Project Description
Euler Engineering was engaged to digitally capture and model a large heritage industrial building featuring extensive brickwork, repetitive arches, and complex steel roof truss systems. The project required a highly accurate digital representation of both the existing fabric and the roof structure to support refurbishment, adaptive reuse, and design coordination works.
Scope & Methodology
-
Conducted high-resolution 3D laser scanning of the full building envelope and internal spaces
-
Captured heritage brick façades, arched openings, columns, floors, and internal volumes
-
Performed detailed scanning of the roof structure, including trusses, purlins, and secondary steel members
-
Processed scan data into a registered point cloud covering the full length and height of the structure
-
Developed a coordinated 3D model combining architectural and structural elements
-
Modelled roof steelwork and interfaces directly from scan data to reflect true site geometry
Outcome & Value
-
Delivered a highly accurate digital as-built model of a complex heritage structure
-
Enabled designers to confidently plan roof modifications and building upgrades
-
Preserved critical heritage geometry while allowing modern interventions to be designed safely
-
Reduced risk associated with undocumented structural conditions
-
Provided a long-term digital asset suitable for BIM coordination, approvals, and future works
Accuracy
-
Millimetre-level accuracy achieved through laser scanning
-
Model suitable for architectural coordination, structural design, and refurbishment planning
