Project Description

Scan Skunks continues to support innovative design and construction projects by providing precise LiDAR scanning and modeling services. Our recent work in Thomasville, GA, involved the as-builts of the 8,800-square-foot Vashti Center, a project spearheaded by the architects at CDH Partners. This one-day scanning trip showcased the efficiency and accuracy of our process, culminating in detailed Revit models and deliverables for architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems.

A Comprehensive Approach to LiDAR Scanning

The Vashti Center, known for its community-focused mission, required precise as-built documentation to ensure the redesign would meet modern standards while preserving its functional integrity. Scan Skunks delivered on this challenge by:

  • Scanning the Facility: Using advanced LiDAR technology, we captured every detail of the building's interior and exterior.
  • Providing High-Resolution Data: The scan data was meticulously analyzed to ensure no detail was missed, from structural elements to intricate design features.

This comprehensive approach allowed CDH Partners to have a reliable foundation for their redesign plans.

Efficient Day-Trip Scanning

Time is a valuable resource in any project, and Scan Skunks understands the importance of minimizing disruptions. Our team completed the entire scanning process in a single day, ensuring the project stayed on schedule. This efficiency underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality results without unnecessary delays.

Revit Modeling and Detailed Drawings

After capturing the data, our team utilized Revit to create detailed models and drawings for the Vashti Center. These deliverables included:

  • Architectural Plans: Precise layouts that reflect the building's current structure and design.
  • Mechanical Systems: Accurate documentation of HVAC systems, ensuring efficient future planning.
  • Electrical Layouts: Detailed representations of wiring, fixtures, and power systems.
  • Plumbing Schematics: Comprehensive diagrams of piping, water flow, and drainage systems.

These comprehensive drawings provided CDH Partners with all the information necessary to proceed confidently with their redesign.

Why LiDAR Scanning Was Essential for the Vashti Center

LiDAR scanning brings unparalleled accuracy to projects like the Vashti Center redesign. The data allows architects and engineers to:

  • Visualize the Existing Structure: Understand the building's layout and challenges without extensive manual measurements.
  • Plan for Modern Upgrades: Incorporate updated systems while respecting the original design.
  • Reduce Errors: High-precision models minimize the risk of costly design revisions during construction.
