Westlake provided 3D laser scanning of the exterior of Providence St. Vincent Medical Center’s main tower building. The hospital, which was built in the 1960s and early 1970s, was due for an upgrade and needed to meet modern seismic codes to be ready in the event a major earthquake.

Our team provided a laser scan to help support Andersen Construction with the installation of a curtain wall on the exterior of the 9-story building. The new curtain wall façade was installed 3 feet from the existing concrete walls with spacing brackets holding the new façade in place. Laser scanning helped determine precise distances between the original concrete walls, which were uneven, and the new façade for the fabrication of the installation brackets and façade panels.
