Association of Engineers: NavVis VLX can reach areas that other scanners cannot reach
Rek & Wiek is an association of engineers. Specifically, R&W is an association of engineers invested by two unions. According to national l regulations, they carry out a series of tasks, such as regional surveying and mapping, urban planning and deployment planning, etc.
Rek & Wiek has been using the NavVis technology for six years. Today, let's take a look at the experience of Rek & Wiek, the pioneer of NavVis VLX.
NavVis VLX meets the diversified needs of the market
"We have found customers demand for the diversity of mobile scanning, and NavVis VLX can just fill that gap."
As a company of highly respected chartered engineers, Rek & Wiek also has a natural mission to drive and test new technologies in the industry. So they jumped at Navvis's invitation to test this new wearable mobile scanning system NavVis VLX.
Christof Rek, founder of Rek & Wieck, explained: "We found that mobile scanning requires more flexibility and NavVis VLX can satisfy them. I've been pleasantly surprised by the quality of data we've been collecting with this new device since December 2019, and it inspires us to continue using it in the future. "
To reach areas that no other scanner can reach
" We made a variety of additional measurements with the Navvis VLX, including stairwells, smaller rooms, or locations where there were many obstructions on the construction site. Getting through the construction site in this way is surprisingly easy."
When it came to actually testing, the Rek & Wieck team had a challenge from the start. They had to take the device to a building site and scan a 13-story building.
Aroslav Bilusak is a joint engineer with the 3D BIM team and Rek & Wieck. He described it this way: "Our building site is located in Ernst-Reuters-Platz 6, and the whole building is being renovated." In other words, the challenge was to take 3D measurements of the entire building, which required a very high degree of precision.
" We scanned all of the 13 floors with a Navvis M6 to form a 3D model of the entire building and presented the model using the Navvis IndoorViewer." Aroslav said so. Moreover, They also needed to document all the girders, including gaps in them, for subsequent reconstruction.
At the same time, NavVis VLX is the perfect partner of M6 in order to measure more difficult places."We used NavVis VLX to complete a variety of measurements, including stairs and small rooms. It's much easier to move around the building this way." Aroslav added. "And the quality of the point cloud is also very satisfactory, and we have obtained very high accuracy."
"For me, NavVis VLX perfectly complements NavVis M6 and brings us more economic benefits. We will use NavVis VLX to obtain 3D modeling of the whole building more efficiently, whether it is new or existing." Christof Rek said.
