3D Laser Scanning

Terrestrial laser scanning captures millions of points to create millimetre-rich digital twins. Perfect for factories, heritage buildings, bridges and plants where tape measures fail and shutdown time is expensive.

What you receive

  • Registered point cloud (E57/RCP)
  • 3D mesh + walkthrough
  • 2D plans/sections from scan
  • BIM-ready models on request
  • Deformation / clash analysis

How we work

  1. 1
    Scan planning
    Agree level of detail, control network and access/safety for live sites.
  2. 2
    Field scanning
    Multiple setups with targets/spheres, photography overlay for colour clouds.
  3. 3
    Registration + cleaning
    Tight registration, noise removal and control check.
  4. 4
    Modelling + issue
    Plans, sections, meshes or Revit models with accuracy statement.

Common questions — 3D Laser Scanning

How accurate is laser scanning?

Typically 2-5mm at short range with proper control — ideal for as-builts, clash detection and fabrication.

Can you scan a live factory?

Yes, fast non-contact scanning minimises disruption. We plan around operations and safety files.

What do I get?

Point cloud + viewer, 2D drawings extracted from scan, and optional BIM/Revit model.
