Laser Scanning Is A Great Improvement For The Results of AS Services

By Diana M. Folsome


The introduction of laser scanning to the AS built documentation procedure makes it possible to receive more accurate details in a larger quantity that were previously available from the documentation used to provide the properties of a construction project making them now capable of surpassing previous expectations. Using the advanced technology trained technicians can now furnish precise existing conditions documentation services using cutting-edge geospatial 3D laser scanning tools.

Details for renovation projects and subsurface imaging can map the position of underground pipe systems and other utilities using laser scanning. Regardless of the location or complexity of your project these scanning solutions can simply meet your program objective and stay with your budget. Architects, engineers and contractors are now helped with the high-definition scanning that is now available and used to document unusual or complex structures successfully.

The HD systems can be successfully employed in dangerous locations without developing any safety hazards as they are capable of capturing millions of data points. This can also perform successfully for difficult to access locations. Depending upon the field conditions and nature of the project the type of HDS system to be used can be selected from a range of available choices. The high density point cloud that is produced with this procedure together with digital photo images and in conjunction with other existing conditions documentation is used to develop both 2D drawings and 3D models.

Higher quality field data that is supplied 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. It has been noted that the scanning that helps to create a 3D model can provide clash detection that assists with the effective identification and reporting of interferences which can create visual clues eliminating the probability of conflicts that could be the result of oversight and misunderstandings. Construction projects unfortunately endured conflicts prior to the development of this resource which often resulted in costly setbacks when they were discovered by the installation crews. With this new technology it is now possible to avoid conflicts with the input of architects and engineers in the virtual world without setting foot on the actual job site thanks to early detection.

AS built services can encompass floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, above ceiling plans, cross sections and elevations as a small part of the possible products. Ground penetrating radar surveys and global positioning system services are among the various products that can be provided with geospatial tools. Commercial construction as well as industrial, institutional and residential markets can benefit from these services as their projects can now be carried out more safely and more easily.
