Volume Surveys

3D scanning allows for highly accurate volumetric surveys to be conducted in a very short amount of time—reducing costs and downtime. Moreover, as 3D scanners take millions of points per second to create a point cloud, which can be used to create a highly accurate mesh model of a scanned object, the volume of any object can be calculated in the most accurate manner. Common uses of volume surveys are to calculate the volume/calibration of above-ground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, terrains, stockpiles, ship ballasts, and ship fuel tanks.
