3D Laser Scanning Survey
Surveying Services
3D Laser Scanning
A modern surveying technology for collecting large volumes of engineering and spatial data with high accuracy in a short time, transforming captured information into a 3D Point Cloud that represents the actual site condition and supports measurement, design, modeling and analysis.
Accurate 3D Documentation of Existing Conditions
High-density spatial data for measurement, design and modeling
3D Laser Scanning captures millions of points from surfaces and existing elements and converts them into a dense Point Cloud representing the actual geometry and existing condition of the site with high accuracy.
The technology enables detailed documentation of buildings, structures, factories and engineering sites, with the ability to extract dimensions, elevations, facades, sections, drawings and 3D models based on the actual data collected from the site.
When required, the survey data can be connected to the approved project coordinate and elevation network using Total Station and GNSS / GPS, ensuring compatibility with the project's surveying and engineering reference system.

A Comprehensive 3D Database of Existing Site Conditions
3D Laser Scanning provides a high-capacity method for collecting large volumes of spatial data in a short time while preserving detailed engineering information. The captured data can be revisited and measured later without repeating the complete field survey.
A comprehensive Point Cloud also reduces the need for repeated site visits and provides design, construction and consulting teams with a realistic database of the actual site condition that can support multiple stages of the project.
