3D laser scanning survey offer accuracy and efficiency in creating detailed 3D models.

Laser scanning is a cutting-edge technology used to capture detailed and accurate three-dimensional data of physical environments.

By emitting laser beams and measuring the time it takes for them to return after hitting an object, laser scanners create precise point clouds that represent the surfaces of structures, landscapes, and objects. This data can be processed and converted into highly detailed 3D models, maps, drawings, cross sections, and Building Information Models (BIM), fly throughs and other deliverables which can be provided in 2D or in 3D.

Invaluable for various industries, including construction, architecture, engineering, and heritage preservation, as it enables the creation of highly detailed 3D models, maps, and Building Information Models (BIM).

Our laser scanning services offer accuracy and efficiency, reducing the time and costs associated with traditional surveying methods.

FAQ

How long does a laser scan take?

This depends on the make and model of your laser scanner, and the density of the point cloud required. A typical laser scan can take anything from a few minutes to 30 minutes.

How long does it take to laser scan a typical area?

To survey an entire building or urban area, it will be complete a laser scan from multiple locations or ‘stations’, until the laser scanner has had full line of sight coverage to all of the areas of interest. How long this takes will depend on the size and complexity of the site but could range from one to several days.

Is laser scanning more efficient than traditional surveying?

Under most circumstances, laser scanning will be more efficient than using traditional methods. However, for simpler sites and rural areas, a traditional topographical survey may be more appropriate.

How much does 3D laser scanning cost?

The price of a 3D laser scanning survey depends on the size of he survey area (the number of site days) and its complexity (which dictates the amount of office based data processing and drawing required). If you require a site to be laser scanned, please contact us.
