NavVis 3D Laser Scanning

Key Features of NavVis VLX 3

• Laser Scanner: Utilizes LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to measure the time it takes for light to travel to a surface and reflect back to a sensor.
• Front and Back Cameras: Capture high-resolution images for photorealistic 3D models.
• Side Cameras: Provide additional angles for comprehensive data capture.
• SLAM Technology: Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) enables autonomous navigation through new environments without a pre-existing map.

Projects by RAG Engineers Limited: 

Castle Gate, Aberdeen, UK: Our team recently completed a comprehensive scan of the Castle Gate area in Aberdeen using the NavVis VLX 3. The detailed report generated from this project showcases the precision and capabilities of our 3D laser scanning technology.

Alpha Piper Memorial, Aberdeen, UK: The survey team at RAG successfully conducted a 3D scan of Hazlehead Park, including the Alpha Piper Memorial. This project not only highlights the capabilities of our advanced scanning technology but also serves as a tribute to the offshore personnel who tragically lost their lives in the North Sea accident. The scan captures the memorial in intricate detail, preserving its significance and honoring the memory of those who perished.

Refineries in the Middle East: The RAG survey team traveled to the Middle East to conduct a comprehensive site survey of the refineries. Using advanced NavVis scanning technology, the team generated detailed site layouts, topographical maps, and 3D models to support the client in planning new site installations and construction projects. Despite the vast scale of the areas scanned, the NavVis scanner demonstrated exceptional efficiency, completing the entire scanning process in just three days. This rapid and accurate data capture ensures the client has the precise information needed for their development plans.
