WHAT IS 3D LASER SCANNING?

3D laser scanning is a process that uses lasers to capture millions of detailed points of a building, structure or site. These lasers, which pulse hundreds of thousands of times per second, give incredibly accurate measurements between points, creating a 3D collection of XYZ coordinates known as a ‘point cloud’. Specialist software then converts this data into comprehensive 3D models.

BENEFITS WHEN USING 3D LASER SCANNING

• Enables generation of 3D models from point cloud data
• Provides accurate as-built information
• Enables safer surveying practices in hazardous environments, e.g. Rail infrastructure & Motorways
• Reduces surveying field time
• Reduces surveying costs in comparison to traditional methods
• Improves surveying processes and work flows
• Provides high resolution images and data
