LiDAR Scanning

LiDAR Scanning

Long-range terrestrial LiDAR scanning for data capture, as-built documentation, BIM, infrastructure inspection, and Photorealistic models.

Overview

Professional LiDAR Scanning for Facilities, Infrastructure, Assets and Photorealism

Frontier Metrology specializes in high-accuracy LiDAR scanning and Photorealism services for industrial facilities, infrastructure, construction projects, manufacturing environments, and complex assets worldwide. Using advanced terrestrial LiDAR technology and industry-leading software, our experienced team captures millions of precise measurement points to create detailed, georeferenced point clouds that provide a complete digital representation of real-world conditions.

Our field teams are experienced in scan registration, control network setup, and delivering processed data in the formats your project requires — whether that's a registered point cloud, a BIM model, or a 2D drawing set.

We work across Canada and adapt our workflow to your project schedule, site access requirements, and deliverable specifications.

Deliverables

What You Receive

Registered Point Clouds

We can provide Colourized Point Clouds, fully registered, georeferenced point cloud data delivered in RCP, E57, LAS, or PTX format for use in your preferred software.

BIM & Revit Models

As-built BIM models developed from scan data in Revit, suitable for renovation, retrofit, and facility management workflows. Available in all levels of detail (LOD).

2D Drawings & Plans

Floor plans, elevations, sections, and detail drawings extracted from point cloud data to your required scale and standard.

As-Built Inspection

Comparison of as-built conditions against design intent, identifying clashes, deviations, and out-of-tolerance conditions.

Photorealistic Models

Using our proprietary workflows we provide customers with Photorealistic models for use in engineering, Film & Television, and VFX applications.

Volumetric Calculations

Calculate volumes of material piles for logistics, planning, and resource management.

Common Applications

How Our Clients Use This Service

As-Built Documentation

Capture accurate as-built conditions of facilities, structures, and infrastructure for record, renovation, and retrofit.

Scan-to-BIM

Convert point cloud data into Revit BIM models for use in design, construction, and facility management.

Plant & Facility Scanning

Document industrial plants, process facilities, and manufacturing environments for engineering and maintenance.

Infrastructure Inspection

Inspect bridges, tunnels, roads, and civil structures for deformation, settlement, and condition assessment.

Heritage Documentation

Create accurate digital records of heritage buildings, monuments, and cultural sites for preservation and restoration.

Construction Verification

Compare as-built construction progress against design models to identify deviations before they become costly.
