The client required a full semi-connected survey of all internal floor plans and external elevations of all buildings on site to their specific specification. For an appreciation of the size of the project, the GIA (Gross Internal Area) of all buildings on site totalled 49,222sqm.My role throughout the project was to arrange access into particularly restrictive areas such as laboratories, lecture theatres and offices, liaise with the client with weekly update reports, as well as lead a small team of surveyors on site whilst personally carrying out the majority of survey duties.The initial stage of the project was to commence with the external elevation survey whilst establishing on site control and measurement of the building footprints with a combination of detailed reflector and reflectorless total station (GELS02B) measurements as well as sketching and measuring the building footprints with the use of a hand held tape measure and distance-meter.The next stage of the project was to control the ground floor and internal courtyards by way of traversing and detailing methods with the use of a total station whilst also recording floor levels. All upper floors where then hard levelled using an automatic level and staff, traversing up and down various stair cores to complete closed levelling loops (GELS01C). The client specification required a minimum linear accuracy of 1:20,000 for distances exceeding 200 meters and for shorter distances the maximum error not to be greater than ±5mm for all traversing which were all to be closed loops with vertical accuracies stated to be within ±1.5mm for every meter of height between floors. All accuracies were met however in some cases, due to short baselines and poor angles the internal control was not as good as the external which was to be expected.Once the building footprint, ground floor structure and floor levels were complete, the individual site buildings were then drawn in AutoCAD (GECORE5A) and exported into the floor plan software used to record and plot measurements live on site ‘MBS Floor Plans’. The small team of surveyors measured all internal areas of the buildings with the use of a tape measure, handheld distance-meter and ‘MBS Floor Plans’ compatible tablet.All floor plan data was then exported into AutoCAD to be adjusted where necessary and presented according to the client’s specification before finally delivering to the client via email, CD and 1:100 scale paper plots.xxxxxxxxxxx Police PropertiesXxxxxxxx were appointed to undertake measured building surveys of all xxxxxxxx Police buildings with some requiring topographical survey information (GECORE6A). My role was to act as lead surveyor and project manager in order to ensure successful completion of each building to a tight timescale dictated by the client.The individual sites ranged from single storey, open plan office spaces within community buildings to the Thames Valley Police headquarters at Kidlington, Oxfordshire including all buildings, surrounding topography and drainage information.Each site was approached with similar methodologies, firstly to establish site control by total station observations whilst recording accurate building footprints to be used when measuring internal floor plans by total station methods. If a topographical survey of the particular site was required, all external works would be undertaken and completed prior to the commencement of any internal floor plan measurements. Each project was required to be relative to OSGB36 national grid and level datum constrained between a minimum of three control stations with scale factor removed, derived with the use of a GNSS receiver (GECORE3A).All observations, control networks and topographical detail were processed from the office with the use of ‘SCC’ survey software and ‘AutoCAD’. The accurately plotted building footprints were imported into ‘MBS Floor Plan’ software on a compatible tablet PC allowing live measurement recording (via Bluetooth distance-meters) and plotting on site which in turn drastically reduced the required office processing time, leading to efficient and timely completion of floor plan deliverables.xxxxxxxx School, Brooklyn, New York CityA UK based geotechnical firm appointed xxxxxxxxx to undertake and supply a full 3D Laser Scan survey of a school in Brooklyn, New York City which was required to be suitable for generating a 3D model within Autodesk’s Revit software. All external elevations and roof areas as well as each internal room was required to be scanned with minimal scan data ‘shadowing’.Operating as a lone surveyor, transporting a considerable amount of equipment across the Atlantic proved to be one of the more challenging elements of the entire project. Once safely located in Manhattan, my role included liaising with the designated client contact abroad in order to arrange access to the school which was to be measured during term time and with over three hundred children to avoid it was agreed that for the internal survey tasks we would operate at night which had to be organised through the school’s custodian.Once all access arrangements had been made and all parties were clear on the proposal, work began by commencing the laser scanning (GECORE2A) of the external elevations and various levels of roof which was completed during school hours. Once all external laser scan data had been recorded and controlled by way of acquiring total station coordinated HDS and Black and White scan targets, work began on the internal laser scanning element. This was achieved by scanning every room and space within the school which stretched over four storeys. All corridors were controlled using total station coordinated scan target acquisition and used as a control ‘spine’ which all side rooms would link to by way of using ‘cloud to cloud’ constraints. In order to guarantee an accurate registration of individual ‘point clouds’ a scan was recorded in each doorway leading into a room to ensure sufficient scan data overlap for ‘cloud to cloud’ algorithms to be successful. Controlling the scan targets proved to be a challenging task. Total station traversing methods were used to coordinate the targets which were positioned with suitable geometry throughout the main corridors of each floor with targets also positioned in larger rooms including the assembly and sports halls as well as the odd target in rooms off of the corridors which were visible from control station set-up locations within the corridors. An external control network was used to traverse in to the building from. Control stations were established through open windows at one end of the school and closed off back through open windows at the other end of the school to a known control station within the primary control network to enhance overall accuracy giving respectable misclosure results averaging 1:25,000 linear accuracies.Over 300 scans were recorded during the project and each one had to be registered and unified to create one model space. This process was achieved using Leica’s ‘Cyclone’ software. Once all total station observations were computed and the results of the scan targets available, registration could begin. All point clouds with two or more coordinated targets acquired on site fitted together at the press of a button. It was then possible to use these controlled scans to perform cloud to cloud algorithms with other uncoordinated point clouds. The process was a success with all registered scan data well within the clients’ tolerances with an average error of 5mm between individual point clouds.The registered 'point cloud' was then inspected by taking sample cross sections in order to check for any discrepancies between individual point cloud alignments. This process was then duplicated by a fellow experienced colleague and once satisfied with the results, the registered model space was unified and delivered to the client on a USB flash drive. ................
