Martin & Whitacre uses Leica's HDS 3000 Laser Scanner. We are able to register multiple scans easily into a single 3D point cloud for use in data extraction or modeling.

Laser Scanning can be used for engineering, construction, and operations/maintenance activities in the civil/survey and manufacturing plant markets. It can also be used for architectural, virtual reality, heritage preservation and forensic applications.

Some specific uses are:

  • Site & engineering surveys
  • As-builts of plants & facilities
  • Profiles, volumes, area calculations
  • Topo and detail surveys
  • Fabrication & construction inspection
  • Quantity surveys
  • Conceptual design & interference checking
  • Manufacturing & reverse engineering
  • Historical & legal archive
