ABOUT US

ABOUT

RapidScans is a provider of survey services specialising in 3D laser scanning. 

3D laser scanning, also referred to as 'high definition surveying', is a method of analysing, capturing and processing data from structures or environments utilising 3D laser scanning technology.

 

The result is a collection of millions of points, also known as 'pointclouds', which allows for the following services, all of which we offer:

3D As-Built Modelling, Scan Registration, Pointcloud Extraction Drawings, Volume Surveys, Clash Detection, Deformation Surveys, Visualisation, Leica Truview and Topographical Extractions. 

We operate over a diverse range of industries including, but not limited to, process plants, mining, construction, marine and architectural.

 

We utilise the latest 3D laser scanning hardware with a measuring rate of up to two million points per second and an advanced high-dynamic range imaging system.

The majority of our processing is completed utilising the Leica Cyclone software package, but we also work in, among other, Revit, AutoCAD, Microstation, Recap, 3Ds Max, 3D Reshaper, SketchUp and Unity.

3D laser scanning is - 

- fast and reduces the need for and cost of lengthy site visits

- accurate and reduces the risk of design/constrution errors

- comprehensive and produces complete datasets

Even though we currently utilise the latest 3D laser scanning technology, we strive to remain at the forefront of trends and developments in our industry in order to deliver high quality and innovative services to our clients.

3D LASER SCANNING

 

3D laser scanners are stationary technology used to survey structures or environments in a fast and accurate manner whilst producing comprehensive and detailed data.

DeformationSurveys300px.png

DEFORMATION SURVEYS

Deformation surveys is the inspection, measurement and tracking of alterations in the shape or dimensions of structures as a result of the stresses caused by a range of external elements.

SCAN REGISTRATION

 

We offer scan registration services to clients with limited resources, experience or skill in the processing of data, by utilising Leica Cyclone.

PointcloudExtractionDrawing300px.png

POINTCLOUD EXTRACTION DRAWING

 

Utilising pointcloud data as reference, we are able to produce highly accurate and detailed 2D documentation such us floor plans, sections and elevations views.

AS-BUILT 3D MODELLING

 

Using the scan data as reference, we are able to create as-built 3D models which provides insight on a structure or site in its current state.

VISUALISATION

 

After extracting the as-built 3D models from the pointcloud, we are able to take it a step further and produce a more interactive scanned environment.

ClashDetection300px.png

CLASH DETECTION

 

With clash detection we are able to test and identify a possible clash between a new design concept and an existing environment.

TopoEtraction300px.png

TOPOGRAPHICAL EXTRACTION

 

Topographical surveys (surveys that collects data about the natural and man-made features of a land, and its elevations) can be extracted using scanned data, in either 2D or 3D formats.

VolumeSurveys300px.png

VOLUME SURVEYS

With 3D laser scanning, volume surveys of the scanned terrain can be conducted accurately and in very short time frames.

LeicaTruview300px.png

LEICA TRUVIEW

TruView combines 360-degree panoramic images and scan data, which allows the user to take measurements and pick 3D coordinate values.
