LASER SCANNING BASIC OUTPUTS
3D LASER SCAN
PROCESS
Area scanned with 3D laser scanner. Approximately 30-40 scans per day depending on required resolution. Scan data is registered and colourised to produce the final point cloud file.
OUTPUT
Photographic quality 3D point cloud model. Freeviewer can be used for inspection, walkthroughs, measurement.
USEFUL FOR
Internal review and training. Distribution to contractors to reduce time on site for measurement and inspection.
2D PLAN LAYOUT 'BASIC'
PROCESS
Outline of main buildings, plant and equipment are automatically generated from point cloud.
OUTPUT
Precise 'a built' basic layouts in Autocad dwg or similar.
USEFUL FOR
Documenting 'as built' layouts. Confidence that layouts are automatically generated and not subject normal dimensional errors.
2D PLAN LAYOUT 'DETAILED'
PROCESS
All pipes runs are automatically extracted from the point cloud as a 3D model. Pipe runs are then projected onto plan layout.
OUTPUT
Precise as built detailed layout in Autocad dwg. or similar. Includes all pipe runs on the layout.
USEFUL FOR
Documentation detailing pipe runs in relation to buildings in a format which can be easily printed and used in the fied during construction etc.
3D BASIC BUILDING MODEL
PROCESS
Main building walls are modelled from the plan and point cloud.
OUTPUT
3D building walls in Autocad dwg or similar. Can be exported to specific civil engineering 3D design software {eg.REVIT }
USEFUL FOR
Documentation of current building construction which can be integrated into site plan or shared with architects or civil engineers.
