3D Scanning in Pleasant Hill, CA

Pleasant Hill's scanning work divides between two very different environments. On one side is the Contra Costa Centre area around the Pleasant Hill BART station, where office buildings, structured parking, and mixed-use blocks form the densest built environment in this part of the county. Tenant improvements, garage repairs, facade work, and accessibility upgrades in that setting all need existing conditions captured completely rather than sampled, because the constraints are structural and unforgiving. On the other side is the rest of the city: postwar ranch neighborhoods where remodels, additions, and garage conversions run continuously, and the Diablo Valley College campus and the downtown commercial core, where older buildings are periodically renewed. A Trimble scanner covers both, capturing millions of survey-grade points per visit instead of the handful of dimensions a tape can produce.

Public works in Pleasant Hill is more substantial than the city's size suggests. Elevated BART trackway and station structures run through Contra Costa Centre, the Iron Horse Trail crosses Treat Boulevard on its own structure, Interstate 680 overcrossings frame the eastern edge, and the Grayson and Murderers Creek channels thread the city with culverts, headwalls, and drop structures. When we scan assets like these we observe survey control first and register everything into it, which is what turns a point cloud into a clearance survey, a structural as-built, or a deformation epoch that can be compared against a later one. Details are on our infrastructure scanning page.

Deliverables are registered point clouds in E57 or Autodesk RCP, DWG/DXF plans, sections and elevations, Revit models at LOD 200 or 300, and contours with a DTM where the ground is in scope. Record research and any resulting filings run through the Contra Costa County Recorder and County Surveyor in Martinez. See also Pleasant Hill as-built surveys and Pleasant Hill topographic surveys.
