  • Mobile and terrestrial laser scanning plus drone photogrammetry, verified to within ⅛ inch of survey data

  • Utilized confined-space laser scanning, potholing, tracing wire, and GPR to map existing utility routing

  • Reliable existing elevations to coordinate sky bridge connections between the new tower and existing buildings

  • Identified size and routing of underground utilities, surfacing conflicts with structural design and reducing future construction risk

  • Laser scanning before and after demolition for modeling and coordinating MEPF systems, structure, supports, and accurately place equipment ISO center for layout.

  • Field-verified conditions supporting added cath lab work awarded by another GC

  • Siteline in-house shop drawings tied to verified existing structural conditions

  • Self-performed unistrut and miscellaneous metals for equipment-hanging systems

El Camino Health - Imaging Renovation

Existing Conditions Capture · Point Cloud · 360° Images

Siteline documented existing conditions across El Camino Health’s imaging department, including four imaging suites slated for equipment replacement, capturing precise point cloud data and Cupix 360° imagery. Construction teams received accurate as-is building data to support coordination throughout the project.

  • Full laser scan of existing structure and MEPF systems

  • Point cloud delivered in Revit/IFC for design coordination

  • Cupix 360° imagery captured above and below ceiling

  • After-hours scanning to minimize disruption to active imaging areas

  • Existing-conditions scanning and modeling enabled early coordination, allowing HCAI ACDs to be submitted before construction started and helping reduce the project schedule

El Camino Health - Women’s Hospital

Above-Ceiling Scanning · Point Cloud · Existing Conditions Models

Siteline captured above-ceiling existing conditions across active labor and delivery, patient recovery, and NICU areas while the hospital remained fully operational, delivering point cloud data and existing conditions models for structural and MEP coordination before construction.

  • Above-ceiling laser scanning across active labor & delivery, patient recovery, and NICU areas

  • Coordinated around patient care and strict NICU infection-control requirements with no disruption to operations

  • Adapted capture for congested spaces, phased access, and catwalk-only overhead conditions

  • Expanded coverage with phased capture and a custom solution for hard-to-reach areas

Point cloud cross-section of the Women’s Hospital documents above-ceiling structural and MEP conditions across multiple floors while the facility remained fully operational.
Mobile scanning through the NICU was performed in full PPE, meeting strict infection-control requirements without disrupting patient care.
A custom solution reached catwalk-only overhead spaces to document congested existing conditions in hard-to-access areas.

John Muir Health - Walnut Creek

Laser Scanning · Existing Conditions Model

Siteline supported John Muir Health’s Phase 2 RACS program at the Walnut Creek hospital, where critical care departments were being relocated to areas meeting structural requirements. Two crews captured 98,467 square feet across four levels and eight active hospital departments — including all patient rooms — in a single day.

  • Completed below-ceiling laser scanning and an existing conditions model for the architect, with detailed pre-planning and ICRA protocols in active clinical and patient care areas

  • Built a model foundation for space planning and future above-ceiling investigation, with targeted scanning to support structural, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection coordination

  • Delivered the design team an accurate existing conditions model to support early planning, department redistribution, and phased decision-making before construction

UC Davis Health – Imaging Replacement

Laser Scanning · 360° Images · Rebar Scanning

Siteline supported the renovation of three adjacent imaging suites in an active hospital, keeping two rooms operational, clean, and accessible throughout construction while documenting congested above-ceiling systems and embedded deck elements needed for new equipment coordination.

  • Night work sequenced to an hour-by-hour, ICRA-informed phasing plan, with temporary barriers maintaining dust control and imaging room access

  • Laser scanning, 360° imagery, and rebar scanning integrated into one model documenting structure, MEPF, rebar mats, and embedded conduits

  • Imaging operations stayed uninterrupted — no reported issues with room access, equipment availability, or hospital workflows

  • Clearer existing-conditions data gave the structural engineer and architect confidence for coring around rebar and conduits

Rebar scanning located mats and embedded conduits, supporting confident coring decisions in tight above-ceiling areas.
Federated point cloud and 3D model document existing structure, MEPF, rebar mats, and embedded conduits across the three imaging suites.

MarinHealth - RACS Pavilion Renovation

Existing Conditions Capture · Laser Scanning · 360° Images

Siteline captured existing conditions early in schematic design to support RACS & SPC/NPC upgrades to an older acute care pavilion. Services included documenting the public lobby, all of level 1, basement, crawl space, OR recovery, and the elevator shaft inside an active hospital.

  • Laser scanning across above-ceiling, basement, crawl-space, and utility-heavy areas to map routings affecting phasing and equipment installation.

  • OR recovery room and elevator shaft captured under strict ICRA infection and dust-control including negative air, tarping, sealing, and cleanup during overnight shifts.

  • Owner, architect, engineer, and design-assist trades able to design from current conditions instead of outdated or missing documentation.

  • Utility routing, grease waste line options, and elevator-shaft out-of-plumb conditions identified early, reducing constructability risk.
