3d Laser Scanning Service Reduces Time As Well As Project Cost

Posted by Calvada on May 7th, 2014

Just a few years back land surveying was a big issue not only for the client but also for the surveyor. A huge manpower was required for surveying the land and the accuracy of the data was quite questionable. It would take days and even months to survey a land if the survey had to be done for road or any other public project, but today the scenario has changed and the 3D laser scanning high definition survey has taken the place of manual survey.

How 3D Laser Scanning Is Cost Effective?

3D laser scanning services may seem to be a costly affair, and it is actually quite costly as far as the machine price is concerned. However, there is a catch which makes the whole process supremely cost-effective. The process does not take months or days to complete. Just a few days or even hours are enough to conduct a full survey of the land. At the same time, the manpower requirement is quite low in such survey methods which means you are paying quite low as far as labor cost is concerned. These two things together compensate the cost of the machine, and you save a lot of money.

In 3D laser scanning, laser rays are used for measurement of land. So no matter how pathetic the condition of the land is and how irregular its shape is, you don’t need to travel through it again and again. The machine emits a laser ray, which takes the measurement of the land. A three dimensional figure of the land is constructed which shows the elevated and the low lands which ensures that you get the right idea about the land. The data can be saved on a CD, and you can always refer back to it during the process. In many states of USA, 3D laser scanning has been made mandatory and companies that perform the survey take good care that the results are accurate. The chance of a mistake is quite low in such a land surveying method, and government also encourages such services.

There are not many companies in USA that provide these tricky services. However, the best of them can be found online. These companies have their own websites to inform the people about the services. You can get a lot of details from the website and also gather their contact information in order to hire them for the land surveying.
