3D Laser Scanning
3D laser scanning is a fast, effective and accurate means of surveying building features in incredible detail.
3D laser scanning can be of great benefit to any project. Swantest are at the forefront of this cutting-edge technology and have the capability to provide this service to our clients.
Understanding 3D Laser Scanning
Swantest utilises state-of-the-art 3D laser scanning technology capable of capturing millions of data points to create precise, three-dimensional point clouds. From these, we generate highly accurate digital models, enabling us to deliver sophisticated, efficient, and cost-effective survey solutions with millimetre-level precision.
3D laser scanning is swiftly becoming the preferred alternative to traditional surveying methods, thanks to its rapid data acquisition and superior accuracy. Swantest has extensive experience applying this technology across a range of sectors, including construction, demolition, oil and gas, and beyond.
Benefits
– Remotely capture data from potentially hazardous sites, e.g. unsafe buildings, motorways.
– Fast data capture; critical on sites with limited access, e.g. lives buildings.
– Complete data capture enables further investigations to be carried out later without costly returns to the sites.
– Reduces the cost and downtime associated with construction rework, site revisits and field changes.
– Lower costs as-built and topographic survey method compared to alternatives.
– Improved accuracy and precision reduces the risks associated with project execution.
– Highly-detailed data improves decision-making and engineering designs.
– Enables factory fabrication, as opposed to field fabrication.
– Enables 3D Modelling and Building Information Modelling (BIM).
