Laser Scanning & 3D Modelling

High precision 3D data capture using terrestrial laser scanning, UAV LiDAR & aerial photogrammetry.

Overview

Our Laser Scanning and 3D Modelling services provide accurate, high density 3D spatial data for buildings, structures, landscapes, and complex environments. Using industry leading terrestrial laser scanners, UAV mounted LiDAR systems, and photogrammetry, we generate detailed point clouds and 3D models that support design, engineering, planning, and asset management.

These advanced capture methods are ideal for projects requiring millimetre level accuracy, rapid data collection, or safe access to complex or hazardous areas.

Whether mapping a building interior, a structural façade, a heritage site, or a wide area topographical environment, we deliver dependable and visually rich 3D data tailored to your project needs.

Detailed Description

Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS)

High accuracy 3D laser scanning captures millions of measurement points per second, producing a complete 360° digital representation of your site.

Ideal for:

  • Measured building surveys
  • Structural monitoring
  • Heritage recording
  • Industrial & plant environments
  • As built verification

UAV LiDAR Surveys

Our UAV LiDAR systems provide highly accurate 3D mapping over large or inaccessible areas. LiDAR penetrates vegetation and generates precise Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), even in complex environments.

Ideal for:

  • Large scale topography
  • Corridor mapping (roads, utilities, pipelines)
  • Forestry & vegetation analysis
  • Earthworks and volume monitoring

Aerial Photogrammetry

High resolution UAV imagery is processed into textured 3D models, orthophotos, and surface models.

Ideal for:

  • Visualisation
  • Site inspection
  • Progress mapping
  • Asset documentation

3D Modelling & BIM Outputs

From point clouds, we produce:

  • Detailed 3D models
  • Revit/BIM deliverables
  • Elevations & sections
  • As built models
  • Structural & architectural features
  • Digital twins for long term asset management

All outputs can be tailored to your required level of detail (LOD) or BIM specification.

Process

1. Planning & Specification

We define the correct capture method — TLS, UAV LiDAR, photogrammetry, or a hybrid workflow — based on your accuracy and coverage requirements.

2. Data Capture

Using calibrated scanners, UAV platforms, and GNSS supported workflows, we gather high density 3D datasets.

3. Processing & Registration

Point clouds are aligned, cleaned, geo referenced, and quality checked to ensure consistency and accuracy.

4. Modelling & Deliverables

Final outputs supplied in your preferred formats:

  • LAS / LAZ
  • E57
  • XYZ
  • DWG
  • RVT
  • OBJ
  • Orthophotos & textured 3D mesh models
