Frequently Asked Questions

What 3D scanning services are available in Kansas City?

Terrestrial laser scanning for survey-grade dimensional capture of process plant, structures and confined spaces; photogrammetry where surface condition and colour matter as much as dimension; and drone or UAV capture for elevated structures, tank roofs, flare stacks and anything that would otherwise need scaffold or rope access. Deliverables in Kansas City are agreed against the use case — registered point clouds, as-built models, deformation comparison, or geometry prepared for a digital twin.

What accuracy can I expect from a laser scan?

Survey-grade terrestrial scanning delivers registration accuracy in the low millimetres across a typical plant area, but the number that matters is the accuracy of the registered network rather than the single-scan specification quoted by the instrument manufacturer. Registration accuracy is reported with the deliverable, and any tolerance the downstream engineering depends on should be stated before capture rather than discovered afterwards.

What deliverable formats are provided?

Registered point clouds in LAS, E57, RCP or RCS; as-built models in Revit, IFC, AutoCAD or MicroStation at an agreed level of detail; deformation and dimensional comparison against design or a previous scan; and, where the scan feeds an integrity programme, geometry prepared for ingestion into a digital twin so inspection data can be bound to locations on the model.

How long does a scan take?

Capture is usually the short part — a typical process unit is scanned in days rather than weeks. Registration, quality control and as-built modelling take longer and scale with the level of detail requested, which is why agreeing the level of detail against the actual downstream use is the single biggest lever on both cost and schedule.

Should I scan the whole site or start smaller?

Start with the units where condition data justifies it. The most common way to overspend on reality capture is to scan an entire plant at high density before deciding what data will be attached to the geometry. On integrity programmes the constraint is almost always reconciling the corrosion monitoring location register, not capturing geometry.
