From isolated marks to coordinated information
Traditional site markings remain valuable, but they can be lost or misunderstood as work progresses. Photogrammetry, laser measurement or survey control can place scan findings into a wider record of the wall, slab or structure.
- Stable grid and orientation
- Measured relationship to openings and structural axes
- Images linked to site references
- Clear record of confidence and investigation limits
Better demolition set-out
The project team can compare reinforcement patterns and concealed services with proposed cut lines, cores, anchors and lifting points. Conflicts are resolved in the planning stage, where changes are faster and less expensive.
- Shift openings away from tendons or critical reinforcement
- Coordinate cutting with temporary support
- Reduce repeated surveys and ambiguous handovers
- Provide a clearer basis for engineering review
Interpretation still matters
A three-dimensional presentation does not increase the physical penetration of the scanning method. Depth, congestion, moisture and material still affect results. The model should communicate uncertainty honestly and remain one input within a broader engineering decision.
Project note
Guidance is the starting point. The site determines the method.
Every structure, access route and operating environment is different. Final engineering, approvals and controls should be based on verified project information and a site-specific assessment.
