As part of its ongoing dedication to advanced technologies, GEOD offers 3D laser scanning services. One of the benefits of laser scanning over traditional surveying methods is that the level of detail captured by laser scanning is much greater. For example, most topographical surveys collected with GPS usually give a single point with an XYZ coordinate anywhere from 10 - 50 feet apart. Laser scanning gives point coordinates at a spacing down to less than an inch apart! Obtaining a highly accurate as-built model of the project site at the time of the scan reduces the need for additional site visits to obtain more data. And, when site accessibility or dangerous conditions are concerns, laser scanning provides a safer method of data collection.
