Industrial Surveying in 3D
3D Laser Scanning equipment generates accurate and measurable 3D point cloud data; enabling engineers to create as-built documents, design in 3D, perform clash detection, and plan projects efficiently. Process plant surveying and modeling made simple.
Surveying Roads and Bridges
Terrestrial LiDAR: a fast and safe way to capture as-built information needed for road and bridge design, inspection, and monitoring. Setting up the 3D Laser Scanner on the sidewalk, out of the flow of traffic allows a 360 degree scan of the intersection. After all of the scans are combined we have an accurate 3D model of the intersection. After editing the data by removing Vehicles and other traffic, we create the line work in a CAD program.
3D Surveying for Mines
Mining facilities utilize 3D laser scanning for many applications. The ability to go into a mine and scan the excavation and then import a CAD model of the structure design to be built shows where more excavation needs to be done. Monitoring of High walls and roof structures helps to prevent slope failures and cave-ins, as well as providing changing topographical data on tailings dams for environmental reclamation and volumetric calculations.
3D Surveying for Architecture
The fine details of architecture do not escape the camera eye. Dense 3D Laser Scanning captures the stunning work of buildings, columns and other features. This attention to detail assists in replacing damaged pieces, or duplicating it onto a new unit. Creating the design line work from the point cloud and exporting it into a CAD program makes it easier for mold making or carving with CNC machining or by hand.
Scans that Look Like Photographs (but with data)
The new Intelisum Life Dimensional (LD3) Laser Scanning package combines the information of a photograph with the usability of 3D point cloud data. This is a snapshot of real LD3 data. The software integrates Laser scanner points or LiDAR, with the photograph from the Intellisum Camera, by attaching the pixel information to the LiDAR data making it possible to measure from the Photograph. Small Features such as cracks in walls, breaks or chips in window sills or other data that might not be visible in the LiDAR points alone.
3D Surveys for Virtual Tours
The real-estate market utilizes on-line tours of buildings for sale. These are usually photographs that have been stitched together. 3D Laser scanning offers the ability for a client to view the real 3D dimensions of the buildings that they are interested in, as well as some of its surroundings; like flower beds, signage, awnings. 3D Laser scanning assists in asset documentation for insurance purposes as well.

3D Scanning for Remodeling, Historical Preservation or Demolition
Larger structures, such as concert halls, theaters, auditoriums, and plazas can be scanned in a matter of hours, versus days with traditional survey techniques. This allows the creation of 3D CAD models and accurate or 2D as-built drawings for remodeling, rehabilitation, additions, or historical preservation prior to demolition.
3D Surveying for Archaeology
The Leica ScanStation; in action scanning the cells of the pueblo of an archaeological site; a great place for 3D laser scanning, and the resulting point cloud. Scanning allows each new discovery and documenting the location in the dig as soon as they are found. 3D Laser Scanning can create a solid foundation for an archeological model builder to reconstruct the site as it would have existed when it was new.
