Scan to BIM/Digital Twin

At LTS our expert team of surveyors use high-definition LIDAR scanners and 3D digital modelling technology to produce our Reality Capture solution known as Scan to BIM.

The LIDAR scanners produce point cloud data that can be directly interrogated to visualise, measure, and analyse the built and natural environment.

With 3D modelling software our team convert point cloud data into Building Information Models (BIM) that play a key role in asset management and design feasibility studies, coordination, and construction.

BIM is adopted throughout the AEC industry as best practice for project team collaboration.

Having Survey data presented in BIM format allows for early integration into workflows that rely on holistic and accurate data.

The advantage of Scan to BIM methodology is the ability to record the visible environment in a digital format that has embedded geo-coordinate data. The 3D digital model created from the scan data can be developed to include content categorisation and classification in line with Project BIM Execution Plans and Client requirements.

Data-rich 3D point clouds and intelligent BIM models hold data that all stakeholders can draw from throughout the lifecycle of a project and ongoing asset management and maintenance.
