Key Applications of 3D Scanning in Civil Engineering

Scan-based reverse engineering and metrology software offers a broad spectrum of applications in civil engineering and construction, enhancing processes throughout every phase of a project.

Bridges and Tunnels often undergo maintenance, renovation and repair projects where 3D scanning is essential.

Roads and Highways  are ideal candidates for mobile 3D scanning because of how time-consuming it can be to monitor thousands of miles of surface using manual collection methods.

Industry Facilities uses 3D scanning because their infrastructure often matches the size and scale of civil engineering assets, and they pose obvious safety risks to teams taking manual measurements.

General Infrastructure uses 3D scanning to capture accurate data of large structures with complex shapes or in hard to access locations.

Why 3D Scanning is essential for Civil Engineering projects

Access

Accessing large civil infrastructure directly can be challenging or even impossible, but long-range LIDAR scanners provide a safe and effective solution by capturing all necessary data from a distance.

Speed

3D scanning technology is far faster than traditional methods, enhancing efficiency and enabling teams to share data quickly.

Safety

3D scanning reduces the number of people and time spent in hazardous environments, enhancing safety in dangerous civil engineering applications.

Accuracy

3D scanners collect millions of data points with millimetre to submicron precision, producing highly accurate models that minimise human error.
