Yet another project of ours involving heritage documentation of Teutonic Order fortress by means of new technology – 3d scanning.
Castle in Toruń was founded at the end of thirteenth century and is the oldest fortress of the Teutonic Order in Poland. Initially the dormitory and a chapel on a south wing was erected. Then built an octagonal tower, chapter house, a well and sanitary tower called Gdaniskiem (in order to express his contempt for the free city of Gdańsk). At the beginning of the fifteenth century, the castle was expanded and strengthened its fortifications. In 1454, the townspeople of Toruń conquered the castle and at the direction of the City Council it was destroyed.

Castle of the Teutonic Knights Order in Gniew was erected on square plan in the XII and XIV century, it is the most powerful stronghold on the left bank of the Vistula river. Originally inhabited by the Teutonic commanders and then rebuilt several times and it changed it’s purpose for a granary, and later for prison. It was burned in the Great Fire of 1921. The fortress since 1968 has been successively rebuilt and restored, so now it’s open for public it also holds many performances and productions of historical and tournaments.

Sugar plant in Slutsk alongside such factories like: Gorodeya, Skidel Zhabinka is one of the largest sugar producer in Belarus. The official data for the year 2009 states that the daily capacity of Slutsk sugar plant is eight thousand tons. The design works that are currently underway that plan to expand this capacity to ten thousand tons per day.
In January 2011 our company performed 3D laser scanning of structural elements and inner equipment of the factory building. We set up 576 individual scans individual scan positions along the 3d scanning we carried out precise measurement of control points. The whole scan data has been registered into a single coordinate system with the global registration accuracy lower than 5mm.
The data we obtained will be used to create 3D model of entire plant. We have also generated a TruViews of each scan position. This data format is supported by a free Internet Explorer plug-in provided by Leica Geosystems. It allows for viewing point cloud data, displaying global co-ordinates of each selected point and distance measurements of any selected objects in the space.

3d scanning of outside structure of the monastery in Skalbmierz took less than one day. In such a short time we managed to obtain full spatial data of the object there data later could be used to plot precise floor plans, sections and elevation views. If necessary these data can be converted in to 3D CAD model. The first deliverable of 3d scanning process – point cloud can be reused at any time, for example to the faithful reproduction of the object in case of fire or flood.

Autumn of 2010 made ​​a complete inventory of the building from national heritage list — former William Landau bank in Warsaw on Senatorska no 38. This object luckily as one of very few was not destroyed during the Second World War and is best preserved building in Art Nouveau style in Warsaw.

Just after we purchased 3d laser scanner Riegl VZ-400 we ventured to do 3d laser scanning of a telecom tower in Kraków – Podgorze, Poland. This object is 62 meter high and was built in 1965, it is a property of TP EmiTel. We have done very similar project hds laser scanning of a telecom tower in Scotland, this was only a test project aimed to check scanner performance and possibly show the results to the owner company. There are many advantages of using 3d laser scanner to measure this kind of object: We received a huge amount of data in such a short time ( the whole measurement took 6 hours),

After Polkowice this is our second 3d laser scanning project in the mine this time better known object. Wieliczka Salt Mine is the only facility in the world mining industry, which is continuously open from the Middle Ages to the present day. The total length of all the shafts and galleries is about 300 km, and deepest of them reaching 327 meters below the surface. Since 1978 the, Wieliczka Salt Mine, has been listed on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Our company has teamed up with another technical university in Krakow. Previously, we made 3d laser scanning of the railway station PKP Słomniki for Cracow University (Politechnika) of Technology, this time in collaboration with the Academy of Science and Technology (AGH) made a 3D scanning in the KGHM Polkowice-Sieroszowice copper mines.

In October 2010 we won a project in the Netherlands. The customer ordered a terrestial laser scanning laser of a chemical installation. Used a 3D laser scanner (Riegl VZ-400) and precision total station Leica TCRA 1101 plus.

In October 2010 in cooperation with Krakow University of Technology we made a experimental survey of the railway infrastructure facilities at the Słomniki station. The purpose of the measurements was to determine the feasibility of 3d laser scanning for verifying the gauge consistency of tracks. We used a Riegl VZ-400 3D laser scanner with a scan range of up to 500 meters. All data (represented as point clouds) were registered into one coordinate system. Medium registration error / point cloud fitting was ± 5mm.

During this project the application 3d laser scanner Riegl VZ-400 to large scale objects gave us very good resluts The point cloud of even very high power line masts is very datailed and acurate.

In August 2010 we sent a surveying team to scan a chemical plant in Germany. The job was commissioned by design office that needed to do a inventory of one part of chemical installation.

In June 2010 3Deling has performed a 3d laser scanning of col propelled power plant in Warsaw. The plant is undergoing a mayor refurbishment. The scan data was collected in a very short time, without any interruption to process performance. The final product we delivered was a registered point cloud in a .pod (pointools) file format of an inside and outside structures of a power plant building.

Kuwait Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) plans to expand Kuwait International Airport to increase its capacity to 20 million passengers a year from 6 million.
The expansion project involves the construction of a new terminal building that will be connected to the existing terminal building via a tunnel, the two existing runways will be extended up to 600 meters and a third runway will be constructed. In August 2010, the design of the terminal building was completed by Foster and Partners.

In Summer 2010 we carried out 3d laser scanning of tunnel (gallery) of pumped-storage water power plant in Porąbka, Poland. This power plant is a second largest pumped-storage water power plant in Poland and was constructed in 1979. The gallery is 470 meters long, the average width is about 5.5 meters and height up to 6 meters. The difference in height between the gate and the plant chamber is 48.92 m. There are numerous stains and infiltrations on the walls and arch of tunnel showing considerable humidity of the object. In the coming months sealing work will be carried out – using the “crystalline injection technology”.

In Summer 2010 we visited Beirut. The purpose of the visit was to carry our a 3D scanning of UFA Assurances building and the execution of its three-dimensional model. The precise 3D model will help our client to prepare a multimedia presentation that appears on this site.
This modern technology, multimedia show called 3D mapping consists of displaying 3D animation and graphical presentation on the objects with irregular shapes.

Train station in Gdynia is one of the biggest railway stations in Poland. Was destroyed during the II World War. New station, designed by prof. Waclaw Tomaszewski was built in the fifties. The complex consists of a station building and railway station connected by covered walkway. In the basement of the station there are two air-raid shelters. Refurbishment project of this complex worth 30 mln euro is going to take place in the middle of next year.

In June 2009 3deling won a contract to perform the elevation surveys of Teatr Polski (The Polish Theatre) in Warsaw. Built in 1913 and later reconstructed after the devastation of the 2nd world war, this building is listed as a national Polish heritage site. The project’s high demand for precise conservational detail and accuracy made it a perfect fit for 3d laser scanning.

Our task was to deliver a 3d model of Middlesex Hospital Chapel in London. The object is included in the National Heritage list. We were hired just to do the model we received as the scanner data that was already registered.

The investor planned to build a new shopping complex in the center of Birmingham called “Martineau Galleries”. There were 2 reasons to commission 3d modeling services of surrounding buildings. The first one “right of lights” regulations,
