Construction and Civil Engineering
When working in infrastructure and civil engineering, the flow of consistent information is critical. As-built floor plans and documentation has never been as important as it is today, especially when implementing BIM workflows. The iScano team has worked in schools, hospitals, commerical spaces with office equipment, architect firms, and contractors helping them to leverage the point cloud data generated by reality capture technologies (such as LiDAR, 3D Laser Scanning and photogrammetry). When embedding digital twins and digital information in your workflow this translates to reduction of downtime, overall cost and minimizing errors.
Architecture
iScano has worked with several architectural company across North American. From scanning one of the oldest buildings in New York City to working with the City of Toronto, the iScano team is able to adapt its 3D laser scanning data into the clients workflow. Our top priority to enable our architectural clients to streamline the point cloud data and generate the high-quality deliverable for them to begin their work such as an as-built floorplan, a RCP, a revit/BIM model and so much more.

What is 3D laser scanning in construction?
3D Laser scanning in construction is also known as high-definition surveying or LiDAR Scanning. This is when an operator is using a 3D laser scanning to develop point cloud data to generate some kind of usable deliverable. Commonly an as-built floorplan, a 3D BIM or Revit model, a surface analysis or anything that is a computable output from the dataset. Also, the 3D laser scanner can easily combine surveyor data (coordinates) and embed it into its workflow.
What is 3D Scanning (LiDAR)?
LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. LiDAR is the dataset that is shot from a 3D laser scanning device. The device that generates LiDAR usually produces either laser pulses or infrared wave which is record in the device. Once the unit is recording the LiDAR information is later translated into a point cloud which can used in a CAD. Therefore, 3D scanning and LiDAR work hand and hand and why it is important to have proper scans on-site in order to generate the most accurate as-built CAD.
How Does 3D laser scanners work?
LiDAR sensor do not only capture and render a 3D representation of an object but they also document the position, form and behaviour of targeted object in order to generate a 3D image. Modern laser scanners generate millions of precise measuring point per seconds which translate into a point cloud data set.
