Medical Center Central Utility Plant
Rapid Scanning:
This facility was scanning in one hour, which is impressive and highlights the efficiency of the scanning with the NavVisVLX mobile LiDAR scanne. This speed minimizes disruptions to the facility's operations, which is crucial in a medical center environment.
Components Scanned:
The scan captured a comprehensive range of essential components, including:
Chillers and Chilled Water Pumps
Cooling Towers and Condenser Water Pumps
Steam Boilers
Domestic and Heating Hot Water Heat Exchangers
As-Built Mesh Model:
The mesh model created from the point cloud provides a detailed 3D representation of the utility plant. This model is invaluable for various applications:
Facility Management and Maintenance: Ensures that maintenance teams have access to accurate models for planning and executing repairs or upgrades.
Design and Retrofit Projects: An as-built model aids designers and engineers in planning modifications or expansions, ensuring compatibility with the existing infrastructure.
Compliance and Reporting: Provides a documented basis for meeting regulatory requirements.
By employing laser scanning technology to create an as-built mesh model, the medical center achieves a high level of precision in documenting its central utility plant. This approach not only supports effective facility management but also enhances operational efficiency and ensures compliance with healthcare construction standards.
