Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning
Ground-Based Laser Scanning for Precision, Safety, and Structural Insight
Nurosight Robotics provides professional terrestrial LiDAR scanning services across Queensland and throughout Australia, capturing millimetre-accurate 3D data for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications.
Using state-of-the-art ground-based laser scanners, our team delivers as-built verification, clash detection, and deformation analysis with unmatched precision. By integrating terrestrial, UAV, and crawler data, we offer a complete 360° digital view of your assets — from foundation to roof, inside and out.
About Our Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning Services
Terrestrial LiDAR scanning (also known as ground-based 3D laser scanning) captures precise spatial data from stationary scanners positioned on or around a site.
This allows engineers, surveyors, and asset owners to measure, model, and monitor structures with sub-centimetre accuracy — ideal for as-built validation, design coordination, and deformation analysis.Our team combines survey-grade terrestrial scanning, UAV LiDAR, and crawler-mounted systems to provide a unified dataset that supports engineering design, quality control, and long-term asset management.
Every scan is conducted by experienced technicians with backgrounds in industrial and mining environments, ensuring both accuracy and on-site safety compliance.
Our Capabilities
-
As-Built Verification – Validate new and existing structures against design models to ensure dimensional accuracy and construction compliance.
-
Design Clash Detection – Identify interferences between structural, mechanical, and electrical systems before fabrication or installation to avoid costly rework.
-
Progress Monitoring – Conduct time-lapse scans to compare stages of construction and document project progress with precision.
-
Deformation & Tank Assessment – Detect bending, warping, or settlement in large storage tanks and vessels using API 653-compliant methodologies.
-
Volume & Capacity Calculations – Calculate storage capacity and material volumes for tanks, containment areas, and stockpiles.
-
Digital Twin Creation – Generate high-resolution digital twins for ongoing asset management and predictive maintenance.
-
Integrated Data Mapping – Merge terrestrial scans with UAV and crawler LiDAR to achieve full 360° asset coverage.
