Swissotel Scan to BIM Projects
BIM MODEL
Swissotel The Bosphorus, Istanbul is a five-star luxury hotel right in the centre of Istanbul on the European banks of the Bosphorus. The digital transformation of different venues in Swissotel is done by Surveyhands Engineering.
The hotel offers 566 guest rooms and suites, featuring state-of-the-art technology and exclusive amenities. In addition to these areas, there are Fuji Ballroom used for weddings and meetings and various meeting rooms. You can examine the LOD200 level BIM model of the Fuji Ballroom, one of the most impressive areas of the hotel in this frame.
This data provides great convenience in terms of facilitating operational processes, showing different set-up installations for different organizations and digitizing area management.
POINT CLOUD
Infrared scanning systems were mainly used in the projects prepared for Swissotel. By using these systems, we create point cloud that is more useful, easily accessible on the internet, and allows you to examine the entire area compared to traditional laser scanning systems.
You can examine the point cloud data of the Swissotel 5th Floor area, where we can provide information about the locations and names of different areas with annotations.
At the same time, this data can be used in different software such as Revit, Sketchup, AutoCAD and 2D drawings (as-built), BIM Model and orthographic photos of the area can be obtained.
3D DIGITAL TWIN (VIRTUAL TOUR)
Thanks to 3D Digital twin which is the most impressive data we create for hotel spaces, your customers can experience the entire area as if they were there, even if they do not have physical access to your hotel. In this project, you can visit the 5th floor of Swissotel as you wish.
With a digital twin, you can give different information to your customers as they walk the area. Thanks to the smart tags we place in the field, we offer photos, videos and pdf documents to your users. In addition, your customers can book the room they want by connecting to your website with the links we add to these smart tags. In this way, you can easily interact with them in a 3D environment.
One of the most important features of the data we produce is that anyone with internet access can easily access this data. In this way, you can make the space available to all your customers with smartphones, tablets, laptops and VR headsets.
For important events such as weddings and meetings, the hotel need the measurements of the event area.Taking measurements for many details such as the stage, table, visuals to be placed on the walls, door entrances, ceiling heights for the organization area is a process needed in every organization.
- Organization Team Needs
Measurements for entire area
- Staff Needs
Providing the desired dimensions to the event company for the organizations. Effective coordination with the hotel team for the activities in the hotel area and information about the event.
- Manager Team Needs
Showing the areas open for sale in the hotel effectively, ensuring that the details of the areas can be explained remotely.
Creating a digital twin of the hotel using infrared scanning method and converting the obtained digital data into a 3D virtual tour and BIM model. With this method, the whole area is transferred to the digital in the most realistic method.
- The Best Method for Inspections
Compared to 2D images, 3D digital twins are 300% more efficient in customer interaction. You have a realistic copy of your space and you have the opportnity to visit and examine as if you were in there.
- Opportunity to Take Measurements from Digital Data
One of the most effective features of digital 3D data is that it can be mesured easily. With a few simple steps in the toolbar, measurements can be taken from the area and easily shared.
- Fast and easy sharing feature
Since 3D digital data is stored on AWS (Amazon Web Server), it can be easily shared 24/7 and access can be provided from any platform.
Organization areas in Swissotel were captured in 3D and transferred to digital. A digital twin was created that can be navigated and measured in 3D data. The obtained data was modelled and a BIM model with LOD200 was created that can be used in technical operations of the building.
- Digital copies of the hotel’s event spaces were created
Thanks to the 3D digital twins that can be used in the organization of hotel events and inspections, event owners and hotel employees are freed from constantly taking manual measurements.
- Inspections of hotel venues accelerated
With digital data, inspections can be made quickly and with much less cost to event owners who cannot come to the hotel or want to see the spaces from abroad.
- Thanks to the BIM model, the cost of construction processes has been reduced
Many required stages were solved much faster and more economically by using the BIM model.
Surveyhands has put our infrastructure under spotlight with state-of-art technology. Without actually visiting our property, our guests and partners can digitally walk around the hotel without being physically in the property. They can also take measurements of the locations. That’s very efficient and time-saving. I recommend every operator who wants to showcase its property especially during pandemic period in which travel is bound with restrictions.
