Project Overview
This former NHS hospital was opened in 1879 and served as Edinburgh’s main hospital until 2003. The building was purchased by the University of Edinburgh for conversion into a new faculty.
Bury Associates were commissioned to carry out a laser scan to 3D Revit model survey of the entire structure. In addition, every stone along the building’s 5 storey, 1.2km long façade was to be mapped out to identify where repairs would be necessary. Due to the large number of stones making up such a substantial façade, CAD drawings enhanced with Ortho-Images were provided as a superior and more detailed method of mapping out imperfections in the stonework.
Solution
To capture the stonework the façade was laser scanned and a mast-mounted camera was used to take high resolution photography of inaccessible areas. The scans and photography were merged together to create a Reality Mesh, this was used to create CAD drawings with Ortho-Images inserted, which were issued to the client.
