In the past, comprehensive site analysis used to mean lots of paperwork, and hours spent going over measurements to get a reliable answer. Modern systems however are faster, more efficient, and intuitive than past methods. Integrating 3D scanning and GPR (ground-penetrating radar) systems can give engineers and site assessors more practical answers with more accuracy. It can provide a more comprehensive understanding of a site for construction and engineering projects.
Integrating 3D Scanning and GPR for Comprehensive Site Analysis
What is 3D Scanning?
3D Scanning uses radar and other technologies to provide accurate, instant measurements for your site. It allows for the creation of detailed digital models of a construction site. Point cloud data is used to create a 3D bim model of the site.
Instead of relying on time-consuming methods, 3d scanning provides accessible and immediate results. Something that used to take weeks or months can now be done in minutes.
What is GPR?
GPR is short for ground-penetrating radar. This technique uses advanced equipment to scan for what’s happening under the soil or buried in or under a concrete slab. It has a 99.8 accuracy rating for concrete scanning, utilities locating, and subsurface investigations.
GPR is considered one of the most effective non-destructive methods to scan concrete and identify hidden objects. It is done before cutting, coring, or drilling to prevent damage.
Older site assessment methods might have needed physical excavation and a lot of time. GPR saves you the effort – and provides a top-down landscape topography.
With GPR, you know exactly what the soil underneath consists of and what to expect. Discover if there are hidden dangers or potential concerns to your building site. Rest assured that potential hazards are no longer hidden from plain sight.
GPR reveals instantly everything you need to know for site assessment.
Expose Vulnerabilities and Find Weaknesses With 3D Scanning and GPR
Site assessment requires accuracy. A building site must be certified as safe before proceeding. This includes landscaping and actual building.
3D scanning and GPR allow you to expose any site vulnerabilities. You can find potential weaknesses that might be associated with the building site.
The end of 3D scanning and GPR should give you a full, clear scope of what you have to work with. The scan data aids you in making any adjustments or changes.
Flawless Results
There should be no room for a single error regarding site assessments. Any potential errors can lead to severe delays (or even serious dangers) associated with a continuing build.
GPR and 3D scanning yields perfect, flawless results. Radar scanning shows a complete picture of the site, including any possible concerns you should know about.
Can you afford to make a mistake? Chances are you’re far better off switching to modern tech.
Modern Equipment
Not everyone is equipped for advanced site assessment. However, equipment rental (and often the expert advice to accompany it) is possible from several established companies.
Don’t have access to GPR? Contact a local surveying company that does.
Finding a Scanning Expert
If nobody at your company is a 3D scanning expert, there’s no reason to give up on the potential technology. The good news is that you can hire an experienced surveying company in your area to aid your team. This can sometimes be combined with equipment rental.
The Power of Digital Imagery
Imagine that 3D scanning and GPR grid scanning are the spectrography tools of landscaping and site assessment. The power of digital imagery gives customers a clear representation of the site, with each element as finely defined as spectrography does to chemical composition.
Thanks to the benefit of digital files, customers can also browse through the imagery and share it with clients.
The Advantages of Scanning
Scanning and GPR provide quicker, more accurate results than manual site assessment. GPR digs deep into the landscape to find potential dangers, flaws, and variations in minutes instead of days.
Clients can count on the virtues of digital imagery and deep-scanning techniques. This allows site assessors to provide immediate answers and continue with a build that’s well done.
