Quarries are ideal for scanning. Detailed data about cliff faces and benches can be collected safely and quickly. |
Data is captured quickly “on-site”.
Scanning can be completed quickly providing 3D coordinates and visual images. The scanner captures 1000 points per second, providing a level of detail that far exceeds conventional surveying. The precision of the scans matches or exceeds conventional surveying.
Scanning allows a “hands-off” approach.
Inaccessible or hard to reach sites can be scanned from a safe distance. Tall structures, bridges, freeways, busy intersections, building interiors and exteriors, industrial facilities, hazardous sites, and landslides can be scanned quickly and safely.
Scanning can be completed in the dark.
Freeways, intersections, tunnels, and even parking lots can be scanned at night. The nooks and crannies of building interiors can be scanned without lighting.

This historic lathe was scanned and the visual point cloud was rotated and viewed from every perspective to identify and dimension its extremities. |
Scanning produces visual results.
The results of 3D scanning are visual and immediate. In many instances, viewing the point cloud provides key data. Dimensions and scalable images can be generated directly from the point cloud.
Site inventorying is now a realistic goal.
Our scans create a database of 3D coordinates. Expanding the scope of the scanning effort can provide an inventory of site conditions for long-term planning and future projects.
- Calculating a new dimension or locating a new site feature can be accomplished by revisiting the data in the office, rather than by revisiting the site.
- As design drawings are completed, the engineer or architect can check for interferences and plan for construction.
- Site inventory data can eliminate costly retrofit work by supporting effective construction planning.
