EUGENIU DE SAVOYA RUIN NO. 10, CETATE NEIGHBOURHOOD, TIMISOARA

About the Project

As a result of the purchase of the land and the building located on Eugeniu de Savoya street no. 10 from Timișoara, by a private investor, the issue of conserving, restoring or removing the ruins of an old building (over 200 years old) that were on the site was raised. Given the opportunity to carry out a complex project of conservation and consolidation of the existing ruin, the team of experts, architectural and structural designers requested the full scanning of the objective and partial scanning of the neighboring buildings, at a lower level of detail. The scan allowed to obtain precise data regarding the state of degradation of the ruin, its deformations, but also the neighboring calcanes, data related to its geometry, level elevations, etc.

About the Process

Considering the need to obtain the most accurate data, a mix between photogrammetry and laser scanning was chosen, where additional measures were taken to control the level of precision, by geo-referencing some control points, by using a total topometric station.
The steps to obtain the results involved: making a topometric survey, photogrammetric and laser scanning, geo-referencing the control points, remodeling the scanned object in the ArchiCAD design program (for use in the design process), generating orthoprojects in all areas of interest, generating of horizontal and vertical sections in .dwg vector format, drawing up a memorandum of interpretation of the data resulting from the scan.
