As-built 3D survey of billboard structures

Billboard structures across Brisbane, 3D laser scanned and modelled as-built, so the client could prefabricate new steel off site.

The brief & scope

Upgrade the screens. Make the steel off site.

The client was upgrading billboard structures across Brisbane. They needed accurate as-built surveys of each one, so new steel could be prefabricated off site and fitted on the day.

In scope
  • Support poles
  • Screen frames & trusses
  • Wall-mounted screens
  • Electrical cabinets
  • Footings & ground levels

The challenge

Steel made in a workshop has to fit first time.

The screens sit on rooftops and on top of tall poles, so every site needed working-at-heights gear alongside the scanner.

There's no room for "close enough" when steel is cut before it reaches site. We modelled every member as-built at high detail: real positions and sizes, deviations kept, nothing straightened.

Deliverables

What the client got

.rvt
Revit model
Every steel member modelled from the point cloud, as-built at high detail.
.dwg
2D + 3D AutoCAD
Dimensioned plans, elevations and sections, plus a 3D DWG for the fabricator.
.rcp .exe
Point cloud + walkthrough
Registered 3D scans and a scan walkthrough to measure from your desk.
The result

As-builts accurate enough to cut steel from, before anyone climbs back up.
