Our LIDAR 3D Scanning & Mapping service represents a cutting-edge solution for precise spatial data collection and analysis.

What is LIDAR 3D Scanning & Mapping?

LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology utilises laser pulses to measure distances and generate highly accurate three-dimensional maps of landscapes, buildings, and structures. Combined with the latest Matterport camera and drone technology, our LIDAR solutions offer unparalleled precision and detail.

Accuracy of LIDAR 3D Scanning & Mapping:

The Matterport Lidar accuracy is, +20mm @10m; Depth resolution, 100 points per second 1.5M points per scan; Min operating range, 0.5m; Max operating range up to 100m. With lidars from drones, this varies depending on the sensor and the mapping accuracy used in the drone.

Benefits of LIDAR 3D Scanning & Mapping:

1. High Precision: LIDAR technology provides sub-centimetre level accuracy, allowing for precise measurement and mapping of even the most complex environments.
2. Rapid Data Collection: With the ability to capture thousands of data points per second, LIDAR 3D scanning enables swift and efficient data acquisition, reducing project timelines and costs.
3. Comprehensive Coverage: LIDAR scans provide comprehensive coverage of both interior and exterior spaces, capturing detailed information about structures, terrain, and vegetation.
4. Enhanced Visualisation: The detailed 3D models generated from LIDAR scans offer immersive visualisation, enabling stakeholders to explore and analyse environments with unprecedented realism.

Sectors Benefiting from LIDAR 3D Scanning & Mapping:

1. Construction: LIDAR scans facilitate accurate as-built documentation, construction progress monitoring, and clash detection, improving project coordination and reducing rework.
2. Urban Planning: Urban planners can use LIDAR data to analyse existing infrastructure, assess land use patterns, and optimise city layouts for sustainability and efficiency.
3. Environmental Monitoring: LIDAR technology enables precise monitoring of environmental changes, such as erosion, vegetation growth, and habitat mapping, supporting conservation efforts and land management.
4. Infrastructure Management: Utilities and transportation agencies can leverage LIDAR scans for asset management, maintenance planning, and infrastructure inspections, ensuring reliable and safe operations.

Types of Work Enabled by LIDAR 3D Scanning & Mapping:

1. Topographic Surveys: Generate accurate topographic maps for land development projects, infrastructure planning, and flood risk assessments.
2. Building Information Modelling (BIM): Integrate LIDAR data into BIM workflows to create detailed digital representations of buildings, enabling efficient design, construction, and facilities management.
3. Archaeological Surveys: Capture detailed 3D models of archaeological sites for research, preservation, and cultural heritage documentation.
4. Forensic Investigations: Utilise LIDAR scans to reconstruct crime scenes, document evidence, and analyse spatial relationships for forensic investigations.
