Know Every Detail of Your Property through 3D Laser Scanning Service

Posted by Calvada on November 5th, 2014

There are many different types of land surveying processes used to determine land boundaries, corner locations, subsurface features, and other important measurements of a property or a parcel of land. 3D laser scanning is one of the more advanced methods of land surveying, which utilizes a range of devices equipped with lasers that measure physical dimensions by taking and capturing millions of measurements. Data collected from the survey can then be used to create polygon meshes, otherwise called point clouds, which represent the geometry of a physical object. 3D laser scanning is a relatively modern technology used in a wide range of professions and in many industry applications such as in archeology, dentistry, urban topography, and mining. 3D laser scanning is of great value in land surveying because of its range, speed, and precision.

All these benefits can only be realized if you use quality 3D laser scanning services from highly trained surveyors. Choose a company that has years of experience in the land surveying business and has worked in various types of projects, including similar types of properties as the land or area you want surveyed. Only trained and experienced surveyors can accurately and rapidly measure buildings and structures, with their knowledge of various strategies and techniques in using advanced technologies.

Choose a land surveying service that has access to the most advanced and reliable tools, including the best 3D graphics software that has the ability to create accurate and realistic digital renderings. Among the greatest benefits of advanced 3D surveying and scanning services is their ability to record precise measurements of buildings and properties, and render them just as accurately. This type of technology is very advantageous for preserving old buildings as well as reconstructing different types of properties that have been damaged because of fires, earthquakes, and similar types of events.

3D surveying is also very beneficial for different developmental phases of a project, ranging from planning to initial phases of construction, upgrades, and even its final phases, easing construction processes in a great variety of ways. 3D land surveying can be used in a wide range of other applications such as creation of as-built documentation, condition and damage assessment, semi-automated modeling, data exchange with CAD platforms, clash or interference checking, creating 2D plans, creating 3D CAD models, aiding in land inspections, deformation analysis, and other property planning and development applications.
