Laser scanning is a widely applicable technology for a number of industries. However, adoption in the architecture, engineering and construction sector is comparatively incipient and the potential benefits have not yet been fully exploited during project execution and for the operations and maintenance of existing assets. With the increase in technological advances in 3D laser scanning and BIM, the architecture, engineering and construction industry is experiencing a new scientific and technological revolution comparable to the introduction of CAD. The 3D laser scanner allows us to measure any complex construction, regardless of the stage in which the project is located, and when integrated with BIM allows to significantly improve the quality inspection and acceptance levels of a project.

​

In addition to saving time and money to perform the same tasks with traditional methods, 3D scanning offers decision makers a revolutionary tool to assess existing conditions, evaluate construction progress, conduct structural and cultural assessments, record the built conditions and manage large asset portfolios. In many ways, 3D scanning establishes a solid basis for the overall improvement of information management in projects and asset management programs.

The key areas of application:

• Fast mapping and real scale modeling,

• Infrastructure asset management,

• Site monitoring and evaluation

• Structural analysis and inspection.
