Purchase of Leica RTC360 3D Laser Scanner

Description

Purchase of Leica RTC360 3D Laser Scanner Background 1.1. As part of the conservation project of HMS Victory there will be a significant increase in the requirement to record the ship accurately in 3D. 1.1.1. The laser scanner will be used to capture the ship and its elements as they become exposed, throughout the conservation project. 1.1.2. The resulting point cloud will be modelled, to augment our existing model, to record changes made, both externally and internally. 1.1.3. The data is required to be accurate to millimetric precision to create a record of the conservation work to the ship, for future generations and also to be compatible with the existing 3D model. 1.1.4. We completed our own research and also consulted with a professional survey company and we have decided that the Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner will be most suitable for our needs. 1.1.5. We have had previous 3D laser scans completed using Leica instruments and software and want all of our files to be compatible with each other. 1.1.6. We own Leica software and total stations, so we are familiar with the Leica interface. Objective 2.1. After research and consulting industry professionals, it was agreed that a Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner is required, which will meet the requirement to be able to record the data for modelling changes to the ship, as well as positioning the resulting point cloud using GPS capability. 2.2. Outright purchase of the scanner is required, with the total price given in the tender cost breakdown. Additional items may be required, if available. These additional items are also to be priced separately within the tender cost breakdown: • A programme compatible with the laser scanner, such as Leica Cyclone REGISTER full version programme; • Warranties that cover damage / replacement; • Maintenance packages that cover calibration and servicing.
