Laser Scanning
Complete, accurate 3D records of buildings, structures and infrastructure
3D laser scanning
Capture every detail
JG Engineering provides high-precision 3D laser scanning for projects that need complete, accurate information about existing conditions. Our laser scanners record millions of measurements per scan. The scans are registered together and tied to an arbitrary or site grid, to produce precise point clouds and 3D datasets of buildings, structures, plant and infrastructure.
A single site visit captures everything in view, so we rarely need to go back to collect a missed dimension. Scanning also lets us survey complex, congested or hard-to-reach areas without contact and with minimal disruption. That makes it ideal for live sites, occupied buildings and restricted-access areas.
Applications
Typical uses for laser scanning
- As-built and measured building surveys
- Structural and deformation surveys
- Dimensional checks and verification of new construction
- Refurbishment and retrofit design
- Clash detection
- Heritage recording
- 3D and BIM modelling
Point clouds are delivered in industry-standard formats such as E57, RCP/RCS and LAS/LAZ, ready to use directly in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit and other design software. Where needed, we can also produce 2D CAD floor plans, elevations, sections and 3D models.
One joined-up record
Laser scanning alongside our other surveys
When we combine laser scanning with our drone, GNSS and total station surveys, designers, engineers and contractors work from one accurate, joined-up record of the existing site. That reduces risk, rework and uncertainty from design through to construction.

FAQs
Laser scanning questions
A laser scanner records millions of precise measurements of everything in view. Scans are registered together into a point cloud: an accurate 3D record of buildings, structures, plant and infrastructure that can be measured and modelled from.

Yes. Scanning is non-contact and quick, so we can capture complex, congested or restricted-access areas with minimal disruption to people working there.
