Engineering Surveys

PointSCAN delivers highly accurate engineering laser scanning and dimensional control surveys for infrastructure, utilities, and fabrication environments. Our 3D data capture ensures precise spatial validation of components, pipework, and structural systems for fabrication and maintenance.

Using industry-leading FARO Focus technology, we create fully registered point clouds that support modelling, as-built verification, and reverse engineering. The resulting outputs integrate directly into AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and other design platforms.

Whether surveying industrial plants, energy facilities, or complex service networks, we provide engineers with dependable measurement data to inform safe, efficient, and compliant project delivery.

What is intrinsically safe 3D laser scanning?

What Is Intrinsically Safe 3D Laser Scanning? Industrial environments such as water and wastewater treatment works, chemical processing plants, fuel storage terminals and marine infrastructure often contain areas where explosive gases or vapours may be present. Within these environments even a small electrical spark or excessive heat from electronic equipment can create an ignition source […]
