The University of Melbourne faced a formidable challenge in preserving the cherished heritage facade of its Old Commerce Building while undergoing extensive construction work. To navigate this delicate balance between progress and preservation, the university turned to innovative geospatial technologies. Leveraging Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and real-time monitoring solutions, the project ensured meticulous surveillance of facade movement, enabling timely interventions to safeguard its historical integrity. This pioneering approach not only upheld the building's cultural heritage but also exemplified a commitment to sustainable development and stakeholder confidence in construction safety.
