3D/2D Scanning and Digital Recording Services
Construction documentation
From capturing precise as built measurements to creating detailed 3D models of existing structures or construction sites, SLAM-based laser scanning has proven to be a valuable tool for construction H&S file documentation and Building safety case data.
Versatility
Our mobile scanners can handle a wide variety of indoor and outdoor environments, from large, open spaces like hangers and warehouses, to narrow spaces like mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) rooms, and multi-floor spaces with staircases. Slam based laser scanners are beneficial in areas where traditional surveying methods may be challenging, hazardous or time consuming.
Portable scanning
Our scanners, also referred to as a mobile mapping system are either worn by the operative or attached to our drone. Our scanners capture data whilst we move through the environment utilising state of the art lidar scanning abilities and SLAM technology. We also offer static scanning or total station services.
Digital Asset Twins
We specialise in creating and refining digital twins that provide a real-time, interactive replica of your physical assets. Our services enable businesses to enhance operational efficiency, predict maintenance needs, and optimise performance through advanced simulations and analytics. We can seamlessly integrate data from various sources, including IoT sensors, operational data, and existing CAD models, to create a comprehensive digital representation of your physical asset. Utilising cutting-edge software and techniques to build accurate models that simulate real-world behaviours and scenarios, allowing for predictive analytics and decision support.
Scan to BIM
Our Scan to BIM solutions utilises state-of-the-art laser scanners to capture every detail of a physical site as dense point clouds. These are then converted into detailed, accurate digital models compatible with all major BIM software. This service is ideal for renovation, retrofit, and conservation projects, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions based on accurate site data. Airey Miller utilises the latest in laser scanning technology to capture detailed measurements with high accuracy.
Topographical mapping
SLAM-based laser scanning is beneficial for urban topographical mapping in areas where traditional surveying methods may be challenging, hazardous, or time-consuming. This approach enables the fast creation of detailed 2D and 3D maps and panoramic imagery that accurately represent the terrain's geometry and features, whether a street, site, building or even a decommissioned naval vessel . Based on this data, topographic maps can be generated and are valuable for a wide range of applications, including land surveying and infrastructure planning.
Our wearable 3D laser scanner, complemented by NavVis IVION, excels in measured building and land surveying, helping produce detailed contour lines and elevation models. Its SLAM algorithm ensures accuracy of up to 5 mm within a 500 sqm test area, ideal for both built environments and terrains.
The technology we use integrates seamlessly with Auto Desk and topographic mapping software, enhancing surveys with efficient yet accurate data capture. Survey control points bolster this precision, facilitating the creation of 3D models, terrain maps and topographic drawings.
