3D Laser Scanning

What is 3D Laser Scanning?

3D laser scanning (LiDAR) is a technology where a laser scanner generates millions of measured points in 3D space, creating a so-called point cloud. The result is a highly accurate digital replica of the real object: a building, industrial installation, historic monument or open terrain.

Applications

• As-Built documentation — capturing the current state of existing buildings for renovation, restoration, interior refurbishment, asset management or baseline measurements;
• Scan-to-BIM — converting the point cloud into a BIM information model (see BIM services);
• Heritage conservation — no tape measures or hand-drawn sketches, precise documentation of facades, roofs, interiors and monuments;
• Industrial facilities — pipelines, pressure vessels, production lines;
• Construction quality control — comparison of as-built vs. design (deviation analysis).

Accuracy and equipment

We work with terrestrial laser scanners with accuracy up to ±2 mm at 10 m distance. Scans are registered in a unified coordinate system and georeferenced using geodetic control points. We deliver point clouds in RCP, E57, LAS and XYZ formats.

Deliverables

From the scanning you receive: registered point cloud, metric plans and sections, 3D model, orthophoto images of facades and more — ready for use in AutoCAD, Revit, BricsCAD.
