Reality Capture

We run the scanner.

Survey-grade LiDAR capture of buildings, plants, and infrastructure ... brought to your site by an operator with 20+ years of hands-on reality capture. Point clouds registered, cleaned, and delivered ready to model or monitor.

Equipment

The right tool for the job

Different sites demand different sensors. We carry and operate the full kit, and frankly, knowing which to use is half the value.

FARO Focus Premium Max

Long-range terrestrial laser scanning at survey-grade accuracy for plants, structures, and large interiors.

Drone & aerial LiDAR

Roofs, stacks, tall structures, and sprawling sites captured from above where a tripod can't reach.

Mobile & handheld

Walk-through capture for fast coverage of corridors, racks, and complex circulation spaces.

Deliverables

What you receive

Registered point clouds

Cleaned, registered, and coordinate-locked. Delivered in the format your downstream tools expect ... RCP/RCS, E57, LAS/LAZ.

Survey control & accuracy report

Targets, registration report, and documented tolerances so the data stands up to scrutiny.

Virtual site walk

A navigable capture of existing conditions ... revisit the site without a revisit.

Ready for the next step

Hand it to your team, hand it to ours for Scan-to-BIM, or set it as the baseline for ongoing integrity monitoring.

How it works

Scan day, start to finish

1 · Scope & plan

We confirm what the data is for ... model, as-built, or integrity baseline ... then plan scanner positions, control, and site access before we mobilize.

2 · On-site capture

We run the scanner ourselves. Static TLS for accuracy, drone where a tripod can't reach, mobile SLAM for fast coverage ... the right tool for each space.

3 · Register & QC

Scans are registered to control, cleaned, and checked against documented tolerances ... so the point cloud holds up to scrutiny.

4 · Deliver

Coordinate-locked point clouds in the formats your tools expect ... ready to model, or set as a monitoring baseline.

FAQ

Common questions

Why laser scanning instead of traditional measuring?

A scan captures millions of points of true existing conditions in minutes ... not a handful of tape measurements someone interprets later. Every wall, pipe, and elevation as-found ... so what you build next sits on reality, not assumptions.

How accurate is it?

Survey-grade ... typically within about ±2mm at the scan, registered to control. We document the tolerances in an accuracy report so the data stands up.

Do I have to shut down to be scanned?

Rarely. We capture from a safe distance and work around live operations, so most sites keep running while we scan. For plants, we can fit the capture to a turnaround window.

What do I actually receive?

Registered, coordinate-locked point clouds (RCP/RCS, E57, LAS/LAZ), an accuracy report, and a navigable virtual site walk. From there we can model it or set it as a monitoring baseline.

Tell us what needs capturing.

A building, a plant, a single asset. We'll scope the capture and turn it around fast.
