Heritage 3D Laser Scanning, Floor & Reflective Ceiling Plans Combermere Abbey

Heritage 3D Laser Scanning for Internal building Survey

Severn were called in to undertake a high accuracy survey at the historic Comberemere Abbey Estate. The Heritage survey was focused around the estate's library, particularly its 16th century suspended plaster ceiling, which required restoration work.

The HDS Leica C10 laser scanner was ideal for the job as it could quickly produce highly accurate point clouds without the fear of damaging the historic structure further. The library and surrounding rooms were scanned and registered together to form a single point cloud. The resultant scan cloud was then used to produce highly detailed drawings of the library including floor plans, reflected ceiling plan, wall elevations and sections. These were then used to plan the restoration work.

Great Western Mainline Electrification Project - Structural Clearances

Great Western Mainline Electrification Project - Clearance for 150 Structures

Is it going to fit?

Severn Partnership has been assisting a major engineering consultancy in answering this question for 150 Structures on the Great Western Mainline as part of the Great Western Electrification Project.

Severn Partnership High Accuracy Railway Surveying

Severn Partnership Surveyors have been producing Topographical Surveys to establish Clearances for blacklisted structures and provide sufficient information surrounding the structure to allow for alteration proposals.

The 8 month long project, which ran on time saw at its peak up to 10 structures surveyed in a single night shift.

There were no incidents and Severn ensured that all the data was to the highest Quality, measured Safely and Delivered Professionally on Time.

Topographical Surveys for Structural Clearance Analysis

Track Renewals - Track Alignment & Cess Detail Surveying

High Accuracy Track Alignment & Cess Detail Surveying

With the continuous need to replace rail track, the Renewal train has played a vital role in delivering this rapid renewal system.  Working alongside this, Severn has provided the high accuracy survey data critical to its continuing success.

Track Renewal Train - Railway Surveying

Recently Severn have completed over 80,975 yards (approx. 46 miles) of topographical track alignment and cess detail survey along a section of the busy WCML LNW Route.  This work produced 30 digital survey models in both MX Genio and AutoCAD formats and 373 separate SC0 files for ClearRoute Gauging Analysis.

80% of the work was carried out in a Green Zone working environment, utilising both midweek night line blockages and weekend T3 possessions.  All the work was produced to the highest quality standards and delivered professionally on time.

Scan2BIM presenting at WMCEE BIM adoption conference - 31/01/12

Scan2BIM - laser scan to 3D Revit BIM model

The Scan2BIM team at the Severn Partnership will be presenting at the WMCEE 'Breaking down the barriers to BIM Adoption' conference on everything laser scan and BIM related.

West Midland Centre for Constructin Excellence Conference

The conference will take place on Tuesday 31st January 2012, with keynote speaker David Philp, Head of BIM implementation for the UK Cabinet office.  It will be packed full of excellent presentations covering all aspects of BIM adoption with plenty of time for discussion and networking.

Crossrail High Accuracy Surveying for Tunneling Monitoring

Crossrail Amberg Kinematic Laser Scan Point Cloud - Track

 As the Crossrail project starts it’s tunneling under the streets and infrastructure of London a huge amount of preparation work is going on to prevent monitor and  subsidence. 

Crossrail Amberg Kinematic Laser Scan Point Cloud - Paddington

Tunneling has already begun from the Western Portal, just outside Paddington Station, where The Severn Partnership has been busy compiling a comprehensive data set to be used for the monitoring of Network Rail infrastructure as the huge Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) munch their way underneath. 

Crossrail Paddington P-way Track Survey

Combining High Accuracy Leica TS30, 0.5 arc second 0.5mm, Total Stations with the latest Amberg Track Geometry Measuring Devices to coordinate every track and cross over unit on the approach to Paddington Station has provided the Crossrail team with a benchmark survey to monitor changes against. In addition a Kinematic Laser Scan Point Cloud provides a 3 dimensional model of all overhead line equipment and gantry structures prior to the TBMs passing underneath. Should any movement occur during tunneling, the entire stretch of track and infrastructure can be precisely reinstated with confidence. If all goes to plan, no one will even know the machines have been there....

3D Laser Scan to BIM - Shrewsbury Town FC

On-site 3D Laser Scanning of Shrewsbury Town FC Stadium

The Severn Partnership has embarked on the task of 3D laser scanning all of the Shrewsbury Town FC ground, internals and externals for conversion to a BIM 3D model.

The laser scanning is going to take place over a period of about a month, with teams working around Shrewsbury's busy football and conference schedule. Once the laser scans have been completed they are passed to our 3D modelling department for BIM modelling.

They are using the latest Autodesk Revit Architecture, Structure and MEP 2012 software to create the stadium into an intelligent parametric model. Due to the number and size of the scans, the point cloud has be sectioned up for ease of use and imported directly into Revit one section at a time.

Watch this space to find out more about this project in the coming weeks...
