Why Use High-Definition 3D Surveying for Sydney Projects?

LiDAR (3D laser) scanners collect millions of precise measurements, storing them as point clouds – a dense collection of spatial data points. These can be edited, colourised, and exported into various formats to suit your project requirements.

Whether you’re working in CAD, BIM, or visualisation platforms, the point cloud data can be tailored to meet your specific deliverables.

Our Sydney 3D point cloud survey services are suitable for a wide range of applications, from large-scale construction projects and industrial facilities to home renovations.

Some of the advantages of our 3D surveying in Sydney include:

  • Quick and easy site data collection 
  • Minimum disruptions onsite 
  • Eliminate revisits
  • Easily detect issues and minimises risks 
  • Helps architects identify design errors 
  • Assists with assessing existing conditions
  • Real-time worksite inspections 
  • Visualize and manipulate real-world data in 3D Space

LiDAR Surveying for Site Volume and Topography

LiDAR surveying is an effective method for determining site volume and topography. By using airborne LiDAR technology, we can collect detailed data on the natural surface of a site, including vegetation, terrain, and ground elevations. This information is crucial for various purposes such as construction planning, town planning, and environmental assessments.

Sometimes, it is simply not possible to manually measure and map the construction site – a practice that a lot of the construction industry still stubbornly follows. 

Fortunately, many construction companies are slowly coming around, incorporating new technologies such as digital sensors, drone tech, cloud computing etc. to their projects. 

3D laser scanning companies in Australia and the world over now use LiDAR scanning technology to reduce onsite risks by automating the surveying process. You don’t need to send workers to walk the construction site or enter confined spaces like underground pipelines for maintenance work anymore – the 3D laser scanner gets the job done without risk to staff.

With LiDAR scanners, we can capture precise measurements and create classified point clouds that represent the site’s topographical details. These point clouds can then be transferred to a BIM (Business Information Model) where 2D images are converted into accurate 3D models.

The advantages of using aerial LiDAR surveying include its ability to provide comprehensive and detailed information about a site. It saves time and effort by quickly capturing large areas, and it helps determine the volume of the site that needs to be cleared and the equipment required. This technology enables more accurate planning and assessment, leading to improved project outcomes.
