Laser Scan Survey

At JS Measured Surveys, we specialize in providing advanced 3D laser scanning survey services that deliver highly accurate and comprehensive data for projects across the UK. Our laser scanning technology captures the complete three-dimensional geometry of a site, ensuring that every detail is recorded with precision. This methodology is non-intrusive and virtually silent, making it ideal for a wide range of applications where minimal disruption is essential.

Efficiency and Precision in Data Capture
Laser scanning offers significant advantages over traditional surveying techniques. By recording millions of measurements per second and high-resolution 3D images, it ensures that even the most complex sites are accurately represented. This precision is especially valuable in environments where access is limited or challenging, such as in confined spaces, areas with poor lighting, or hazardous locations. With laser scanning, we can collect detailed data from the ground level, eliminating the need for scaffolding or working at height, which reduces health and safety risks.

The data captured by our high-quality FARO Focus 3D and Leica P40 Laser Scanners is processed using the latest geomatics software to generate rich point clouds. These point clouds provide an accurate, detailed foundation for producing traditional 2D CAD drawings or advanced 3D Building Information Models (BIM). This allows for a more accurate, reliable representation of the surveyed area, enabling better project planning and decision-making.

Key Applications of 3D Laser Scanning
We offer 3D laser scanning for a wide variety of survey applications across many industries, including commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Some of the key uses of laser scanning include:

• Measured Building Surveys: We capture detailed floor plans, elevations, sections, and internal elevations, providing a precise as-built record of the existing structure.

• BIM Integration: Our point cloud data can be seamlessly integrated into Building Information Modeling (BIM), ensuring accurate 3D models for further design and construction phases.

• As-Built Surveys: Capture the exact dimensions and features of an existing structure or installation, enabling accurate assessments for renovations or extensions.

• Right to Light Surveys: Determine the impact of new developments on surrounding properties and their access to natural light.

• Heritage Surveys: Provide detailed, non-intrusive surveys of heritage buildings and structures, preserving the integrity of historical sites while facilitating accurate documentation and restoration work.

• Stockpile and Volumetric Surveys: Accurately measure stockpile volumes, for example in quarries or construction sites, to assist with inventory and planning.

• Mines and Tunnel Surveys: Conduct precise surveys of underground environments, including tunnels and mines, to assess structural integrity or plan for improvements.

• Roof Surveys: Survey rooftop areas for conditions, including plant, systems, or structural assessments, reducing the need for dangerous access equipment.

Benefits of Laser Scanning
The primary advantage of 3D laser scanning is the ability to capture highly detailed data quickly and efficiently. Laser scanners can measure up to a million points per second, providing rich, dense point clouds that are ready for processing into models and drawings. With this level of detail, our clients benefit from a more accurate representation of the site or structure, which can significantly improve the design, planning, and construction processes.

Furthermore, our laser scanning service is adaptable to various environments and applications. Whether we’re surveying industrial facilities, commercial buildings, or infrastructure projects, laser scanning ensures a high level of accuracy, even in complex or hard-to-reach areas.

National Coverage and Comprehensive Service
JS Measured Surveys provides laser scanning services nationwide, offering flexibility to clients across a wide range of sectors. Whether for a new construction project, a renovation, or ongoing maintenance, our laser scanning technology is used to gather highly accurate data that forms the basis for further work. We deliver results with exceptional precision, helping clients enhance project efficiency, reduce risks, and achieve better outcomes through advanced surveying techniques.

Our team is experienced in handling large datasets, and we offer additional services for storing, managing, and visualizing the collected data, ensuring that clients can access and collaborate on survey data in real time. This makes the laser scan survey not only a tool for precise measurement but also an essential part of the broader project lifecycle.
