3D scanning and point clouds

A laser scanner records millions of points in a few minutes. The point cloud then makes it possible to measure, cut sections and model without returning to site.

When is it needed

  • Industrial sites: flatness, structures, columns.
  • Heritage and natural sites.
  • Façades and complex volumes.

Our work

  1. Capture. Static stations or mobile LiDAR runs.
  2. Referencing. Measured reference points, Lambert Morocco (Merchich datum) and NGM (Morocco's national levelling datum) if required.
  3. Registration. Scan checks, noise removal.
  4. Use. Plans, sections, 3D model, viewer.

Examples of assignments

  • Flatness of a warehouse slab
  • Column checks
  • 3D model of a natural site

What you receive

  • Point cloud (E57, LAS)
  • Plans and sections
  • 3D model and viewer

Reference framework

  • Accuracy standards of the ONIGT (National Order of Surveying Engineers)

Where we work

Based in Casablanca (Aïn Sebaâ), the firm carries out this service throughout Morocco: Greater Casablanca, Rabat-Salé-Témara, Fès, Tangier, Agadir, the Oriental and the South. Its survey crews travel to the site for the duration of the assignment.

Frequently asked questions

Static scanner or mobile LiDAR?

A static scanner gives the best accuracy; mobile LiDAR covers large volumes faster.
