Brunel Surveys - 3d Laser Scanning

Always on the lookout for ways to improve the service offered to our clients we have recently started using a piece of equipment we first looked at some years ago, but which we found did not live up to expectations.

Technology has moved on somewhat over the last five years and we are now excited to be able to offer laser scanning as a fast, accurate method of producing 3d data for a variety of projects.

Producing building plans and elevations is the natural use for this technology, but we are aiming to use it for so much more.
The technology is now at the stage where scanners can be used to draw whole streets, in colour, very rapidly. Coupling this with the modelling and rendering capabilities of the latest 3d software will enable us to produce accurate models for planning applications that can be viewed from any position and can accommodate camera fly-throughs.

The use of this equipment goes beyond even that. As it is non-contact it can be used to capture data of very sensitive items – archaeological and historical artefacts, listed buildings, quarry analysis, engineering structures etc,.
