3D laser scanning in construction

3D laser scanning offers many benefits in construction, serving to improve precision, efficiency and safety. Some of its main advantages include:

Accuracy and detail:

3D laser scanning makes it possible to obtain very precise and detailed data about construction sites and their surroundings. This helps to ensure high accuracy of measurement and provides detailed information about the shape, size and structure of sites.

Speed and efficiency:

3D laser scanning is faster and more efficient compared to traditional measurement methods. Laser scanning can be accomplished very quickly, saving time in comparison to traditional data gathering techniques.

Documentation of construction sites:

3D laser scanning makes it possible to create precise 3D models of existing construction sites. These models can serve as valuable documentation, making it easier to manage and maintain building projects.

Acquisition of quality information:

Laser scanning makes it possible to obtain versatile information about construction sites, including deformations therein, and the condition of their structures. This is useful both for new buildings and in the process of management of existing buildings.

Support for design and engineering analysis:

3D laser scanning offers support in engineering analysis and design. It helps in identifying potential risks, accurately planning building projects, and optimising engineering solutions. Modern point cloud viewing tools make it possible to make and view simple measurements without even being present on the site.

Savings and efficiency in supervision:

Laser scanning can also be useful in the construction supervision process, making it possible to monitor the progress and quality of construction with high accuracy and speed. Using modern point cloud viewing tools, construction supervision activities can be performed remotely.

Example: 

We performed 3D laser scanning to compare actually-built concrete elements with what was shown in the project documentation. The customer ascertained that the current situation was in conformity with the project documentation, and it was possible to start the next stage of construction, the building of partition walls.
