The point cloud, comprising billions of points, allowed them to create as-built floor plans and sections, giving the building owners remote access to the digital assets using any standard web browser on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone through NavVis IVION.

The Koppelpoort gateway is part of the second ramparts of Amersfoort and was constructed between 1380 and 1450. It is a unique and significant historical site in the Netherlands as it was used to regulate the flow of water from the River Eem into the city center and to admit or stop travelers via its combined gate.
