Collect detailed 3D point clouds of tunnels for construction verification or inspection.
The challenges of 3D are clear. Each project requires the right tools – whether you’re delivering scan data of as-built conditions, performing comprehensive data analysis, or creating a renovation model based on an existing structure. 3D scanning solutions meet these challenges and quickly capture, analyze, model and produce precise deliverables.
The need for accurate (millimeter) high-density measurements for a short period of time and sometimes in very severe field conditions leads to increasing applications of laser scanning. For safety, long-term stability, and quality control in construction, you need to acquire geometric and geotechnical information about the projects. The focus is on correct determination of geometric shapes and dimensions, deformation monitoring and volume calculations.
3D technology makes possible deformation studies of rock masses in mining and tunneling. Geomechanical processes are caused and manifested in rock mass, natural or as a result of human activity, which lead to its deformation. Knowledge of these processes and monitoring deformations in time and space contributes to making adequate decisions about safety and efficiency of work in these processes.
Terrestrial laser scanning is increasingly used in tunnels and underground, becoming a powerful tool for both construction management, monitoring and timely maintenance. Technology is changing construction by providing tangible real benefits, such as reducing documentation costs and overall cycle of a work project. These systems help to create dense and high-precision spatial models, and they can be used to create:
- 3D models
- Cross sections
- Deformation monitoring
- Volume calculations
- Building Information Models (BIM)
- Planning and Design
- Renovation
- Visualization and sharing
