3D Laser Scanning

3D laser scanners are the latest tool in our arsenal. res-scan1-300w.jpgOur surveyors can efficiently collect thousands of 3D observations in a short period of time. Using a scanner can cut out costly return visits to site, due to the completeness of the datasets typically collected. Survey points can be collected at 5-10mm spacings over hundreds of metres, and higher resolutions at close range. This gives great benefits where access is difficult, dangerous or restricted. The output is in the form of a 3D point cloud for use in CAD or specialist modelling software. Point clouds can be used to produce traditional 2D plans also - floor plans, elevations, sections and even topographical data in some situations, or 3D rendered models and fly throughs. Laser scanning is particularly suitable for recording archive details of historic buildings and objects.
