3D Model Conversion & Visualisation - Cable Enterprise Ship

Cable Enterprise Ship 3D CAD Model Textured in 3DS Max
Severn have again been working with Global Marine Systems on 3D modelling one of their cable laying ships for their on board 3D navigation system. The Cable Enterprise is approximately 120m x 30m in size and has recently been re-fitted by Global Marine Systems.

3D Model for retro-fit of Cable Laying Ship
Severn were given solid 3D models of the majority of components on the vessel from the mechanical engineers. These were then converted to a polygon model and refined to reduce the number of polygons from 15 million to 600,000 so that the model would functioned efficiently in the navigation software. The refined model was then texture mapped and exported in the required format.

Shrewsbury Town FC: 3D Laser Scan to Revit Model

Shrewsbury Town Football Club: 3D Laser Scan to Building Information Model
Autodesk Revit Model from Point Cloud Data
Earlier in the year the Scan2BIM team at the Severn Partnership completed a project with Shrewsbury Town Football club to 3D laser scan the whole of their stadium for the creation of a Building Information Model.

The ground, named the 'New Meadow' holds 9,875 supporters and the club moved there from their old ground 'Gay Meadow' in 2007.

The site was scanned both internally and externally in 5 days using our Leica C10 laser scanner and modelled in Autodesk Revit.

Laser Scan to 3D Model for Retro-fit Design

3D Laser Scan of the Amazon factory, Swansea for retro-fit project
Rhino3D Model with Scan Cloud
Severn have recently completed a project with Gaunt Francis Architects on a scan to 3D model retro-fit project in the Amazon factory, Swansea. The factory; Amazon's largest in the UK is the size of ten football pitches and ships goods across the UK and Europe.

The project was to help the architects design a new staircase that passed through a congested area of the factory. It involved using our Leica C10 laser scanner to laser scan part of the factory. This was then used within Rhino3D to create an accurate 3D block model of all  racking, railings, MEP and building structure that may clash with the proposed staircase design.

Thank you to Gaunt Francis Architects for providing some images of the proposed staircase design.

Severn Partnership; a busy start to 2012

Severn Partnership: Providing a Level Perch
Since the start of 2012 the Severn Partnership have been working flat out on projects around the country. This has included ongoing High Output Track Renewal (HOTR) projects, work at Paddington station, the surveying of numerous bridges and the scanning of factories and a golf course.

We would also like to welcome two new members to the Severn Partnership team; Jonathan Harman and John Woods who have joined our survey team. With a busy schedule ahead look out for more blog posts of ongoing and completed projects.
