ToPa 3D supports Historic Preservation projects
in a variety of ways with our technology:- Producing accurate as-builts and digital replicas of complex and organic structures
- Use of Remote Sensing technology such as scanners, drones, and infrared cameras for safely performing building surveys in hard-to-reach areas, eliminating the need for scissor lifts and ladders for visual inspection, indoors or outdoors.
- Organizing hundreds or thousands of photos of a space, place or subject through robust geo-location software solutions.
- Advanced feasibility analysis for efflorescence detection, thermal emissivity readings and water detection, and structural integrity through precision geometric replication of the subject.
- Showcasing historic properties with visualization technology in simple yet compelling ways to tell the story of architecture, monuments or artifacts, engaging the public for fundraising and other preservation efforts.
Our reality capture data provides historic preservationists, conservators, and special interest groups the ability to understand a space comprehensively with 3D visualizations and robust, measurable data that can be shared and analyzed with all project teams or stakeholders. All this can be accomplished without little or no investment in specialized hardware or software for the historic preservationist. Our team simplifies 3D technology, making it accessible to just about anyone.
Engage
We listen and take interest in your story of the historical preservation efforts you are embarking on.
Through this process of discovery, we flush out where we can help which often leads to a combination of supporting elements such as 3D analysis, marketing support through visualizations, integration into grant proposals to investors, and pulling resources together to accomplish your goals.
Adopt
ToPa 3D takes on your project as your ally in the historic preservation process, treating the project as carefully and thoughtfully as you would.
We believe that preserving the past will help to create a more meaningful future for generations to come. In that spirit, we bring all of our creativity and passion for what we do into your project to ensure the best possible outcome.
Preserve
Our specialty is the use of 3D reality capture data, yet the use of this technology goes far beyond that one might think.
Our team has had the privilege of successful National Historic Register submissions with our map data. We have reduced the historical building survey process from weeks/months to days/hours, saving thousands of hours in labor. All of this was done within the bounds and sensitivities of historic spaces to ensure that the work is completed with zero impact to the site.
