3D Laser Scanning Services

As-built documentation is an accurate set of record drawings for a project. They reflect all changes made during the construction process and show the exact dimensions, geometry, and location of all building elements and infrastructure.

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method used to generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape of an object and its surface characteristics. 3D laser scanners utilize LiDAR technology to precisely capture the three-dimensional data of a structure or site. LiDAR operates by emitting light as a pulsed laser to measure distances to a target. When these laser pulses bounce back to the scanner, the distances are recorded, mapping the spatial geometry of the area. This process collects millions of measurement points, each with x, y, and z coordinates, forming what is known as a point cloud.

Terrestrial laser scanning uses a tripod-based laser scanner to capture highly accurate data on buildings, structures, equipment, utilities, and processes to plan for construction, renovation, and modifications. Terrestrial laser scanning is a non-contact and non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using laser light. In addition, it can capture digital photos of the same area being scanned, which can be used to create photorealistic 3D models.

A building information model (BIM) is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure project. BIM stores all the information about a building's life cycle in one place, including design, construction, and operational data, which can be used for planning, renovation, and maintenance. It provides accurate spatial relationships and manufacturer details, as well as geographic information and other pertinent aspects of the building.
