The late Gothic Albrechtsburg castle, located above the Elbe river valley, is a historical treasure from the 15th century and is considered the oldest German castle. In order to preserve the authenticity of this cultural heritage, it was crucial to precisely plan the restoration of its floors – which were in a rather poor condition.
Renovating the parquet in such a historic environment requires precision and careful planning. Traditional measurement methods would be time-consuming and involve the risk of error. Our colleagues from Parquetaria Hirschfelder faced a series of challenges related to the precision of measurements.
Angela Martin, an expert in digital surveying, was hired to create a detailed 3D visualization of the space. Using the innovative Flexijet 3D technology with an automated surface scanning feature, Angela was able to accurately determine the height differences of the existing floor and determine the locations of the heating niches.
