'Point Cloud' surveys are being used to
help design changes to Buckingham Palace for the Reservicing Programme.
The technology is being used to design lifts to make the Palace more
accessible & more efficient. Point Cloud surveys have been used to
map approximately 400 rooms and 515 metres of corridor in the Palace.
Using this technology has allowed The Royal Household to gain
information and insights into the building that we have never had
before. This will help to ensure that changes made during the
Reservicing programme will allow the Palace to function better, whilst
protecting one of the most iconic buildings in the world. A greater
understanding of the building also means that smart, cost-effective
decisions can be made before building works take place.
