Terrestrial 3D laser scanning

AeroSurvey surveys buildings, interiors and technical assets. We deliver structured 3D point clouds for alterations, refurbishment and further CAD and BIM processing.

Digital existing-building surveys

Digital capture of interiors and complex structures

Terrestrial scanning for existing-condition data

Ground-based scanners capture visible surfaces from multiple positions. Registered scans represent rooms, building elements and installations. Scope, access and detail are agreed beforehand.

Terrestrial 3D scanning

We survey interiors, basements, attics, stairwells and technical assets. The point cloud records captured conditions and supports specialist design work.

Professional survey systems

Depending on the task, we use Leica BLK360, Leica RTC360 or XGRIDS systems. Method, accuracy and verification are selected for the asset and intended data use.

Typical applications

  • Surveys for alterations and refurbishment
  • Interior measurements where plans are missing or outdated
  • Industrial and technical documentation
  • Inputs for Scan-to-BIM
  • Complementing drone surveys

Your deliverables

We deliver registered point clouds, for example in E57, LAS or LAZ. Coordinate reference, detail and additional analysis are agreed. 3D models and CAD/BIM processing are defined as separate scope.

Terrestrial scanning and drone surveying

Terrestrial scanning captures interiors and accessible details. Drone surveying adds roofs, façades and outdoor areas. Concealed or inaccessible areas are discussed beforehand.

Service scope

We deliver measurements and agreed processing. Specialist assessment is undertaken by architects, engineers or surveyors. Structural assessments and expert reports are not part of data capture.

Answers to your key questions

  • What is a terrestrial 3D scan?

    A ground-based laser scanner measures visible surfaces. Scans from multiple positions are combined into a spatial point cloud for documentation, models and further analysis.

  • How accurate is a laser scan?

    Accuracy depends on the system, distance, surfaces and scan registration. Target accuracy and verification are agreed before the project starts.

  • How long does scanning take?

    Duration depends on area, room layout, access and detail. Capture and processing schedules are agreed from your site information.

  • Can interior and exterior data be combined?

    Yes. Interior scans and drone data can be combined with an agreed coordinate reference. We define the capture method for each area beforehand.

  • Which formats do you deliver?

    For example, E57, LAS or LAZ. Models and further CAD or BIM processing are agreed separately. Tell us your target software and intended use.
