High definition scanning surveys are designed to ensure that, while providing a non-intrusive way to collect accurate and detailed as-built data quickly. This surveying method relies on a high-end 3D laser scanner, which uses a narrow laser beam to sweep across the land or structure to be surveyed to obtain millions of measurements or points with unique Z, Y, and X values in minutes. The measurements are gathered collated into a point cloud database, which can be accessed through a computer. Data can then be viewed, analyzed, and navigated as if it were a 3D model in a conventional CAD software.

With high definition scanning surveys, you can approach the design and building of your project more realistically. The HD survey platform uses the latest, cutting-edge technology that revolutionized the way surveyors capture data as quickly as possible. This way, HD surveys can speed up the development of your project. Likewise, the surveying method is useful in applications that require faster data-gathering, like in busy areas and highways. Hence, it provides a positive impact on your building project’s bottom line.

High definition scanning surveys is cost-effective in providing high-quality details for your building project. It delivers data that is useful for a wide range of applications, too, such as structural and site plans, foundation plans, door and window schedules, building information models, exterior and interior elevations, and spatial standards for environment-compliant GIS data, infrastructure, and facilities. The service makes data easily available to engineering, environmental, construction, and planning specialists, while ensuring worker safety. The faster results can help speed up the time of your project, too.

A high-quality HD scanning survey will depend on the equipment, skills, and expertise of the service provider. Hence, it makes sense to hire a reputable and seasoned land surveying company to do it for you. Make sure they are equipped with the latest 3D laser scanning equipment and tools, and that they have an excellent track record of providing the service to many different clients in your area.
