Mapping difficult inaccessible areas, modelling complex installations and determining the
exact measurements of buildings and installations are just a few examples of the many
possibilities. With laser scanning all these types of measurements can be carried out
efficiently and with exact precision.
With the aid of a laser scanner great advantages are obtained on projects. Objects are
registered completely detailing accurate and reliable information. At a safe distance
dangerous or inaccessible areas can be measured reflectorless causing minimal disruption
to traffic. Additional information from the data set can be delivered quickly and designs
can be visualized directly into an existing situation. Moreover laser scanning is cost
effective due to higher productivity, shorter production stops of industrial installations
and minimising the amount of traffic safety measures.
Fugro is able to deliver an exact geometrical point cloud that can be elaborated on by the
client's specialist and put into a CAD model. Fugro also has experienced in-house specialists
available who can process all the necessary information from the point cloud into tailor made
products. This information can be delivered digitally in various digital formats including
AutoCAD or MicroStation files. In using these programmes the data can then be managed in the
usual way. The laser data itself is stored permanently.
Fugro has used the laser scanner for a wide variety of projects such as in architecture,
infrastructure and the onshore/offshore industry. Fugro supports the whole process of data
collection from project definition to delivery and report. Laser scanning can be especially
applied in combination with traditional data collection techniques in order to optimise efficiency.
