Measure Complex Spaces with Millimeter Precision

When a site in Hilliard includes structures, tight spaces, or features that cannot be captured from the air, terrestrial LiDAR scanning uses ground-based lasers to record every visible surface. You get a dense point cloud that shows walls, ceilings, equipment, and terrain with millimeter-level accuracy. This method is used for as-built documentation, renovation planning, and any project in Hilliard where precise interior or exterior detail is required.

Aerial Metrology & Inspection positions tripod-mounted scanners at multiple locations around your site, capturing overlapping scans that are later registered into a single coordinate system. The scanner emits millions of laser pulses per second, recording the distance and position of each return. You receive a 3D model that can be sectioned, measured, and exported into design software.

If your project in Hilliard involves structural documentation or complex site geometry, contact us to review access requirements and scanning scope.

After scanning is completed at your Hilliard site, the individual scans are aligned using overlapping common points, to produce a comprehensive point cloud. Once the point cloud is registered together, the data set can then be geo referenced by identifying ground control points within the point cloud data. The data can be viewed, measured, and modeled to produce accurate measurements for construction estimation and quality control verification.

You will notice that walls, pipes, beams, and other features are captured with enough detail to measure clearances, angles, and offsets without returning to the site. The point cloud serves as a digital record that can be referenced throughout design, fabrication, and construction phases. Color data from an integrated camera can be overlaid onto the scan for visual context.

This service works best when the site is accessible and free of heavy obstructions. The scanner requires line of sight to capture surfaces, so areas blocked by equipment or walls may need additional scan positions. It does not capture subsurface features or materials behind opaque surfaces.

Clients typically want to know how long scanning takes, what they will receive, and how the data fits into their existing project workflow.

Aerial Metrology & Inspection coordinates scanning schedules and data delivery based on your design and construction timeline in Hilliard. Reach out to confirm site access, scanning scope, and file format needs.
