Location: Medieval City Walls, Pisa, Italy
Deliverables:
- Point Cloud in colour mode
- 2D AUTOCAD drawings, scale 1:50
- REVIT 3D MODEL
Project description:
The laser scanning survey was performed for the restoration and recovery plan of the medieval city walls of Pisa, in the tract between the Bastion Stampace and Lungarno Sonnino. The post-production data’s results are 2D graphic design made at the scale of 1:50 with the representation of each stone and a 3D model for the interpretation of mechanical instability.
The Challenge of restoration surveys:
Because of how buildings were built in the past, there is a challenge with aligning straight lines and angles. Most of the time, there are no original plans, which makes measured building surveys the most challenging and requires special expertise. Not every measured building surveyor or company can deliver quality restoration as build drawings and models. Our restoration Survey for Medieval City Walls, Pisa in Italy consisted of attentive surveying and non-invasive technology.

The team you need for your restoration project:
Here at Red Laser Scanning, we have a dedicated team of experts with relevant backgrounds, including historic and architectural education, years in heritage digital surveys, and post-production data 2D AUTOCAD & 3D REVIT.
The team will need a number of core skills to deliver high standard 2D AUTOCAD drawings & 3D REVIT models:
- Photography skills and equipment understanding: how to use a camera and other photography equipment to achieve the highest quality images in difficult environments
- Photogrammetry: ability to arrange images in the right order to achieve coverage and accuracy of the final layout
- Survey: a certain level of experience is required to perform this kind of heritage and restoration survey projects
- Software: good knowledge of different software such as CAD and CIS
- Archaeology/architecture: understanding of building and historical data and ability to analyse what client requires
- Data presentation: an ability to present data in the correct format
Heritage and restoration survey projects:
We have performed measured heritage and restoration surveys across London, the UK, and Europe. Our projects include historical buildings, museums, churches, historical objects such as Blackpool Tower and Church of San Paolo in Pisa.
