FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our scanning, modeling, and project delivery.
A good scan captures complete geometry with consistent accuracy across the entire facility. We use multiple scanner positions, overlap coverage, and field verification to ensure no critical details are missed. The result is a point cloud dense enough for reliable modeling and decision-making.
Processing time depends on scan complexity and deliverable scope. Simple scans may take one to two weeks; large industrial facilities with full BIM modeling can take four to six weeks. We provide a timeline estimate during the scoping phase.
Yes. We plan scans around your operational schedule and safety protocols. For active facilities, we coordinate with your team to minimize disruption while capturing complete data. Some areas may require temporary shutdowns depending on safety requirements.
Laser scanning typically achieves accuracy within 1.5 to 2 millimeters for industrial environments. We can achieve tighter tolerances for specific areas if required. Accuracy depends on distance, surface reflectivity, and registration quality.
We execute projects across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Travel, mobilization, and site logistics are factored into project scope and pricing. Contact us to discuss your location and project requirements.
