3D Laser Scanning

Geomatics Africa uses the latest technology in 3D laser scanning to add a new dimension to each of their projects.

The 3D survey points collected, combine together to form a point cloud that represents the surface surveyed. Point clouds can be viewed in multi-hued colours (based on signal intensity return) or true colour from a digital camera. This technique provides a solution for the rapid surveying of inaccessible surfaces or complex geometrical details. The data can be linked in 3D to your site grid and matched seamlessly with topographical survey plans, elevations and sections.
