Due to the tight tolerances demanded within industrial plant environments, the accuracy of information is essential. All our surveys are carried out utilising precise total station instrumentation for survey control. Our workflows both in the field and post-processing ensure that the results achieved in scan registration are within tolerance.
Some clients utilise point clouds as a reference so they are able to work in a hybrid (cloud-CAD) environment, for clients who are not familiar with point clouds we offer cloud to CAD conversion.
For industry purposes, we also offer reverse engineering services.
Benefits of 3d laser scanning:
Complexity
Full capture of geometry for complex and organic shapes.
Accuracy
Accuracy that previously could not be achieved by single point measurement.
Ease of Sharing
Data can be easily shared and reviewed by all stakeholders (see TruView product).
Perfection
Lower risk of design error (see clash detection product).
Access
Data can be captured remotely, safely and non-intrusively.
Time and cost savings
Efficiencies gained by less time on site. Multiple production staff can access the dataset concurrently shortening project timeframes.
Multiple Products
Single scan datasets can be utilised to create a variety individual products. The same data set could produce both 2D elevation drawing, a 3D topographical survey or DTM.
Data Drawdown
Relevant products can be extracted from the scan data through the course of a project, or as funds become available without the need for costly revisits to the site. E.g. basic planning elevations can be enhanced to full architectural detail once planning is granted.
