High Definition 3D Laser Scanning

​5 Reasons to Choose Geo Scan for Your Laser Scanning Survey

Your project deserves more than the application of technology alone, which is why our team integrates traditional surveying expertise and a client-first approach with the precision of a point cloud survey solution.

What does this mean for you, The Client?... Here are five key benefits to keep in mind:

• Your project will not be hampered by inexperienced surveyors' over-reliance on digital technology.
• Surveyors' time on your site will be minimised, saving your business or project activities from undue disruption.
• Safety risks are greatly reduced, as hazardous areas can be surveyed remotely.
• One visit to your site is typically sufficient to complete a highly accurate 3D laser scanning survey.
• Your survey outputs will be delivered quickly and free from flaws and errors.

​Customised Point Cloud Survey Services

With Geo Scan, your surveys will be completed quickly and professionally. Along with an exemplary degree of professionalism though, our surveyors and staff pride themselves on a traditionally personalised approach to client service.

We invest our resources fully in your project, while keeping your investment to a minimum. Our pricing reflects the cost savings offered by fast and accurate 3D laser scanning technology.

While a point cloud survey is fast and precise, some situations still require the application of other surveying techniques. Our team has the requisite capabilities to handle every eventuality.

​Laser Scanning Survey Types

Regardless of your project's objective, you can depend on Geo Scan to conduct a millimetre-accurate laser scanning survey. We're the go-to provider in London and surrounds for the following survey types:

• Engineering surveys
• Measured building surveys
• As-built surveys
• Building restoration/renovation
• Heritage site surveys
• Hazardous site surveys
• Building inspections 

On completion of your survey, we'll prepare and submit your deliverables in your chosen format.

Whether you need a 2D elevation drawing, raw point cloud data, or a complete scan to BIM service, we carry out all activities in-house, so you need just one point of contact for all your surveying needs.

​What is 3D Laser Scanning?

From the early stages of construction-planning, through every phase of development or redevelopment, to the surveying of busy operational facilities, 3D laser scanning captures the physical form and measurements of an area or structure as a cloud of millions of data points.

This data density enables structures to be represented in almost unimaginable detail, and perhaps more importantly, does so with significantly greater ease than traditional survey methods allow.

Even intricate architectural features like those found in many heritage buildings become straightforward to capture via 3D laser scanning equipment.

​Key Advantages of 3D Laser Scanning

For a topographical or measured building surveyor, laser-scanning capabilities mean less time in the field, a greater understanding of the area or structure, and a greatly reduced likelihood of measurement errors.

For you the client, those same capabilities translate to the following major benefits:

• Reduced risk of incidents or accidents (especially important on sites where hazards exist)
• Reduced wastage in terms of time and rework
• Lower project expenses
• Fewer site visits by your surveyor
• Improved information management
• Less disruption to your operations

Laser technology really comes into its own when surveying fragile historic structures, since the equipment eliminates disturbance at the site. Hazardous and inaccessible areas in residential or industrial buildings can be surveyed by 3D laser scanner from a position of safety to minimise risk and concerns about liability.

Real-time, Real-value Surveying

At Geo Scan, we employ our industry-leading technology to meet your measured building survey, topographical, or other land and building survey needs. Our 3D laser scanning techniques are ideal for surveying any of the following types of landmass or construction:

• Residential dwellings and developments
• Commercial developments
• Warehouses and industrial facilities
• Public and governmental buildings
• Infrastructure and civil engineering projects

Along with technology, skill, and experience, our team takes a traditionally warm and personalised approach to customer service, ensuring your experience with us is memorable not only for value, but for the care we take to support your project goals. 

We Put the "I" into BIM 

Perhaps one of the most important advantages of 3D laser scanning is its value in creating intelligent 3D business information models. At Geo Scan, we offer a full "scan-to-BIM service, beginning with a measured building survey and incorporating all the activities necessary to deliver you a completed parametric BIM.

In fact, Geo Scan is the only partner you need for all your land or building plans, models, and visualisations. From scan to delivery, we're vested in your project and measure our performance by your satisfaction.
