Laser Scanning Is A Fantastic Contributor To The Results That Are Produced By AS Services

By Diana M. Folsome


It is now possible to achieve more accurate and additional details than were previously available from the AS built documentation that was used to provide the properties of a construction projects which have now become capable of surpassing previous expectations with the introduction of laser scanning. Precise existing conditions documentation services can now be provided by the skilled technicians who can use the cutting-edge geospatial 3D laser scanning tools with advanced technology.

The location of underground pipe systems and other utilities can now be included in detail with the use of laser scanning for subsurface imaging to create maps and furnish details for renovation projects. Regardless of the location or complexity of your project these scanning solutions can simply meet your program goal and stay with your budget. High-definition scanning is now available to successfully assist architects, engineers and contractors and is now the method of preference that is used to document unusual or complex structures.

Not only are these HD systems capable of capturing millions of data points, but they also can successfully be operated without producing any safety hazard in dangerous locations. This is also perfect for locations that are difficult to reach. A choice of HDS systems are available to work with the type picked for use dependent on the field conditions and nature of the project. Both 2D drawings and 3D models can be created from the high density point cloud that is created with this process in partnership with digital photo images and other existing conditions documentation.

Higher quality field data that is provided by the laser scanning process is used by engineers and architects to create better designs than were previously accomplished while also helping reduce any risks from the construction. A 3D model can now be created with the help of scanning to provide clash detection that can assist with identification and effective reporting of interferences through visual clues which can help eliminate the probability of conflicts and misunderstandings that could be the result of oversight without this added benefit. Construction projects unfortunately experienced conflicts prior to the development of this resource which frequently resulted in costly setbacks when they were discovered by the installation crews. With this new technology it is now possible to resolve conflicts with the input of architects and engineers in the virtual world without setting foot on the actual job site thanks to early detection.

Products including floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, above ceiling plans, elevations and cross sections are parts of the numerous possible products assessable from AS built systems. Ground penetrating radar surveys and global positioning system services are among the many products that can be created with geospatial tools. Various markets benefiting from these services include industrial, institutional, residential and commercial construction projects that can now be conducted more easily and safely.
