Advancing As-Built Surveying with Unmatched Precision, Efficiency, and Safety
Nex-Gen Engineering Studio, is leading a significant transformation in the field of As-built surveying through the integration of advanced drone-based 3D LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) laser scanning technology. This groundbreaking advancement significantly enhances precision, and optimises overall efficiency, marking a new era in As-built assessments for renovations, restorations, and new constructions.
Harnessing the power of high-performance laser scanners equipped with LiDAR technology, Nex-Gen Engineering Studio captures highly detailed measurements of existing structures with exceptional accuracy. These data points are then processed into precise 3D point clouds, forming the foundation for highly detailed digital models. Cutting-edge software such as Autodesk Recap and Revit is employed to refine these models, ensuring the highest level of accuracy in digital representations.
Beyond improved accuracy, the adoption of drone-based LiDAR scanning delivers significant time and resource savings. Traditional surveying methods, which can be time-intensive and labour-heavy, are streamlined through automation, significantly reducing project costs and enhancing efficiency.
Drone-based laser scanning also offers a safer alternative for surveying hazardous environments, such as chemical fields, where conventional methods may pose risks to human surveyors.
Nex-Gen Engineering Studio is leveraging this advanced technology to redefine construction monitoring. By conducting regular drone scans throughout a project’s lifecycle, the company ensures real-time progress tracking and identifies any deviations between planned designs and actual construction. This proactive approach enables early corrective actions, ensuring projects remain on schedule, within budget, and aligned with quality standards.
“Drone-based 3D laser scanning is a transformative breakthrough in As-built surveying,” said Hasith Prematillake, Managing Director of Hayleys Fentons. “By embracing digital transformation, we enhance precision, efficiency, and safety while setting new industry benchmarks for smarter, data-driven engineering solutions.”
Rashmika Samaranayake, Deputy General Manager, Nex-Gen Engineering Studio, stated “With drone-based laser scanning, we are able to deliver more reliable data that accelerates the design and construction process, ensuring fewer delays and better-quality outcomes for our clients.”
