Discover Oakridge Park
The Oakridge Park redevelopment represents one of the most structurally complex and capital-intensive infrastructure projects in the history of British Columbia. Characterized by intricate geometric profiles, aggressive construction sequencing, and zero-tolerance interfaces, the development tested the technical capabilities of every premium trade involved.
XYZ 3D Mapping was retained to provide definitive spatial verification across the project’s most critical structural pathways. Our scope of work encompassed the high-precision laser scanning and point cloud processing of complex exterior window facades, heavy structural steel frameworks, and highly challenging curved glazing assemblies.
Deploying flagship Trimble terrestrial scanning systems, our technical teams established an uncompromised empirical baseline, capturing millimeter-level deviations across these high-tolerance components. By delivering survey-grade as-builts and high-fidelity 3D models under stringent project timelines, XYZ 3D Mapping successfully mitigated dimensional risk, prevented cascading fabrication clashes, and provided the critical spatial clarity necessary to execute a project of this unprecedented scale and budget.

The curved and multi-planar glazing assemblies at Oakridge Park represent a structural threshold where traditional surveying fails and the tolerance for geometric variance is effectively zero. Because high-performance architectural glass cannot be modified on-site, a single millimeter of radius deviation across these complex facades can cause structural binding, localized stress concentrations, or catastrophic failure of the building envelope’s weather seal. To mitigate this risk, XYZ 3D Mapping deployed flagship Trimble systems to capture the structural concrete and steel anchor points with a sub-millimeter point accuracy of $1.0\text{ mm}$ at 10 meters. By extracting high-density point clouds and executing predictive fit-analysis against the theoretical design models, our technical teams mapped out-of-plumb deviations and structural deflections prior to glass manufacturing—eliminating field re-work, insulating the glazing schedule from costly fabrication errors, and ensuring absolute structural integration on British Columbia’s most complex facade system.
