Point cloud survey

3D Laser Scanning

Detailed point clouds turned into elevations, plans, sections and BIM models.

At a glance

  • Survey-grade point clouds
  • Trimble X7 & TX6
  • Geo-referenced with Trimble R10
  • CAD, BIM & model checks

Fast, clean data

The Trimble X7 captures consistent, accurate data at high speed, in bright sunlight or total darkness, with an integrated HDR camera to colour the point cloud and survey-grade self-levelling. Fewer set-ups means less time on site.

Geo-located point clouds

Ground control from our Trimble R10 GNSS puts every scan in real-world coordinates, ready to combine with topographic and drone data.

Deliverables

  • Colour point clouds
  • CAD elevations drawn from scaled orthographic images
  • Floor, ceiling and roof plans, and sections
  • 3D meshes and BIM models
  • Model verification – as-built scan compared against the design model
