3D LIDAR Scanning of the project site

Leveraging digital collaboration

In today's world, remote collaboration can yield incredible benefits, allowing partners in different parts of the world to work together quickly and fluidly, and at great value to the client.

However, for virtual work on construction projects, it is necessary to have a clear starting point to make certain that the design that we come up with fits into the reality of the building site.

We do this by visiting your proposed work site, and scanning it by use of LIDAR technology and photographic overlays. Thereby we create a virtual reference model of the site, which is anchored to the physical world by GPS as well as existing surveying reference points.

This allows us to build a complete design proposal in 3D BIM software which is situated directly in the terrain model, while at the same time taking into consideration the existing features at the site, such as trees, buildings, terrain etc.

Use case: Integrate trees

The integration of trees into aviary design has traditionally been a big challenge. Options include pruning or removal of trees, or to make improvised on-site solutions to make the aviary components fit the trees. However, in our opinions, the preservation of trees should be a high priority as it can drastically enrich the lives of the animals in the enclosure - And trees are worth preserving in their own right. Oftentimes, conservation orders on trees also prohibit removal. Our approach of scanning the work site enables us to determine with great precision the position of trees, and thereby handle the integration of trees in the planning phase, instead of during the installation phase. This translates to better technical solutions, cleaner design, and not least, no expensive surprises during the installation work.
