MARINE LASER SCANNING SPECIALISTS
Why Choose Marine Laser Scanning?
Marine environments are often challenging to access, measure and document using traditional surveying methods. Laser scanning provides a fast, non-invasive solution, capturing complex structures and environments with exceptional accuracy whilst reducing time spent on site.
From quaysides and docks to vessels, bridges and coastal infrastructure, our surveys generate comprehensive point cloud data that can be transformed into CAD drawings, BIM models, 3D visualisations and digital twins. The result is a reliable dataset that supports confident decision-making throughout the lifecycle of your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is marine laser scanning?
Marine laser scanning uses advanced LiDAR technology to capture millions of precise measurements of marine structures, vessels and coastal environments, creating an accurate 3D digital representation of the surveyed area.
What can laser scanning be used for?
Laser scanning is ideal for ports, harbours, bridges, offshore structures, vessels, coastal defences, jetties, lock gates and other marine assets requiring accurate measurement and documentation.
How accurate is laser scanning?
Modern laser scanners provide extremely high levels of accuracy, often capturing measurements within a few millimetres, depending on the project requirements and survey conditions.
What deliverables can you provide?
We can provide point clouds, CAD drawings, BIM models, 3D meshes, elevations, sections, orthographic imagery and other bespoke deliverables to suit your project.
Does laser scanning reduce time on site?
Yes. Laser scanning captures millions of measurements in a single survey, significantly reducing fieldwork compared to traditional methods while allowing additional information to be extracted later from the captured dataset.
Can laser scanning be combined with other survey methods?
Absolutely. Marine laser scanning can be combined with hydrographic surveys, drone surveys, GNSS positioning and traditional topographical surveys to create a complete picture of your marine environment.
