High Definition Surveying - The Latest Land Surveying Technology |
||||
|
High Definition Survey (HDS) is becoming a requisite industry standard for land surveying projects. Historically, the costs involved with these surveys were very high, limiting its use to only larger projects. |

High-Definition Land Surveying (Laser Scanning), also known as 3D Laser Scanning, is a terrestrial laser-imaging system that creates highly accurate three-dimensional images of land objects, for use in standard computer-aided design software packages. This powerful technology not only allows performing traditional land surveying services more quickly and accurately, but also opens up new ways of providing value to our clients. It provides accurate 3D as-built drawings that can save countless hours and money for design projects.
3D High-Definition Surveying or High Definition Laser Scanning is capable of solving even the most complex of land surveying and engineering problems. This state of the art technology allows for accurate measurements from places that were previously impossible or too dangerous to measure. The high definition scan and digital photo images that are produced provide a greater level of confidence in the accuracy and comprehensiveness of a project. This data can produce measurements and imagery that will absolutely amaze people. By starting with superior field measurements, clients can expect a superior design and the risk of design error is dramatically reduced. HDS or 3D laser scanning survey provides an unobtrusive method to obtain highly accurate as-built information of any indoor or outdoor man-made or natural structure quickly and efficiently, under any lighting conditions and regardless of site conditions, often in as little as a few hours.
High Definition Land Surveying: How Does It Work?
High-Definition Surveying or 3D laser scanning survey is an innovative tool that simply put, takes the guess work out of obtaining as-built documentation. High Definition Survey is the ability to gather data faster and at a high level of accuracy from a safe distance on objects that were previously considered unattainable or inaccessible by conventional methods. The data is acquired by a small laser beam that sweeps across a specific object and picks up millions of points with XYZ values. The accumulation of these points, form a point cloud, which can be viewed and navigated like a 3D image. Information from the scanner can be easily converted to AutoCAD MicroStation, and many other formats.
A high definition scan can be utilized for many different purposes. If one has the need for complex measurements in any type of land project, a high definition scan may be able to help. Please feel free to contact a specialist in high definition scanning for more information or a demonstration.
The benefits of utilizing High-Definition Surveying or 3D laser scanning:
• Provides more accurate and more detailed as-built drawings over information obtained from manual measurements and outdated or incomplete previous As-Built Drawings.
• Accurate as-built drawings translate directly into reduced project costs through the reduction of construction reworks and construction delays.
• Prevents schedule delays by reducing data collection time for obtaining as-built information.
• Safer data capture - all information can be captured safely from the ground without the need for safety harnesses.
• Eliminates costly "return visits" to a project site.
• Reduces facility downtime as a result of the unobtrusive data capture and reduced field construction time.
• The rapid collection of detailed, accurate 3D data, of an entire scene.
• Extra visual confidence in data.
• Use of scanned data for future needs, without going back to the site.
• Higher accuracy.
• Higher confidence in the results.
• Improved safety during data capture.
• Lower costs.
