INDUSTRY APPLICATION
Designed for Historic Structures Where Accuracy and Preservation Matter
Historic buildings and civic facilities require careful documentation to balance preservation with modernization. Many structures lack reliable drawings, making it difficult to plan restoration, accessibility upgrades, and infrastructure improvements. Accurate, non-invasive documentation allows project teams to understand existing conditions without disturbing fragile materials or historic features.
✓ Historic restoration and preservation projects
✓ Incomplete or missing original documentation
✓ Delicate architectural features and materials
✓ Government and civic building documentation
✓ Long-term archival and heritage records
COMMON CHALLENGES
When Historic Buildings Lack Accurate Documentation, Restoration Becomes Risky
Historic structures often contain complex geometry and undocumented modifications, making traditional measurement methods unreliable and difficult to execute.
✓ Original drawings are incomplete, inaccurate, or missing
✓ Intricate architectural features are difficult to measure manually
✓ Manual documentation risks damaging fragile materials
✓ Undocumented changes create uncertainty during restoration planning
These challenges increase risk, slow restoration planning, and make it difficult to protect the building’s historic integrity.
HOW SENTINEL SCANNING HELPS
Accurate, Non-Invasive Documentation for Preservation and Restoration
Sentinel Scanning captures detailed building data without physical contact, allowing preservation teams to document and analyze structures safely and accurately.
-
Sentinel Scanning records millions of measurement points across the building’s surfaces, creating a highly accurate digital representation of historic structures and architectural features.
-
The resulting point cloud dataset allows architects and engineers to analyze spatial relationships, structural conditions, and architectural details with exceptional accuracy.
-
Accurate scan data helps preservation teams plan restoration work, evaluate structural conditions, and maintain the integrity of historic materials.
-
Because the scanning process is non-contact, fragile materials, ornamental details, and historic finishes can be documented without risk of damage.
-
Scan data provides a permanent digital record of the structure, supporting future restoration efforts, research, and historical documentation.
