When plant engineers at a pet food packaging facility needed to make modifications,
they asked TruePoint to provide as-built documentation and a 3D model to plan retrofits
to the existing structure. The project site consisted of 140,000 sq. ft. of interior space,
including warehouse space, packing equipment, a central palletizer, semi-truck loading bays
and material storage. TruePoint documented and modeled all architectural and structural
features, equipment, conduit and piping.
Project stakeholders were spread out over the United States. TruePoint uploaded the point
cloud data and model to Cintoo Cloud, enabling collaboration to plan facility modifications.
The plant engineers used the BIM model to begin design planning, complete virtual
interference checks, estimate project costs and avoid rework.
Going forward
TruePoint continues to use Cintoo Cloud as an efficient delivery system for its projects.
It aids its clients with IT restrictions and those who do not have the machines or software
to view and manipulate large files. It also offers them an online workspace in which to collaborate.
Instead of relying on file sharing sites or shipping hard drives to distribute data, the team can
easily upload laser scan data and models for clients. They refer to the online user guide,
following the steps and screenshots for navigating and viewing the Cintoo Cloud project console,
tool bar and workflows.
”We believe that in a fast-moving construction environment, team communication
and resolving project issues quickly are imperative and Cintoo Cloud is a vital part of this process.”
