3D Laser Scanning

Laser scanning technology offers the ultimate method of recording an entire structure or quantifying specific details within that structure. Laser scanning is now our first method of choice for collecting structure details.

When a structure is scanned both externally and internally, the resulting 3D model offers not only infinite viewpoint options, but with suitable software, will enable numerous investigation, design and reporting possibilities.

Laser Scanning Technology

The technology works by emitting laser light and measuring the time it takes for the light to bounce back after hitting a surface. This process captures millions of data points rapidly, creating a highly detailed “point cloud” representation of the scanned area. This point cloud can then be used to generate precise 3D models of the scanned structure, offering a level of detail and accuracy far beyond traditional surveying methods.

The integration of 3D laser scanning data with other technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) further enhances its utility, making it an indispensable tool in modern construction and design processes.

3D Laser Scanning Surveys FAQs

3D Laser Scanning is a technology that captures the exact size and shape of physical objects or environments by emitting laser light and measuring the time it takes for the light to bounce back after hitting a surface. This process rapidly collects millions of data points, creating a highly detailed “point cloud” representation of the scanned area.

A topographical survey maps the natural and man-made features of a land area, including elevations, contours, trees, buildings, and roads. It provides a comprehensive representation of the site’s physical characteristics, aiding in design and planning processes.

3D Laser Scanning is utilised across various industries, including:

  • Architecture and Construction: For as-built surveys, renovation planning, and quality control.
  • Engineering: To create precise models for analysis and design.
  • Heritage Conservation: Documenting historical sites and structures.

Manufacturing: Reverse engineering and quality inspection.
