Laser scanning provides highly accurate field data that can be used in place of field sketches.
It is a safe, fast, and comprehensive method for collecting field data. The scans can be provided in many native formats that work well with today’s advanced CAD systems, and they can be easily incorporated into the overall 3D CAD models of an existing plant site. This provides our Clients an up to date view of the existing facility with the planned detail design changes before the first drawing is ever created.
Our field survey work procedures insure the accuracy and quality of the laser scans. All horizontal and vertical control for the laser scan are established using standard surveying techniques. Scan targets, are then located based on the completed survey traverse and level loop.
