In the skyline of modern cities, aluminum composite panels with their dynamic lines define the unique charm of buildings. With outstanding weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and exceptional aesthetic appeal, they have become a favored decorative choice for contemporary large-scale public buildings.

However, the installation of such curtain walls demands extremely high precision, requiring meticulous fine-tuning within the margins of millimeters, posing numerous challenges for traditional techniques. To address this technical hurdle, the Leica RTC360CN 3D laser scanning solution has pioneered a new digital pathway for precise curtain wall construction with its exceptional precision measurement capabilities.

Hub construction aluminum curtain new posture

Tonghua West Station is located in Dongchang District, Tonghua City, Jilin Province. As a regional comprehensive transportation hub, its station building project consists of three individual buildings: an elevated station building and south and north station buildings, with a total construction area of approximately 30000 square meters. The exterior facade of the station building adopts a curtain wall design combining aluminum veneer and aluminum honeycomb panels. This decoration method not only looks beautiful and atmospheric, but also needs to ensure that the production size and installation position of each board are accurate and precise, in order to achieve the dual guarantee of design intention and building safety.

Professional solutions are precise and efficient

In response to this technical requirement, the curtain wall installation team has introduced the Leica RTC360CN 3D laser scanning solution. As a leading portable 3D laser scanner in the industry, this device has an ultra high speed scanning capability of 2 million points per second and integrates VIS visual tracking technology, with outstanding advantages of flexible station setup and efficient operation. With the help of Leica Cyclone Field 360 software, technicians can view point cloud data in real-time on site, achieving rapid station integration.

Leica RTC360CN accurately captures every detail of the building outline and curtain wall keel through non-contact measurement, and generates high-density and high-precision 3D point cloud data in post-processing software. With the help of professional point cloud processing software, engineers are able to construct precise Building Information Modeling (BIM) and draw detailed design drawings based on it, thereby accurately controlling the processing dimensions and spatial positioning of each aluminum plate, ensuring perfect fit during on-site installation.

Tailored to measure, twice the result with half the effort

The introduction of Leica RTC360CN significantly optimizes the implementation process of curtain wall engineering. Its ultra-high operational efficiency and scanning accuracy significantly shorten the time for field data collection, reducing errors and rework caused by complex environments in traditional measurement methods.

Through the "tailor-made" digital prefabrication, the manpower, financial resources, and time costs invested in the production and installation of curtain walls have been significantly improved, truly achieving targeted and precise implementation, providing solid technical support for the high-quality promotion of the project.
