Kansas City MRF Documentation: A Digital Record for Remote Electrical Coordination
The Project
A national recycling facility in Kansas City required detailed as-built documentation to support ongoing upgrades and electrical system planning. Waste Management engaged OAR to deliver a 3D model and point cloud of the facility, enabling precise remote coordination and minimizing on-site disruptions.
Dense equipment. Outdated documentation. Costly rework.
The client faced frequent delays and misalignments during previous system installations, often caused by incomplete or outdated documentation of existing conditions. With dense equipment layouts and extensive electrical systems, the absence of reliable data was driving up project costs and increasing rework.
Scan once. Coordinate remotely from a verified model.
Full-Facility Reality Capture
OAR captured the facility’s current state using 3D laser scanning, generating an accurate point cloud across the full equipment and electrical footprint.
Scan to BIM — Mechanical & Electrical Modeling
OAR built a detailed Revit model of the space, including mechanical and electrical layouts, translating the point cloud into a coordinated reference the client’s engineers and VDC teams could work from directly.
Remote Coordination Deliverables
OAR delivered the Revit model, a registered point cloud, and a Navisworks NWD file, empowering engineers and VDC teams to coordinate remotely, take accurate measurements, and avoid clashes without additional site visits.
Two months ahead of schedule. Seven figures in cost avoided.
Revit model — mechanical and electrical layouts
Registered point cloud — full facility capture
Navisworks NWD file — for remote coordination and clash review
