Tone works

Thread Architects worked with InView Assets and Historic England to produce a high-resolution 3D roof model of a nationally important building at risk in Wellington, Somerset.

About Thread Architects

Thread are a female team of specialist conservation architects, who tackle complex building restoration projects.

Often utilising and honouring historic techniques, Thread work to bring lost buildings back from the brink. Thread are based in Wellington, Somerset and deliver full architectural services – design development of new design, conservation proposals and detailed and bespoke specifications.

Their Challenge​

The Tone Works Mill in Wellington, Somerset was one of two sites in the area and was part of the woolen manufacturing ’empire’ of Fox Brothers & Co. now reinvented and relocated in the town of Wellington itself.

The historic ToneWorks site in Wellington has received a £20 million boost to aid with restoration efforts – part of the leveling-up fund.  The work is also being partly funded by Historic England.

The first stage in the restoration is to restore the roof – this is where out 3D technology helps various stakeholders see the current condition, plan the repairs and work out how extisting materials can be reused.  All from the simplicity of a cloud-based 3D model from our partners at Trendspek

Outcomes

3D precision reality model of data using over 1,0000 high-resolution images were securely delivered to the client on-time and on-budget

Cost-effective, quicker and safer way of producing tender information compared to utilising traditional mobile-access platforms and ground-based survey data

Cloud-based outputs were easily shared with different stakeholders (reducing the carbon footprint of visits).

Enabled planning for future spending and sustainable materials re-use using an evidence-based approach
