High Definition 3D Laser Scanning
for Survey Grade Data

High Definition Scanning (HDS) involves using a stationary laser scanner to quickly capture high density, survey grade point data of existing conditions. The high volume of data points allows the user to see a true 3D representation of the existing conditions within the scanned area rather than just a node or symbol from a traditionally collected discrete point. This added completeness and visualization translate into a better final deliverable, more accurate and timely designs, and higher overall project value.

HDS scanners can collect data from up to hundreds of feet away in any direction, indoors or outdoors, without needing to physically occupy the target point. If an object can be seen, it can be scanned. This allows data collection to occur in areas that would otherwise be inaccessible using traditional survey methods without endangering any field personnel or bystanders. Buildings, bridges, towers, and cliff faces can be scanned without needing personnel with fall protection equipment; railroads and substations can be scanned from outside restricted areas; and roadways can be surveyed without requiring expensive and inconvenient lane closures.
