A crucial aspect in spatial planning, refurbishment or decommissioning of a complex/dangerous structure is the safe collection of accurate spatial geo-referenced data. Laser Scanning allows the modelling of inaccessible or hazardous areas, from a safe distance, producing a detailed and accurate 3D view of the asset. Qualitative information is also obtained using the in-built high resolution digital camera which further enhances the effectiveness of the data.

By merging traditional surveying methods and this Laser Scanning technology, Star Net has successfully proven its cost effectiveness also in this market and continues operating on high-value projects.

Laser scanning is steadily replacing the age old dimensional control procedures and equipment. This new technology rapidly collects high density and accurate three dimensional data, in order to create a fully three dimensional "image" of a structure or asset.

The unobtrusiveness of laser scanning allows the surveyor to operate from a safe distance (minimising Health and Safety issues) without interrupting operations around the surveying scene. The scan data set represents an invaluable source of informative imagery thanks to its capability to represent the data in "false colours" as per different reflectivity indexes of the surveyed surfaces.

Apart from the usual 2D CAD drawing the client receives a fully detailed 3D visualisation (e.g. 3D model, Truview, Flythrough animation) of its assets enabling the individual to view the surveyed scene from visual perspectives that would not otherwise be accessible (such as aerial, oblique and sectional views).
