Laser scanning offers several advantages over traditional survey methods:
- Proven lower cost as-built and topographic surveys, due to faster data collection and shorter field activity
- Reduction or elimination of costly return visits to the site
- Detailed and accurate as-builts for retrofit and design enabling offsite fabrication and less rework caused by interferences and onsite fitting issues
- Scan data can be delivered via a complementary viewer as 2D or 3D CAD, or in a variety of laser scan formats that can be manipulated by various processing software
