High Definition Surveying (HDS)

Using Leica’s ScanStation we can capture the details of a building at chosen point spacing from 1mm upwards to create a very detailed 3D model as shown below...

High Definition Surveying (HDS) Sample Images

The ScanStation automatically tracks across the building using a time-of-flight laser to collect a 3D position for anything it comes into contact with creating highly detailed and data rich images. This is all carried out remotely and is therefore ideal for hazardous areas such as motorways or for sensitive projects. From this 3D model we can create detailed AutoCAD drawings from any view including cross sections, elevations and floor plans

This type of survey is particularly suited to buildings with a high level of intricate details such as listed properties or where a detailed record of the exact layout and design of the property is required for future reference. Because the data is stored electronically it can be accessed at any future time if new or more accurate drawings are needed.
