Survey of a High School by Digital Surveys with PointCab as Analysis Tool

Digital Surveys was awarded a contract for modernization and reconstruction of Skegness Academy, a high school located in Lincolnshire on England's west coast. The project required an accurate as-built model so that the engineers would have all necessary information available for planning purposes.

Redevelopment of a Mustard Factory

A project from Bouwsupport

The city—as a habitat and space for living—is undergoing a renaissance. People are looking for interesting properties. More often than not, old industrial buildings are renovated and turned into living areas. In this project, an old mustard factory was to be converted. The factory building with the shape of the letter U consists of several rooms over two floors. The rooms are filled with machines for production purposes and serve as storerooms and garages.

Laser Scanning in Plant Construction: Scanning of a Limestone Plant

For a cement factory located in the Near East, the German company ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik GmbH was assigned a contract to scan and collect data of a limestone plant. The software PointCab by Laserscanning Europe was to be used for analyzing, planning and interpreting purposes.

Using Laser Scanning for Planning Pipe Routes

Two pipe routes for a leading French manufacturer in the field of plastic production had to be modified. Three different engineering offices were assigned the project, each of which was responsible for a certain task in the context of the project.



The first office managed the modifications of both extruders. Here, an additional end connector had to be installed.

The second engineering office was in charge of planning two filter units and a vacuum unit.

3D laser scanning and Tutankhamun

From now on, individuals can see and explore historical buildings, monuments and cultural heritage of peoples not only at exhibitions but also at home and in the form of realistic 3D models. Thanks to the sophisticated laser scanning technique used to create identical reproductions of original items, you will have the opportunity to see and examine extremely accurate reproductions of historical items formerly only available in the form of photos or as small models. That makes history more exciting than ever before!

PointCab for plant documentation of gas supplier industry

The Niederreihnische Gas-Technik GmbH (NieGaTec), situated in Moers, Germany, is a partner of the energy industry. The company provides a wide range of engineering services to service companies and suppliers of the energy industry, including municipal utilities and gas suppliers. As-built documentation is for planning and documentation purposes of plants and installations an indispensable feature. More often than not, this concerns gas suppliers, gas pressure regulator installations and gas pressure regulation and measurement installations.

Laser scanning in food industry

Kvejborg, a Danish partner of Laserscanning Europe, applies laser scanning as a measurement method in food industry.

Kvejborg is a Danish engineering company for the construction of tools and robot applications. Kvejborg already uses short-range scanners by the company Creaform for the measurement of tools and small components. The director Soren Kvejborg is a firm believer in the future of laser scanning and sees the application of this technology as an inherent part of the company.

ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer uses laser scanning for plant layout study

Increasing planning certainties through 3D laser scanning?

For a plant layout study ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer was assigned a contract to efficiently create complete plans and sectional views of an existing carmaker production plant. ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer considered the need to implement the laser scanning data into existing CAD systems (AutoCAD/FactoryCAD and RobCAD) without delay as one of the primary goals.
