Land Surveying: To Scan Or Not To Scan

I recently wrote a post on how 3D laser scanning can save you time and money even in todays market. Whether you are starting a brand new project, working on a existing project, or doing asset management the 3D laser scanner produces superior results at half the cost of a conventional survey crew. It does not matter whether you are in the Oil and Energy sector or in the Engineering sector, High Definition Scanning will produce quality results for your business.

Land Surveying - PFS High Definition Scanning

Have you recently acquired new assets? Do you have the need or want to have those assets mapped? Whether those assets include oil, wind, or solar, Petroleum Field Services can help. At PFS we pride ourselves in being the industry leader in technology. With this technology Petroleum Field Services is able to provide the same premium service but at a lower cost than our competitors! Have you ever heard of High Definition Scanning? Our HDS scanner is like a camera that takes 360 degree photographs, except that every pixel has its own set of coordinates! When you send a survey crew out they collect only individual points, where as our scanner collects millions of points in half the time. It would take a survey crew a day or two to get everything mapped on a facility. We can do it with our scanner in a matter of a few hours.
So what do you get with a HDS scan?
• Complete 2d as-built
•Complete 3d as-built
•Complete 3d model
•Digital terrain model with contours for calculating volumes and elevations
•Low cost
So what do you get with a regular survey with a survey crew?
•Complete 2d as-built
•Digital terrain model with contours for calculating volumes and elevations
•Higher cost
What can you do with a 3d model of your asset?
 Well for one a 3d model is great for Engineering and design re-guarding future expansions. A 3d model can help your team calculate volumes of frac ponds, storage tanks, etc. The possibilities are endless. So you have to ask yourself, how could our company benefit from this technology?
