Mosaic Life Care — St. Joseph, MO
LiDAR capture of an active hospital floor during structural demolition to support the next phase of renovation design.
October 2021
A structural engineering firm contacted Rogue Visual Design to scan at Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph, Missouri. The hospital was remodeling the northeast wing of the third floor and they needed an accurate laser scan of the space to develop plans which reflected the existing site conditions. The structural design team had a Revit model; however, it was based on outdated drawings.
Mosaic Life Care is a nonprofit, community-based integrated health system serving the residents of northwest Missouri, northeast Kansas, southeast Nebraska, and southwest Iowa — a population of approximately 270,000 and the region's largest employer of more than 4,000 people.
To support an extremely tight design and construction schedule, Rogue dispatched a LiDAR crew to scan while site demolition was still in progress. As a result, the engineering team was able to start developing their model several weeks earlier. Rogue Visual Design returned to the hospital once interior demolition was complete to rescan the third floor. In less than 6 hours of total scan time, our LiDAR team captured over 21,000 square feet of a very active construction site — twice. Rogue Visual Design provided the client with precise measurements of building elements such as pipes, windows, walls, steel, structural deviations, and more.
