National Museum Conditions Assessment and 3D Scan

In 2015,  leadership at the National Museum for Women in the Arts launched an extensive  building renovation project for their historic museum. As a subconsultant to  project civil engineering lead RK&K, Rice staff provided a site  conditions assessment and 3D scan of the property. Project Managers at RA  managed a multi-story exterior façade static scan, a complete interior static  scan (basement, roof, and all 6-main floors), and limited feature extractions  for comparisons.

This off-peak  hours project required GNSS and conventional surveying for ground level  primary control, in addition to daily field data review and registration from  licensed surveyors at Rice. Our photogrammetrists then fused that  LiDAR-scanned data to create highly detailed, 3D digital model of the entire  museum property.
