Terrestrial LIDAR - 3D Laser Scanning

Laser scanning creates an organized, highly accurate, digital representation of a subject quickly and efficiently. This new and emerging technology allows for the 3D digital acquisition of objects in the form of geo-referenced and geometrically correct point clouds. These clouds can then be reconstructed to give them a surface, and rendered with colors or images added to give a realistic texture to the 3D model. The accuracy of the laser together with the precision of high resolution images makes laser scanning surveys realistic and complete. The uses of Laser scanning technology are endless. Real world environments, people, equipment and items are captured in 3D exactly as they are. 3D laser scanning technology can provide a detailed spatial representation of particularly complex objects, in unreachable and inaccessible survey locations. Particularly useful in the survey of cultural artefacts and historical sites and buildings, and in situations which would be otherwise difficult to research.

The raw point cloud data acquired can be used

To automatically obtain plane sections and generate plans and section views as well as axonometric projections and 3D models;

  • To produce high resolution Digital Terrain Models (DTM);
  • To automatically identify surfaces (meshes), volume, contours, break lines and aspect ratio;
  • For environmental, structural, infrastructural and archaeological monitoring;
  • To easily integrate the surveys with topography and photogrammetry; To navigate virtually;
  • To simulate possible solutions, changes and alterations to brightness and color;
  • For conservation and deterioration analysis.

With regard to Laser scanning surveys MFORCE Surveying can also provide

  • All types of topographical surveys
  • Temporary traffic management when scanning on roads
  • Made to measure tools by CNC turning experts from our workshop and personalized preparation of the Laser scanning support vehicle according to specific needs
  • Preparation of survey locations (excavator, chain saw, etc.) that would otherwise be inaccessible.

Building Information
Modeling (BIM)


The future of CAD is intelligent drawings. BIM (Building Information Modeling) offers engineers and architects CAD drawings with intelligence, which is easily determined during the design phase. Existing structures with little or no design and/or as built information offer a difficult situation. Existing conditions must be gathered. Scanning offers the BIM modeler the CAD portion of the BIM model and a step in the right direction with the high definition color imagery. The combination of the modeled point cloud, imagery and site visit allows construction professionals, engineers and architects to create BIM’s of existing conditions. BIM’s are no longer just for the design phase. With 3D laser scanning any existing building or structure can be accurately modeled with BIM.

MFORCE Surveying, PSC assists the construction, operations, and estimating departments with different types of services including Building Information Modeling (BIM),Computer Aided Design (CAD) ,and logistics.
