Office Property Scans
This first video is the compilation of a summer's worth of learning about surveying. 3 other interns and I did internal and external scans of the office building that we worked in, scanned the road that led to the office and used a drone to capture the terrain around the office. This was done using robotic total stations, laser scanners, GPS software, laser scanner registration and help of our co-workers. We were able to present our project to the executives of the company and gifted them with a 3D printed version of the building.
You can check out the video below to see the building scan and see the road information added, then the terrain, and then see the office geolocated.
Wine Ruin Scan
During the internship, we had the opportunity to do a scan of a historical wine ruin in California. The scan was to document the ruin as it currently was since it has been deteriorating for years. The building is a candidate for restoration so the scan allowed history to be recorded and for the scan to be built upon for eventual upgrades (such as being made into a 3D model).

Year of Work | 2021-
Position | Virtual Design and Construction Engineer
Tools Used | Laser Scanners, Point Clouds, ClearEdge Edgewise, Autodesk Revit
Features | Reality Capture, Laser Scanning, Modeling Over Point Clouds
I was able to help and join my company's laser scanning department to scan multiple areas for different clients. I use FARO laser scanners to go into the field to physically laser scan the area and import the registered point cloud into Revit and Edgewise. Revit is used to model the existing conditions for architecture and structural elements and Edgewise is used to model the existing conditions for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.
