Laser Scanning and Survey

What makes laser scanning highly popular is the fact that it offers all the advantages of traditional surveying methods at a fraction of the cost. Laser surveying offers mainly 3 benefits compared to the traditional method. It shortens the surveying process, requires less materials of the surveyor and it provides data to clients, which can be repurposed without the help of the surveyor. The data appears as a “point cloud” which accurately represents the surface of the physical objects scanned. The laser captures exact size and shape and converts real world objects into 3D digital representation which can be further converted into Solid models, Polygon mesh models, Surface models, CAD models using various softwares that can be easily edited to customize your plans as required.

In modern engineering, Laser scanning is a highly versatile 3D scanning solution for a broad variety of applications such as complex plant environments, buidings and infrastructure, architectural and heritage sites, accident and forensic scenes and many more. Laser scanning is preferred nowadays by various organisations for the sheer simplicity it brings to the surveying process. Engineering and Construction sector are considered as two industries where laser scanning has had a huge impact in which spatial data gathering is a daily necessity. This is evident,especially in oil and gas industry, where all the planning/surveying of pipelines, is done by laser scanning.

3D LASER SCAN OF ANCIENT TEMPLE - A CASE STUDY

Heritage is our pride. Preserving cultural heritage sites have been a great challenge across the globe. Laser scanning technology is the best and efficient approach to survey historical monuments. Tech27 Systems was tasked with the 3D documentation of a 2000 year old temple, which is one of the 108 great Siva temples in the world. The temple is housed in a compound wall with an extent of 3¼ acres of land in a square shape, with a 50 feet high flag mast, rounded walls with murals and sculptures. Due to its historic importance and age, the structure was fragile, intricate and required a very careful surveying approach. Due to long term exposure to the environment, the murals and artwork had developed hairline cracks and high moisture content. No direct contact was allowed, but the surveying output required millimeter accuracy.

Tech27 provided a turnkey solution that included laser survey, data processing, 3D modelling and 2D detail drawings as per the client’s requirement. A long range laser Scanner with a range of up to 120 meters and a 360° x 305° field of view was used. A scanning rate of 976,000 points per second and accuracy up to +/-2mm was achieved. The shape, position and spatial locations of objects are recorded by millions of points, each with a latitude, longitude and elevation coordinate. After a few days, 36 colour scans were obtained to produce a detailed, 3D data set of the entire temple. Inaccessible and dark areas posed no complications, due to the scanners self-illuminating infrared laser and remote flash control. The scanner’s compact design allowed them to work among the pillars of the temple, and the tripod ensured setup times were quick and easy. Once the scans had been aligned and cleaned, multiple software programs were used to create interactive models. Every level of detail is now viewable, from different sculpture works and even inscriptions on the inner roof pillars 360°

• Produced detailed 3D models and walkthroughs of the monument.
• Inaccessible areas with poor lighting were surveyed and documented.
• Sculptures, murals, and intricate structures were scanned to a high accuracy.
• Structural deformations were highlighted.
• Large datasets were optimised and made easily accessible.
• 2D drawings of elevations, plans and sections were created.
• Availability of as-build data decreased the number of site visits and costs.
• Improved conservation and intervention activities.

Underground Utility Mapping using GPR

Just as in a modern city, there are confusions occurring below the ground too. Power, telephone, fiber optic cables, water, waste water drains and sewer pipes makes the things a little clumsy beneath the earth. Installation of new utilities makes the issue even more complicating. Excavating and encountering buried utilities may lead to costly delays and financial or other penalties. This may also lead to disruption of services, which causes the risk of injury and loss of life to workers. Taking the necessary precautions is the only way to avoid such accidents at work sites. Before starting excavation, detection of buried utilities holds much importance in this aspect.

Contractors need to put an effort to locate the buried utilities before commencing their work because it affects the planned excavation and construction activities later. Utility tracking services like Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services prove helpful for contractors, especially in oil and gas sectors. The maps available with them could be incomplete, inaccurate, or sometimes the utilities may have been added, removed or relocated without notice. So, it is advisable for excavating contractors to engage themselves in services of well qualified, experienced and equipped utility surveyors and utility mapping services. It is possible to locate the buried utilities of metallic and non-metallic pipes and cables using modern methods and technologies like electromagnetic detectors, radio detection and ground penetrating radar systems (GPRS).A combination of traditional survey techniques, GPS and geographical information systems (GIS) software can be used to map these utilities effectively. Tech27 is a leading service provider in underground utility mapping. Our comprehensive underground utility surveys combine the techniques of Radio Frequency Location and Ground Penetrating Radar to detect and map all metal pipes, plastic pipes, foul and surface drainage systems, electricity cables, telecoms and fibre optic cables. Final survey results are presented in the form of a CAD drawing with all underground information accurately recorded on to a topographical survey plan.
