3D as-built surveys
3D laser scanning technology provides a faithful reproduction of real three-dimensional objects in virtual CAD space.

Three-dimensional surveying with the aid of laser scans is the most modern, fastest, most precise and universally applicable method of obtaining building data today. The result of the scans taken from different points of view is a point cloud that can be converted quickly and in simple steps into a three-dimensional visualization of the measured object. This type of laser scanning is used in various areas, e.g. for surveying power lines, streets, industrial plants with integrated production facilities or architectural landmarks.
We use precision instruments from the renowned manufacturer Leica Geosystems. Our scanners capture up to one million points per second and deliver accurate measurement data even over long distances. Leica TruView enables us to view the point cloud directly on the web, take measurements within it, and embed comments. We also work together with the company Bestand 3D, which is why we are very familiar with German standards.
The image of the scanned building requires careful editing before it can be used further. The scan in its raw version appears as a grainy black-and-white image, providing an object visualization that is too detailed and therefore confusing, making it unsuitable for modification in CAD. Such visualizations are hardly suitable for use in project planning or modernization work.
For these purposes, it is essential to create 2D projections and 3D models in CAD formats. Often, only a partial inventory is required for further processing, e.g., if only the inventory of a newly installed paint supply system for the paint cabins is needed. In this case, laser scanning is not suitable because it is overloaded with unnecessary information and is relatively expensive.
We know from experience which method is best in each case and take appropriate measures in advance so that the customer avoids unnecessary costs.
There are many uses for 3D laser scanning. Architectural landmarks are inventoried in this way in order to create as-built documentation, visualization and presentation of the surveyed objects. 3D scanning technology also facilitates the planning of future construction projects wherever a three-dimensional map of the surroundings is required, e.g. when surveying railroad stations, highway junctions, dams and slag heaps. Another field of application is industrial and production facilities, where buildings, machines and installations are scanned in order to better assess upcoming modernization and optimization measures.
The company HOLDFORT specializes in 3D inventory in all its facets, with a focus on buildings, industrial halls, and production lines. Our many years of experience in the industrial sector, technical know-how, and perfect mastery of CAD tools enable us to create high-quality, scan-based 3D models. We work in compliance with standards and in accordance with the customers’ requirements so that subsequent modernization or reorganization of the plant can be seamlessly implemented.
