3D scanning in
Downtown Portland, OR.
Downtown Portland is a compact grid of cast-iron and brick historic buildings, civic landmarks, and mid-rise offices, much of it already ripe for seismic upgrade or reuse.
3D laser scanning in Downtown Portland, OR
We scan Old Town and Skidmore historic blocks, City Hall and county civic buildings, and Portland State University structures for retrofit and rehabilitation. Unreinforced masonry buildings are a recurring driver, since seismic strengthening designs need accurate wall thickness, floor levels, and diaphragms. Small blocks, streetcar and MAX lines, and frequent rain mean careful planning of staging and weather-protected equipment.
Scope follows the question being asked. If the team already models in-house, an E57 and LAS handoff is the whole handoff; if the answer has to reach a permit desk, plans drawn from measured geometry is faster and easier for everyone downstream to open; if coordination is the real problem, a coordinated BIM deliverable is what pays for itself. Anything outside the envelope — roof, yard, stockpile — comes from drone survey work in the same mobilization.
Downtown Portland sits inside our Oregon service area, so mobilization is short and a return visit for a phase-two capture does not mean rebuilding the whole job. Most work here is scheduled within days rather than weeks, including nights and weekends for occupied buildings.
