Martin/Martin used our laser scanning capabilities to create a 3D point cloud of the lower ore bins at the historic Argo Mill. The 3D point cloud serves as a memorialization of the lower ore bins for use in monitoring any subsequent movement during adjacent construction or other long-term movement. The design team also performed a structural condition assessment and repair designs, assisted by the 3D point cloud.
