The specialists in3D Modelling in New South Wales
Langford & Rowe’s 3D Modelling service creates highly accurate and detailed models of your project or site. Our system collects millions of points across a specified area or object using powerful laser scanning technology, which is then rendered into 3D models that can be viewed, measured and navigated in a realistic manner. This data can be used to generate 3D models for civil engineering projects, architectural design, facility management and much more.
To many people, point clouds are large, cumbersome files that are difficult to read or manipulate without the proper hardware and software. Models enable us to represent these large point clouds in a rendered 3D image. This is accomplished by draping a surface over the point cloud and colouring it with photos taken in the field while scanning. The end result significantly reduces the file size while providing the client with a detailed realistic capture of the structure. Models are extremely useful for capturing and storing detail so that it is never lost.
You can rely on us for a highly detailed and accurate 3D representation of your project. Our dedicated team is prepared to provide you with the services and support you require to achieve the best possible results. Contact us today to discuss how we can help you create a 3D model of your project.
The benefits of 3D Modelling
Applications of 3D Modelling
- Much more detail for designers; if a conduit must pass through a maze of existing pipes and/or structures, designers will know exactly where and what assets are already present – all of which can be done remotely.
- Decrease delays (no hidden surprises to slow construction).
- Zero ambiguity with regards to existing assets.
- Allows designers to identify structural flaws.
- Greater precision than traditional methods (i.e., measuring with tapes, making notes, taking photos).
- As-builts on bridges & buildings
- Roads and highways (particularly with active traffic)
- Pipeline mapping
- Fuel Depots & process plants
- Historical buildings
- Open-cut pits and stockpiles
- Mining and landfill applications can be scanned and modelled in a cost-effective manner, yielding detail that would be difficult to achieve using traditional methods.
BIM's (Building Information Model)
Langford and Rowe have been providing BIMs to clients throughout Australia, including engineers and architects, for many years. These 3D models provide valuable information for refurbishment, restoration, and future planning, which is critical for projects to run smoothly and on time. For a more concise understanding of the project, a BIM is used to create the best solutions for client and contractor requirements.
Heritage Surveys
We can use laser scanning to capture features of heritage-listed buildings and recreate them in the future or simply store the data for preservation. This is critical for heritage site maintenance and restoration; laser scanning equipment can easily identify structural or material defects, which can then be used to accurately detect the cause of the problem and apply the appropriate solution. We can also capture historic artefacts, giving us a better understanding of their size, age and condition for accurate preservation and recording.
MEP's (mechanical/electrical/plumbing)
MEP is a more advanced type of laser scanning that allows us to detect and map the intricate wiring, pipelines and ducts found in commercial buildings with greater precision. This provides critical insight into the health and condition of these complex networks, allowing us to detect potential issues before they become major problems. With a detailed scan, teams can identify any potential blockages, leaks or disconnections that traditional methods may miss and take the necessary steps to ensure the system’s longevity. If necessary, 2D drawings from these surveys can be generated and compared to design drawings to ensure that the services have been built correctly.
Bridge Surveys
Bridge surveys are performed to evaluate the condition of bridges and other structures. This includes inspecting each component, recording it and documenting any damage or wear. To ensure accuracy and comprehensive coverage, our experienced surveyors employ a variety of tools such as laser scanners, drones and traditional surveying techniques. We can create high-definition 3D models with detailed measurements, allowing us to assess any deterioration accurately. Following the completion of the survey, a comprehensive report is generated, which includes all pertinent measurements and documentation, as well as an overall assessment. This enables clients to make more informed decisions about their structures’ maintenance and repair plans.
Complex Mechanical Surveys
Complex mechanical surveys can be performed to assess the condition of critical assets and components such as mechanical joints, valves and pumps. Our team can inspect any defects that may limit the performance or efficiency of your asset using the most up-to-date diagnostic tools and techniques. We also provide detailed reports on the condition of any identified faults, allowing you to make informed repair or replacement decisions. Our team is outfitted with specialised tools that enable us to precisely measure the dimensions of a structure’s components. This reduces repair times and potential costs associated with unforeseen maintenance issues. With our assistance, you can ensure the long-term integrity of your assets and their components.
Substation Surveys
We conduct thorough surveys of substation assets to identify and address any critical needs. To ensure the safe operation of the substation, our team can identify damage, corrosion and other issues that may arise in a substation environment. We can provide detailed reports that include the overall condition of the asset as well as any recommendations for repairs or upgrades. Furthermore, our team can offer expert advice to assist you in making informed decisions about your substation assets.
Interference Modelling
We use detailed interference modelling to ensure that existing and proposed infrastructure components meet all applicable standards. Our team is highly skilled at assessing the potential impact of new installations on existing systems using the most up-to-date software tools and techniques. We can provide detailed reports outlining any potential issues as well as recommendations for mitigating them.
We find the best solutions for our clients and are confident in our abilities to achieve the accuracy and precision that you require for your project. Contact us today to discuss your specific needs; our friendly and knowledgeable team will be happy to help!
