MTI adds RTC360 to it's LiDAR scanning tools

Featured \ Company News

As technology changes our lives it also changes how we work in many ways. One of those ways is how we handle CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) and drawing coordination. In the past drawings had to be made by hand (virtually), aligned, coordinated and then executed on correctly in the field. There are many scenarios that allow for human error unfortunately or are very time intensive, that can be accomplished faster and more accurately by incorporating "real" conditions in the field rather than assumed on a drawing.

3D Scanning (LiDAR) has bridged that gap and is allowing the capture and sharing of "real" data from the field, accurate down to the 0.5mm. Leica technology has brought the real world into the virtual world at a level that has never been accomplished till now. MTI field technicians deploy the RTC360, capturing 2 million points per second as we collect data and register it in real time, in the field and in full color. Using the latest Photogrammetry technology measurements can be take directly off some of our deliverables. Giving designers and draftsmen confidence that the changes they are making will align properly with the equipment already existing.

Once data is collected MTI can create many different deliverables tailored for your project needs. Raw Point Clouds, LAS, E57, LGS, TruView Local, TruView Enterprise, TruView Cloud, JetStream Local, JetStream Enterprise, RCP. Take it to the next level by using our RVT creation services. MTI can deliver your next project by worksets, Architectural, Electrical, Mechanical, Lighting, whatever the individual need or if you desire the total package MTI can help with that too.

Understanding how important drawing accuracy and coordination is, Mechanical Testing, Inc. starting performing 3D Scanning and Rendering services based on our clients need. There are many 3D Scanning companies out there, but most of them don't understand what they are scanning or how the data is important. Mechanical Testing, Inc. technicians have worked in Commercial and Industrial environments collectively for over 100 years, based on our current workforce.

Understanding the Mechanical Systems that are being scanned and how they operate is important. Understanding the project helps MTI capture more important and impactful data. Many of our competitors just give you a data dump... That's not the MTI way. Our team will give you a deliverable that includes a summary of the scope of work performed, important areas to point out and most importantly be there for you to support the project even after our work has been completed.

Tips, Traps and FAQs

If your HVAC BMS controls have a bunch of outdated overrides in them, your burning money! HVAC overrides of heating and cooling valves cost building owners and operators $10,000's of dollars a year if left unchecked. Commissioning your BMS will save you money this year! Make it part of your Preventive Maintenance routine annually

Each year 100's-1000's of man hours are lost to construction companies because of pour or no, virtual drawing coordination. Reality Capture allows for existing buildings to be 3D Scanned and imported directly to AutoDesk so designers can create your new design based off correct and current conditions of the building environment. Saving the project$

Here is short video of MTI Test and Balance Engineer, Brian Venn discussing an Independent approach to TAB and why we are a proud member of AABC!

AABC - Independence Matters

Drones can be used for many different applications. Our inspections offer drone solutions for construction that can significantly reduce costs of many items. Specifically, they can eliminate the need for costly lifts in many circumstances. Drone use is a valuable option for construction companies. MTI offers different services for the construction.

Continued Commissioning is a process that works to improve how equipment in the building and systems function together. There are many variables that come into play, the age of the building or system being one and how the sequence of operation is managing the daily equipment routines.

MTI believes in Full Project Awareness and that is exactly what a 3D Scan provides. MTI has a state of the art Leica RTC360 3D reality capture solution. MTI will capture your environment in 3D. Export it into a manageable Point Cloud that is ready to be converted into a working RVT file.

Building Commissioning is the practice that ensures buildings are delivered according to the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR). Buildings that are properly commissioned typically have fewer change orders, tend to be more energy efficient, and have lower operation and maintenance cost. DO NOT Value Engineer Commissioning out of your next project

Symptoms of a building with an Air Balance issue:
Entry way doors "howl" and are difficult to open or won't remain closed. Odor issues in storage areas, break rooms or worse...bathrooms! Frost forms on window sills in the winter. High and Low Temperature areas in a building. Cooling problems in the summer – no matter how long the AC runs.

Change filters every six to eight months. Did you know that dirty air filters can lead to Dirty Air? Dirty air filled will allergens like pollen and mold can lead to sick time in the work place. Sick time means reduced productivity... do we need to go on? They also put wear and tear on your HVAC system meaning you will have to replace it earlier.
