ordination of existing and new MEP services
The existing 3D Revit model was further used for renovation and design additions
Result.
The point cloud to BIM model enabled smart monitoring of underground railway tunnel to determine tunnel damage analysis.
It also lead to safe
Client Speaks.
The underground railway tunnel project was a stepping stone for us to achieve the next level of BIM and Hitech assisted us in accomplishing it. The visualization and precise 3D point cloud modeling helped us complete our prestigious infrastructure project within the proposed timelines and will help us monitor the underground railway tunnel better.– Project Manager, Surveying Company, UK
