Mapmatic operate a fleet of equipment to gather measured data in the 3D environment. The most definitive method of capturing this is 3D Laser Scanning. Utilising Leica’s HDS range for their speed, accuracy and quality of data we roll this technology out daily to many of our sites around the UK.
Laser scanners capture data on line of sight, recording millions of points in a single 360 degree turn, this point cloud information can be viewed and manipulated back at the office where we can issue it to our clients for a wide spectrum of uses.
This extremely powerful method of data capture must be combined with a solid understanding of traditional survey methods to provide the end user with confidence in the quality of the end product.
To date we’ve been involved in many projects from small dwellings to city centres, stunning detailed buildings, heritage sites, bridges, culverts, weirs and even a newly laid drag racing track.
