Water & Wastewater 3D Laser Surveys

Delivering precise, high-accuracy 3D laser scanning for water and wastewater assets, providing safe, reliable data to support design, maintenance and long-term asset management.

Continuing to deliver digital innovation into AMP 8

SPECIALIST 3D LASER SURVEYS FOR TREATMENT WORKS & CRITICAL ASSETS

3D laser scanning continues to transform the way water and wastewater infrastructure is measured, recorded and managed. By capturing highly accurate on-site data and detailed 3D information, our surveys provide a clear and reliable digital foundation for design, maintenance and upgrade works across treatment facilities, pumping stations, sewer assets and confined-space environments. At PointSCAN, we work closely with designers, engineers, contractors and project teams to support AMP programme delivery, reduce risk, improve safety and ensure every stage of the project is informed by precise, dependable data.

Water & Wastewater 3D laser surveys for faster site design

Utilising Point Clouds with CAD for Faster, Smarter Design

High-resolution point clouds give your design team complete visibility of every element on site, allowing faster modelling, better coordination and fewer return visits. Whether you import the cloud into CAD and build your drawings from it, or design directly within the point cloud itself, you gain a reliable digital environment where geometry, levels and clearances can be checked instantly.

Comprehensive Documentation for Every Stage of Your Project

Alongside point clouds, CAD drawings and 3D models, our surveys are supported by detailed documentation that ensures every part of your project is clearly understood, traceable and fully recorded. From access and safety notes to dimensional checks and handover packs, we supply precise, well-structured information that strengthens decision-making and supports compliance across water and wastewater schemes.

  • PointCloud Formats – E57, RCP,LAS,PLY,PTS,OBJ
  • 2D CAD File Formats – DWG,DXF,PDF,DWF
  • 3D CAD & BIM file Formats – DWG, RVT, ICF, NWD, STP, IGES, FBX –
