Logistics
Reality capture and as-built modelling for a 72,000 m² logistics and distribution hub at Jurong.
Logistics
A logistics operator expanding an existing distribution hub needed an accurate as-built record of the facility prior to a phased refurbishment programme. We captured the entire site using a combination of terrestrial laser scanning and UAV photogrammetry, producing a registered point cloud accurate to sub-centimetre tolerance across the full footprint.
From the combined capture dataset we authored an as-built Revit model at LOD 300 covering the structural frame, mezzanine systems, dock equipment, and existing MEP distribution. The model was used directly by the fit-out contractor to plan the first refurbishment phase without any additional site visits.
Where
No Reliable As-Built Record
Years of incremental fit-out and equipment changes had left the original drawings unreliable for planning a structured refurbishment.
Operational Facility Couldn't Stop
The distribution hub operated 24/7, so any capture approach had to work around live operations without disrupting throughput.
Phased Refurbishment Needed a Stable Baseline
Three refurbishment phases were planned over two years — they all needed to design against the same accurate as-built baseline.
UAV Access Was Needed for Roof Structures
High-bay roof structure and rooflights couldn't be reached by terrestrial scanning alone, requiring an integrated aerial capture strategy.
Where
What
24/7 Operational Constraints
All scanning had to be scheduled around active logistics operations, with no access to live storage aisles during peak hours.
High-Bay Roof Access
Roof structures up to 18 m above floor level required UAV capture to supplement terrestrial scanning coverage.
Integrated Dataset Registration
Terrestrial and UAV datasets had to be registered into a single coherent point cloud without any accuracy loss at the join.
Phased Refurbishment Sequencing
The as-built model had to support three sequential refurbishment phases, requiring element-level attribution flexible enough for each phase's scope.
How
Capture in Operational Windows
Scanning was scheduled around logistics shift patterns, covering high-traffic aisles in off-peak windows and low-traffic areas during operational hours.
Integrate Terrestrial and UAV
Terrestrial and UAV datasets were registered against a common site control network and merged into a single coherent point cloud before modelling began.
Model to Phase Boundaries
The as-built model was structured with element attribution aligned to each refurbishment phase's scope, so each phase's design team could isolate their area without reworking the model.
Retain the Archive
The full registered scan dataset was retained as a permanent as-built record for the facility, available for future phases not yet in scope.
What
Integrated Point Cloud
Combined terrestrial and UAV capture registered to a site control network, delivered in RCP and E57 formats.
As-Built Revit Model
LOD 300 structural, MEP, and mezzanine model derived from the integrated point cloud.
Roof Structure Model
High-bay roof structure and rooflight positions captured via UAV and modelled into the as-built package.
Deviation Report
Dimensional deviation analysis against original design drawings flagging all discrepancies relevant to refurbishment planning.
What
What
“We had three refurbishment phases to plan and nothing reliable to design against. Neutec's scan gave every phase the same accurate baseline — and we never had to send anyone back to site.”
