VOLUME SURVEYS
3D laser scanning enables accurate volumetric surveys to be conducted in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods, drastically reducing both costs and operational downtime. By capturing millions of data points per second, 3D laser scanners generate a dense point cloud that can be converted into an accurate 3D mesh model. From this 3D mesh model, volumes can be calculated with unparalleled precision, minimizing errors and improving overall reliability. Common applications include volume calibrations of above-ground and underground storage tanks, stockpiles, terrain, and the determination and verification of equipment volumes (such as ballast and fuel tanks). The combination of speed, accuracy, and versatility makes 3D laser scanning an indispensable tool for projects of any size requiring precise volumetric measurements.
