3D laser scanning/visualisation

Laser scanning is a process by which surfaces are scanned rasterwise with a laser beam in order to represent them three-dimensionally. Modern scanners measure up to 900.000 points a second and also store RGB colours for each point as well. A huge mass of points like this enables the scanned surface to be represented like a picture and surveyed. The advantage of laser scanning lies in its rapidity. With very little expense of effort on site very complex surfaces, such as facades, dams and power stations, can be recorded. The actual survey is then done at the office. We call this “surveying at a distance.” Scanned data can be retained as secured evidence and then, if necessary, evaluated. We supply you with this modern technology.

Also air-assisted laser scanning is part of our repertoire. For this the laser scanner is installed in an aircraft or a helicopter. In this field we collaborate with our longstanding partners who specialise in this technique and operate in numerous fields, from industrial surveying through open-cast mining to building research.
