3-D Laser Scanning

Tools we use on HD-3D Laser Scanning Jobs
We use a Leica P40 3D laser Scanning Survey System. The P40 is a high-speed, high-accuracy laser scanner with a 360 x 270 degree field of view. The laser technology can scan any interior or exterior man-made or natural structure. Any area within it’s field of view will be created into a raw data set in the form of a 3-D image, which is made-up of millions of points of data, called a 3-D Point Cloud. Every two points of the 3D cloud provides direct point-to-point measurements within AutoCad.
The 3D point cloud can be used with software to view, pan, zoom and rotate in 3D.

Why use a Licensed Surveyor to scan?
- Fully Insured
- Survey grade scanning control accuracy critical to your project
- We link boundary and other data to the 3D scan, including hydrographic data.
