Innovation: Laser scanning retail roof space with a hatch bracket
In 2018, CSD Group Australia was given a challenging task - to do a laser scan of a retail roof space. Why was this a challenge? The ceilings were sloping. There were stacked ducting inside the roof, and the height allowance was not enough to mount the 3D scanner on a regular tripod. CSD Group worked with RAYG Design to innovate and design a telescopic, variable access hatch bracket with leveling capabilities and fall arrest system. Watch the video to see how the innovative h
Capturing reality with 3D scan and point cloud
Our 3D scan and point cloud services are used by architects, engineers and project managers for their construction, renovation or retrofit projects in Australia. Aside from construction, our 3D scans are also being used for facility management and property audits. Contact us at enquiries@csd-group.com.au or at (+61) 7 5500 0466 to learn more or to book a 3D scan or laser scan project with us. We do laser scanning jobs across Australia.
3D scanning is for backyards, too
Laser scanning is also for home projects. It is not just for big, commercial developments. Doing a 3D scan of your patio and backyard, for example, will let you design (to the millimetre) home improvements such as putting a deck, awning and even a play house! Since it's also on 3D and point cloud, you can have a "walk through" of your design in virtual reality (VR) and make changes until you are happy with your future patio and backyard. All these are done pre-construction an
Digital construction
From laser scanning to steel detailing, point cloud overlay, virtual reality for clash checks to digital layout, CSD Group Australia used all of its equipment and software for this project. Using our FARO S-Series, a 3D laser scan was done on the existing structure. PT cable and rebar marks were also picked up. The scan data were imported into the FARO Scene software and a point cloud was created. The point cloud data were imported into Tekla software. Drafting was done based
