3D SPATIAL CAPABILITY STATEMENT


UAV Capabi l i t ies inc lude:

• Stockpile volumes, monitoring and ‘As Constructed’ surveys

• High resolution videography• Property videos and photos• Vegetation mapping• Terrain modelling for architectural design, or town

planning• Landscape architecture base mapping• Data collection flights for pest & plant management,

asset management & land use compliance

Vision Surveys provides 3D Spatial surveying, using specialised equipment including LIDAR and photographic cameras with UAV.

The benefits of 3D Spatial surveying removes a large portion of traditional field survey for general surface level pick up and re-duces risk to surveyors working near machinery and plant equip-ment. UAV can be used in almost any engineering process to pro-vide high definition 3D imaging of physical parts for any number of disciplines.

UAV/LIDAR

Vision Surveys specialises in 3D Laser Scanning, it is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light. 3D laser scanners create “point clouds” of data from the surface of an object. Effectively, 3D laser scanning captures a physical object’s exact size and shape as a digital 3-dimensional representation.

3D LASER SCANNING

3D Laser Scanning Capabi l i t ies inc lude:

• ‘As Constructed’ survey, reality capture or existing conditions survey

• Construction verification, sequencing, scheduling and simulations

• Design engineering for facility upgrades and/or expansions

• Architectural documentation or historical preservation• Calculating volumes, deformation analysis and overhead

clearances• Virtual design and construction• Collecting geospatial data
