3D Laser Scanning Survey
3D laser scanning is a revolutionary technology that captures the precise measurements of physical spaces and objects. It uses lasers to create a “point cloud,” a digital representation that forms an accurate 3D model of the surveyed area or structure. This method is essential for detailed and accurate measured surveys, whether for buildings, bridges, or other structures requiring a 3D digital twin.
What is 3D Laser Scanning?
3D laser scanning is used to capture accurate details of physical objects and environments by utilising laser measurement. This method of data collection creates a “point cloud”, which is a collection of millions of data points that represent the surface of the object or area being scanned. These data points are then processed to generate highly accurate survey drawings or 3D survey models. 3D laser scanning is widely used across various industries due to its accuracy and efficiency in data collection. It is particularly beneficial for measured building surveys, providing accurate and abundant data for architectural design, renovation, and documentation; measured surveys of bridges and structures, offering detailed information for maintenance, restoration, and structural analysis; creating digital twins, which are digital replicas of physical assets used for monitoring, maintenance, and simulation; and infrastructure and industrial plant surveys, mapping complex environments for operational planning, safety assessments and clash detection.

Project Overview
In 2022, our team conducted a topographical survey and measured building survey of the Stand United Reform Church, a stunning Grade II listed building known for its architectural grandeur dating back to 1885. The objective was clear: to create a highly accurate and detailed 3D Revit model to facilitate the church’s transformation into a versatile community space.
Utilising FARO Focus 3D Laser Scanners, we captured a complete 3D point cloud of the church’s intricate features inside and out, from the stained-glass windows to the historic organ and pulpit. This data was used to develop a 3D survey model in Revit to Level of Detail 4 (LOD 4), ensuring every architectural nuance was preserved digitally.
