Geogram scans and BIM models in Vitoria-Gasteiz as part of the Ensanche entrepreneurial eco-district project
The Ensanche entrepreneurial eco-district project, promoted by the Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council and led by Ensanche 21 Zabalgunea, aims to revitalize the socio-economic and urban development of the city's central district , the 19th-century Ensanche, by promoting the implementation of activities related to eco-design and eco-innovation , in a scenario of rehabilitation and regeneration of its urban fabric.
To understand the working scenario, Ensanche 21 commissioned Geograma to carry out a topographic survey, plans and photographs of the free interior spaces (public and private) and interior volumes of three blocks of the Ensanche de Vitoria-Gasteiz: Manzana del Teatro Principal, Manzana del Círculo and Manzana de Dendaraba.
Geograma had to create floor plans and elevations of the spaces and buildings, representing architectural elements of all kinds. Geograma's Inventory and Mapping team faced a major challenge because, due to the complexity of the environment, traditional topographic drawing and plan techniques might not be sufficient to achieve the desired results.
Faced with this challenge, Geograma proposed to the technical management of Ensanche 21 the use of Terrestrial Scanning with Leica Geosystems equipment, which allows for the rapid and safe measurement of all elements and details. Geograma also proposed BIM modeling of the architectural elements to be represented , in order to automatically generate the plans required for the project.
Thus, the measurements and plans were completed in record time , which allowed the other professionals and companies involved in the Ensanche eco-entrepreneurial district project to have complete and reliable documentation .
Geograma, using the GeoCassini , delivered over 60 GB of data as part of the contract, in addition to plans, in the form of georeferenced 3D point clouds , hundreds of spherical photographs, and BIM models of the architectural elements. Ensanche 21 will be able to share this valuable information via the platform so that professionals involved in the project can perform inspections, measurements, cross-sections, etc., with a single click and without having to travel to the site.
