Power Line Scanning

Laser scanning can offer several advantages over conventional survey techniques, including speed, accuracy and safety.

It can also provide some ‘hidden’ cost savings in relation to the way the work can be completed. For example, where conventional surveying may require a plant to be closed for the duration of a survey, laser scanning can often be done while the plant is operational, thus eliminating the need for work stoppages.

In addition, where conventional surveying might require health and safety precautions to protect the men in the field, laser scanning can be done from a safe distance, thus eliminating the need for costly safety procedures.

Laser scanning is particularly effective for providing fast and extremely accurate scans of large piles and deep excavations whose height or depth may be hazardous to a crew utilizing conventional survey techniques.

And, just as the laser scanning technology saves a survey technician from a potentially dangerous situation, it also saves a scan site from the potentially damaging impacts of a conventional survey crew. Laser scanning is an excellent non-invasive site investigation method that allows precious archeological sites to be surveyed from a distance. Focus’s 3D laser surveying team has used its technology and expertise to scan numerous archeological sites, providing detailed information that could not have been acquired conventionally.

The extremely detailed information gained through laser scanning can be supplied to clients directly, integrated with previous or concurrent conventional survey data, delivered as volumes and contour plots and used to create ground models, 3D models and other useful final drawings.
