Grant: Applied Research Tools and Instruments Grants
George Brown College of Applied Arts and Technology
$148,637.00
Laser Scanner System for Building Information Modelling Projects
FY 2013-14
Summary
George Brown College (GBC) is requesting NSERC-ARTI funding to enable the purchase of a TOPCON GLS-2000 GEODETIC 3D LASER SCANNER system. The GLS-2000 is a High-Speed, Long-Range, High-Precision, All-in-One 3D Laser Scanner system that captures point clouds and picture image data simultaneously for Computer Assisted Design (CAD) applications. The system will include the laser scanner, related software, server, cloud-server, accessories and training. The GLS-2000 is based on LiDAR technology, a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light. The GLS-2000 system is essential to support Building Information Modelling (BIM) projects that require George Brown researchers to rapidly and accurately create: - 3D surveys of construction sites and associated structures and transform this data into 3D AutoCAD format - 3D AutoCAD models of existing buildings for retrofit projects - 4D BIM Models (3D AutoCAD vs. time) - 5D BIM Models (3D AutoCAD vs. time and expense)
