At ScanTech Surveys, we are specialists in delivering advanced 3D point cloud surveys, LiDAR surveys, and drone mapping services across Perth and Melbourne. Leveraging the latest in geospatial technology, we capture high-resolution spatial data with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency. Our services are designed to empower architects, engineers, construction firms, and government agencies with actionable insights that drive precision, safety, and informed decision-making.
What Is a 3D Point Cloud Survey?
A 3D point cloud survey is a digital representation of a physical space created by capturing millions of data points using laser scanners or LiDAR systems. Each point within the cloud contains accurate three-dimensional coordinates (X, Y, Z), which collectively recreate surfaces, shapes, and features of the surveyed environment. This data can then be processed into detailed 2D plans, 3D models, or used in Building Information Modelling (BIM) platforms.
These surveys eliminate human error and reduce time on site, providing an accurate baseline for design, construction, inspection, or renovation projects.
3D Point Cloud Survey Services in Perth
Our 3D point cloud survey services in Perth are tailored to the unique demands of Western Australia's mining, infrastructure, and development sectors. Whether documenting expansive mining sites or capturing the intricate layout of industrial facilities, our team delivers data-rich visualisations that align with engineering precision and safety requirements.
In Perth’s growing metropolitan and regional landscapes, our point cloud services support urban planning, utilities management, and structural assessments. By offering highly detailed spatial datasets, we enable stakeholders to collaborate effectively and reduce costly design conflicts.
3D Point Cloud Survey Services in Melbourne
In Melbourne, where complex commercial and heritage projects intersect, precision and data integration are essential. Our 3D point cloud surveys in Melbourne help architects, engineers, and project managers confidently manage renovation, construction, and compliance documentation. From inner-city developments to large-scale transport infrastructure, our services are built to adapt to the scope and scale of your project.
We provide fully georeferenced point cloud data that can be processed into elevation drawings, cross-sections, volumetric analyses, and clash detection simulations. These insights streamline project planning and increase long-term asset value.
What Are 3D LiDAR Surveys?
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) surveys involve using laser light pulses to measure distances between the scanner and target surfaces. These highly accurate measurements result in a 3D representation of terrain, structures, and landscapes. LiDAR is especially effective in densely vegetated areas or large-scale infrastructure projects where traditional methods fall short.
We offer mobile, airborne, and terrestrial 3D LiDAR surveys to capture complex environments from multiple angles, creating robust digital terrain models (DTMs), digital surface models (DSMs), and topographical datasets. This data is instrumental in engineering design, environmental monitoring, and asset management.
Applications of 3D LiDAR and Point Cloud Surveys
Our surveys are used across a diverse range of applications. In construction, we provide as-built verification to ensure alignment between the built environment and design specifications. For infrastructure, our LiDAR data supports road, rail, and tunnel modelling. In mining, volumetric calculations of stockpiles and pit analysis become more accurate and efficient.
In the utilities sector, we assist in corridor mapping, identifying obstructions, and mapping vegetation encroachment around power lines. Meanwhile, in heritage conservation, our scans digitally preserve structures that require precise restoration or monitoring.
Drone Mapping and Surveying in Perth
Our drone mapping and surveying services in Perth bring a new dimension to aerial data collection. Equipped with high-resolution cameras and LiDAR payloads, our drones capture orthophotos, elevation models, and 3D surface maps with speed and precision. This is particularly advantageous for large, inaccessible, or hazardous areas such as mine sites, construction zones, or rugged terrains.
Drone surveys reduce the need for ground crews, lowering operational risks and significantly cutting costs. The data collected is processed into georeferenced 3D models and maps, which can be used in CAD, GIS, and BIM software environments for design and planning.
