St. Ives Gold Mine – Laser Scan & Fabrication of Handrails

An expansive space that will straddle LA’s famed Wilshire Boulevard, the project will feature 110,000 square feet of gallery space in one single level to display and present art in a non-hierarchical, egalitarian way. As part of the new building, Clark will construct a new theater, education spaces, three restaurants, a museum shop, multi-purpose event spaces, and ancillary and back-of-house facilities.

The California Building for the Permanent Collection is slated to open to the public in 2024.

St. Ives Gold Mine – Laser Scan & Fabrication of Handrails

At MINING MART, we took on the job of replacing a massive stretch of handrails at St. Ives Gold Mine, which had copped a fair bit of wear and tear over time.

How We Got It Sorted

  • Laser Scanning & Data Processing: First up, we laser-scanned the entire area, making sure to capture every detail needed for the job. The point cloud data was then processed and shared with the client for review.
  • 3D Design & Approval: Using the point cloud as a base, we developed the handrail design, keeping it aligned with site conditions. Once the 3D model was ready, we sent it off and got client approval.
  • Fabrication Drawings & Assembly Breakdown: While the existing site had no spliced handrails, we split them into assemblies for ease of fabrication. The updated model and fabrication drawings were knocked up and delivered to the client in just two weeks.

Another top-notch job wrapped up on time, ensuring the new handrails were designed tough and built to last!
