📡 3D LiDAR Scanning

High-Definition Accuracy for Complex Environments

Global Land Surveying offers 3D LiDAR scanning to capture precise, high-density spatial data for projects that require exceptional detail and accuracy. Using advanced laser scanning technology, we generate millions of data points—known as a point cloud—to create accurate 3D representations of buildings, terrain, and infrastructure.

This non-invasive method is ideal for capturing environments that are large, complex, or difficult to measure with traditional surveying tools. Whether you’re preserving historical structures, performing structural assessments, or modeling existing conditions, 3D LiDAR scanning offers unmatched precision.

🔍 What Is LiDAR?

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses to measure distances between the scanner and surrounding surfaces. The result is a detailed 3D map of a space—accurate down to millimeters.

🛠️ Applications of 3D Scanning:

  • As-built documentation for commercial or industrial structures

  • Existing condition models for design and renovation projects

  • Structural analysis and deformation monitoring

  • Historic preservation and restoration

  • Clash detection in BIM environments

  • Site capture for hard-to-reach or hazardous areas

🧠 Why Use 3D LiDAR?

  • Captures millions of data points in minutes

  • Reduces field time and minimizes rework

  • Provides rich data for CAD, BIM, and 3D modeling

  • Increases safety by limiting time in high-risk environments

  • Supports better coordination between teams and disciplines

🚀 Deliverables Can Include:

  • Registered point clouds

  • 2D drawings or floorplans

  • 3D mesh or surface models

  • Revit, AutoCAD, or Civil 3D-compatible files
