3D laser scanning is a efficient and accurate method of collecting spatial data of a environment that traditional survey techniques cannot match. 3D laser scanners collect up to 2 million individual colored point per second each with a x, y, and z coordinate. These millions to trillions of individual points form a data format known as a point cloud. A point cloud is the least processed data type from 3D laser scanning. From a point cloud data such as 3D CAD models, BIM models, 2D documentation, etc can be created. As a number of clients prefer to generate their own products from a point cloud we can provide cleaned registered point clouds in any point cloud file type especially for applications such as digital twin. In instances where the client does not have enough manpower or experience to convert a point cloud into CAD data we offer a variety of services to generate such products.

For larger terrestrial 3D laser scanning projects we employ a total station to establish survey control points using checkered and sphere targets to achieve the greatest accuracy possible. Using a total station to establish survey control points allows us to much more accurately register large scan data by taking advantage of the considerably more accurate angular and range accuracy of a total station compared to a terrestrial 3D laser scanner. In turn, using a total station with terrestrial 3D laser scanners allows us to correct for any drift in measurement data that may occur in large terrestrial 3D laser scanning projects.
