This presentation details the results of a field study conducted in July in Santa Cruz, California, where thirteen participants employed terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) to assess concrete tolerance on a construction site. The study aimed to establish the precision of TLS as a test method for verifying concrete tolerance in accordance with ASTM E-691-23. Additionally, it sought to quantify the bias of the TLS method by compar...
In this year's reality capture track, we have shown you the unprecedented value of reality capture systems when adopted into high-cost, high liability and fast pace environments, some of the problems these systems are solving today, and tools to help the effectiveness and quality of those solutions. However, our presenters will also have demonstrated how critical digital lifecycle planning can be to any asset, from pre-design through construction and lifetime operation right up to demolition,...
