3D Laser Scanning becoming a new Normal
As the AEC and industrial market is evolving, incorporating BIM and CAD into their day-to-day operations, an emerging technology has been rising behind the scenes. Forward thinking CAD drafters, engineers and architects have recently been adopting laser scanning tools to provide highly detailed mapping and As-Built 3D infrastructure to improve operational coordination.
The uptake of these technologies by the AEC and industrial sectors is not coincidental, but, rather, it has been spurred by industry norms and practices that require modern civil engineering projects to be managed by more comprehensive, data-driven insights which are beyond the scope of traditional surveying.
Ontario’s Inevitable Paradigm Shift
In fact, due to this inevitable paradigm shift, the basis of any sound and modern planning techniques has left architects and engineers no longer content with just using 2D representations in their designs. This is because of the lack of spatial details, which can easily lead to planning errors (which could cause millions of dollars in loses). Planning errors can be avoided with 3D laser scanning services – similar to laser scanning services, proposed by iSCANO.
This calls for the adoption of laser scanning analytical tools with unparalleled precision. These tools have been used in geographic information systems (GIS) to produce a digital elevation model (DEM) for 3D mapping in major engineering projects across the world. This means using 3D laser scanning LiDAR data (Light imaging Detection and Ranging) is not new in engineering, but rather, its practical applications have been evolving into the AEC and industrial market. This is where iSCANO comes in.
Laser Scanning Services in Ontario
iSCANO is a 3D laser scanning service company from Waterloo, Ontario that provides point cloud data across the Ontario market. We want to make it possible for all organizations to optimize installations with critical assets and As-Built infrastructure to facilitate industry 4.0.
As AEC and industrial best practices are evolving, so do iSCANO’s services. Working with big brands, iSCANO has tailored its services by industry. While 3D laser scanners are an essential tool in today’s operating environment, the tailoring of its services are sector dependent. For example, iSCANO provides floor flatness or concrete slab flatness analysis for construction companies. When working in water treatment plants, we provide As-Built modeling for piping in order to debottleneck operations. iSCANO helps you engineer with precision and integrate with purpose. Feel free to contact our team any time.
