Existing Conditions was proud to partner with Vanasse Hangen Brustlin to complete the Lechmere Viaduct Rehabilitation project, which plans to strengthen the structure of the 110-year-old viaduct to handle heavier loads, increase train frequency, and preserve its historic facade. The Lechmere Viaduct has connected Boston and East Cambridge, Massachusetts, since its opening in 1912. We provided our 3D laser scanning services to a nonprofit community organization. We were particularly proud to work on this project as we had previously worked on significant projects nearby. The viaduct is located adjacent to Boston's Museum of Science. We desired to share our expertise and aid the community group in obtaining grant funding to enhance this iconic piece of Boston's architecture.

The Montgomery House

Using The Montgomery House, a 220-year-old building in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Existing Conditions illustrates how 3D laser scanning, point clouds, and 3D BIM models can be used in historical preservation. Existing Conditions documented approximately 5,000 square feet of the exterior, as well as the interior of the State Room at The William Montgomery House. We utilized the cutting-edge Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner to 3D laser scan in color.

The House of the Seven Gables

To aid the historical preservation plans for The House of the Seven Gables, Existing Conditions 3D laser scanned and modeled exterior shells of The Turner-Ingersoll Mansion (also known as The House of the Seven Gables), The Retire Beckett House, Hooper-Hathaway House, Nathanial Hawthorne Birthplace, Primm House, and features of the Seaside Colonial Revival Gardens. We also 3D laser scanned the Nathanial Hawthorne Birthplace basement to create a 2D floorplan to assess the challenges related to flood-proofing. Existing Conditions' as-built data will help to identify structural issues, deterioration, and other factors affecting the historical site, and deliver our client, Union Studio, 2D plans and a 3D model to develop architectural designs for restoration.
