Advantages of Terrestrial laser Scanning:

Faster results
Better quality results
Less ambiguity - more complete
Higher level-of-detail
Safer data capture
Unobtrusive data capture
Point clouds can be conveniently used & reviewed by others for more efficient management of projects.

There are many applications for terrestrial laser scanning. Some of which include: -3D visualisations and modelling / coastal monitoring / slope stability / powerlines-for tower structural analysis and geometry, vegetation clearance, sub-stations and more / highway surveys (with almost no traffic management) / building elevations / structures - bridges, dams etc / railway infrastructure / mines and quarries / volumes / industrial and process plant / refineries / oil ang gas rigs / forensics - accident and crime scenes.

Sometimes called High Definition Surveying ( HDS ) or ground based Lidar, this technology can create 3 dimensional 'point clouds' of thousands of data points which are collected in a matter of minutes.

This point cloud can be used to create the more familiar products that most of our clients are used to working with, such as detailed elevations, 2D topographical plans or sections.

In addition, 3D computer models and fly throughs can also be produced. As a non-contact or 'remote' instrument, site access may only be required once and it may be possible to avoid hazardous areas.
