3D LASER SCANNING SERVICES

3D LASER SCANNING SERVICES

As-built records of assets are often out of date or non-existent, laser scanning provides as-built data quickly, bringing the asset to your desktop.

State of the art laser scanners capture more than 1 million points per second and capture everything in their field of vision, 360° horizontally and vertically. Vertex Engineering own a variety of different high-spec laser scanners which can produce the laser scan data that is required for your project.

Laser scanning produces point clouds and bubble views which bring the scanned area to your desktop without the need for any site visits anymore. The data can easily be linked to a variety of design packages which allows for efficient design work in a fully 3-dimensional environment.

ARCHITECTURE
APPLICATIONS:
  • Façades inspection: 3D dimensional inspection of building shells and facade components before final assembly.
  • Scan-to-BIM: Delivering real world information into BIM models.
  • Built environment: Precise geometrical recording of existing properties as the basis for conversions or extensions.
  • Space optimization: By prior creation of 3D models.
BENEFITS:
  • Revolutionary price/performance ratio
  • Confident data quality through on-site compensation
  • Photorealistic imaging and 3D visualisation of different concepts of building use
  • Immediate processing of the data in all commonly used CAD programs
  • Simple variance comparison in the construction process and in the case of final building inspections
CONSTRUCTION
APPLICATIONS:
  • Structural analysis and maintenance: Rapid and cost effective control of the specified load-bearing capacity of supporting structures as well as wear and tear.
  • Construction progress monitoring: Seamless capture and monitoring of construction progress for legal and technical documentation.
  • Free-form components inspection: Precise dimensional check of complex components such as free-form shape elements.
  • Deformations control: Documentation of deformation processes and monitoring of countermeasures.
BENEFITS:
  • Confident data quality through on-site compensation
  • Photorealistic imaging and 3D visualisation of different concepts of building use
  • Immediate processing of the data in all commonly used CAD programs
  • Simple variance comparison in the construction process and in the case of final building inspections
REVERSE ENGINEERING
APPLICATIONS:
  • Reverse engineering: Copies of products and components for which there are no construction plans and/or CAD data available
  • Interior fixtures and fittings: Precise 3D CAD documentation of complex interiors of ships, cars or aircrafts as a basis for planning of conversions
  • Manufacturing documentation: Complete 3D documentation of the manufacturing status of complex machine components
  • Quality control: Precise 3D documentation and dimensional inspection of large and complex components such as rotor blades, turbines, ship propellers, etc.
BENEFITS:
  • Cost-efficient, quick and accurate 3D capture of as-built geometry of large products
  • Automated in-process control of production allow for comprehensive 3D inspection and monitoring of parts
  • Reduced scrap and re-work due to early and comprehensive 3D quality control
CIVIL ENGINEERING & SURVEYING
APPLICATIONS:
  • Scanning of large or distant objects: Due to the extra long range of the Focus S350 all kinds of high, long or difficult to access objects can be easily scanned and analyzed.
  • Project supervision: Whenever there are excavations, bridges, towers, open-pit mines, roads, railways, reservoirs, pipelines to be built, there is a need for close monitoring of the individual project phases to meet the project’s requirements.
  • Deformation monitoring: Determining if the surveyed structure or object is changing shape or moving. Saves time and rework during construction.
  • Large volume calculation: When measuring loose material in bulk, e.g. in barges, silos or in warehouses, large volume determination on a regular basis is an important consideration. Laser scanning allows for fast, accurate and reliable dimensional calculations.
  • Quality control: Precise laser scanning ensures that the final as-built condition fit design intent and minimizes the chance of potential problems.
BENEFITS:
  • Time-saving, rapid, simple and complete recording of the current condition of surveying or construction sites
  • Real-time, digital 3D data capture and analysis of materials, volumes, structures, topography.
  • Due to extra-long range, enhanced registration of data and rapid capturing of high resolution data increases users’ productivity
  • Precise positioning due integrated GPS
