Time Team channels 4s long running archaeological series are looking to go global with a new World Series. The new series will utilize the latest ground breaking technologies in heritage documentation and investigation. Below is a short clip featuring Digital Surveys at work.
3D laser scanning provides a cost effective solution to digitally document and preserve historic buildings interiors in full 3D. All elements down to the smallest nut and bolt are captured creating a dimensionally accurate model.
Recording up to 900,000 points of data per second the scanner creates a 3D point cloud with the definition of a [...]
Digital have just returned from the Bladt Industries ship yard in Aalborg Denmark where we carried out an as built survey for two offshore wind farm decks. Using laser scanning we were able to capture exact 3d models of the decks. This data was used to carry out dimensions control checks ensuring [...]
Digital have recently returned from a week scanning Mont Orgueil castle in Jersey for Channel 4s Time Team. Always looking to be at the forefront of heritage and survey technology, Time Team approached Digital to use our 3D laser scanning services.
Over the week we scanned as much of the castle as possible, as well as [...]
AutoCAD 2011 has introduced native point cloud support. This step shows that the market is slowly moving towards acceptance of laser scanning data. Up until now 3Rd party software has been required to pull point cloud data into AutoCAD.
Although this is a move in the right direction, initial reviews from users are reporting limited [...]
Digital are now offering short CPD training seminars in 3D Laser scanning. We will introduce you and your employees to the technology, and show current best practices for working with point cloud data and talk you through some of the more challenging projects we have recently worked on, as well as outlining the vast benefits [...]
Terrestrial Laser Scanning also know as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an optical sensing technology used to measure and record vast amounts of 3D Data. This is achieved using a laser scanner which can be either pulse or phased based.
There are many different laser scanners for LiDAR surveys on the market. Currently they all [...]
Laser scanning is ideally suited to applications within the Oil & Gas Industries. Many offshore platforms require constant maintenance and updating. Accurate information on these platforms is essential to maintain safe and productive work environments.
Platform engineers need to know the locations of pumps, pipes valves and machinery and the weight of this equipment at [...]
In the nuclear industry safety is paramount. Installation and facility inspections although essential can be extremely costly requiring shut downs and exposing personnel to radiation. Typical inspections require components and equipment to be inspected and verified to be dimensionally correct. This is a timely and costly exercise. Utilising laser scanning provides substantial benefits to previous [...]
