Case Study: From paper plans to point clouds
Purposeful Innovation: How Hillcrest Structural
were able to reduce labor and plant costs, increase
accuracy and save time by switching from
measuring tapes and spirit levels to point clouds
and robotic measurement.
Hillcrest specializes in refurbishment works
and often needs layout dimensions and
existing steelwork connection details in order
to successfully integrate its steelwork with the
structure they are working on.
Working with groundbreaking
technology such as this gives the
Hillcrest team a chance to flourish and
attracts a new generation of draftsmen
to the industry.

Jamie says that despite the technology being
new to the survey team, it has been easy to pick
up and the RTS773, X7 and FieldLink have been
easily integrated into the way the Hillcrest team
now works.
Overall, scanning technologies have proven to
be extremely effective in steel fabrication by
providing accurate measurements, enhancing
coordination, and reducing errors and costs.
As such, they have become an essential tool
for steel fabricators looking to streamline their
workflows and achieve greater efficiency.
