Learn how to quickly develop infrastructure in 3D using laser scanning technology

While the benefits of working in 3D have been well proven in most manufacturing industries, it's uptake in projects involving the design and maintenance of infrastructure is lagging considerably behind. Modelling assets in 3D can be a challenge as it requires a lot of time to manually capture the geometrical features and dimensions. A new technology has been developed which addresses this issue.

Welcome to the world of 3D terrestrial laser scanning, a technology that enables us to capture our surroundings in a '3D picture'. The technology is relevant to a large cross-section of industries including construction, oil & gas, process & power, water, FMCG, aerospace, automotive…etc. Whether you are retrofitting a building with missing blue prints, documenting as-builts or modifying a factory layout, the applications of 3D terrestrial laser scanning are endless.

Terrestrial laser scanning is a ground-based, non-contact technique for collecting high-density 3D geospatial data at high-speed. The technology lends itself to large-scale complex scanning applications in a multitude of environments, indoors or out, where health and safety issues must be considered such as cliff faces, where access is limited such as roadways and even where there is no power.

Gone are the days with hundreds of man hours spent taking physical measurements on site. The scan data generated with terrestrial laser scanning can be used by high-end 3D CAD systems to create or reverse engineer an accurate 3D representation of the actual site conditions. The reverse engineered model allows engineers and designers to complete their work, eliminating the need to re-visit the site to take measurements and can be stored for future reference.
