3D Laser Scanning

The relatively new technology of 3D Laser Scanning is a non-contact technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light. 3D laser scanners create ‘point clouds’ of data from the surface of an object. In other words, 3D laser scanning is a way to capture a physical object’s exact size and shape.

Using either our Leica P40 scanner or our FARO X 130 3D scanner enables us to record information from site accurately and quickly and in a format that can easily be transferred into design drawings.

Our specialist team of experienced surveyors are able to capture data at a rate of up to 1 million points per second, as a result measurements can be made quickly and easily without return visits to site.

We currently offer the use of the laser scanner for various different services:

• Detailed measured building surveys
• Street scene elevation surveys
• Highway surveys
• As-Built surveys
• Monitoring
• Heritage scanning for posterity
• Inaccessible and hazardous locations

We can present the data to you in the following formats:

• 2D drawings (Elevations, Cross Sections, Floor Plans)
• Point Cloud
• 3D Model
• BIM / Revit Models
