3D laser scanning hardware
For many as built and topographic detail surveys, laser scanners have already proven to significantly reduce field labour to as little as one-fifth of that of traditional methods for many projects of the following nature:
Infrastructure - extends the benefits of safe, cost-effective road surveys from urban and multi-lane roads and intersections to 2-lane roads and intersections.
Sites - producing topographic surveys of small sites and sites up to hundreds of hectare cuts initial survey costs and reduces site re-visits.
Buildings - both small and tall buildings can be cost-effectively surveyed, both inside and out. Digital photos can be overlaid for added realism.
Full Field-of-view - one of its four fundamental total station features; the full dome field-of-view lets users capture overhead, vertical, horizontal, and sub-level geometry with equal ease.
Survey-grade dual-axis (Tilt) Compensation - users can set up control, traverse, resection facilities and even stakeout and direct to points.
Survey-grade accuracy - accommodates laser scanning survey-grade accuracy for each point. Ultra-fine scanning with a small beam at long range also enables optimal project control and registration.
Excellent range - ScanStation 2's detection range (300m @ 90 % reflectivity) is highly accurate, has a small beam and uses ultra fine scanning combining for a 'useful range' that addresses many typical sites.
Another great benefit is that objects and surfaces can be accurately defined instantaneously without having to shut sites down for measurement access. Field labour is also reduced as sites can be scoped from a safe distance and in a safe position.
