How can our clients benefit from it?

• Saves lot of time, cost and man power hours, as compared to manual processes. A single scan takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Gives better overview as compared to 2D sketches, photos and videos with precise measurements.
• 3D scans give highly accurate measurements of all features/object environment, its shape and real appearance as would be seen by one as if he was personally present at that spot.
• 3D scans can be used by multiple users at multiple places for reviews to make plans/alterations etc.
• 3D scans can help prepare 2D sketches, 3D image of specific portions from a large area scans to make precise calculations.
• It takes only one person to scan vast area as compared to a team of technical experts to make physical measurements as the 3D laser scanners are high accuracy, long range, fast data acquisition gadget with 360° to 300° coverage view.

 

What is risk assessment plan?

Assessment plan process can be summarized as follows: Risk identification and assessment: determining and analyzing the potential, origin, characteristics and behaviour of the hazard – e.g. Frequency of occurrence/magnitude of consequences.

Potential Risk Treatments:

• Reduction: planning and implementation of structural interventions (e.g. dams, dikes) or non-structural measures like disaster legislation.
• Early warning: provision of timely and effective information, through identified institutions, that allow individuals exposed to a hazard, to take action to avoid or reduce their risk and prepare for effective response.
• Disaster preparedness and emergency management: activities and measures taken in advance to ensure effective response to the impact of a hazard, including measures related to timely and effective warnings as well as to evacuation and emergency planning. Recovery/Reconstruction: decisions and actions taken in the post-disaster phase with a view to restoring the living conditions of the affected population.

Proper risk assessment or risk management requires up to date information, a possible rapid response, accurate data and a possibility to check data for change in a certain time-span. This is exactly what laser scanners do best.

Laser scanners are used for risk assessment in a wide variety of applications:

• Analyzing the structural state of a building in danger of collapse, assessing possible deformations of structures over time due to external or internal forces.
• Detecting possible flooding zones by analyzing the topographical terrain.
• Simulation of land slides or earthquakes.
• Condition assessment and safety analysis of roads and bridges.
• Documenting disaster areas when disaster has already occurred, this includes building collapses, roadway defects and structural failures, damaged vehicles; collision areas, including roadways, shipping docks, parking lots and stairways; the remnants of building fires; interference checks with new designs and as-built scan databases.
• Recording crime scenes (comparison of damage profiles, no disturbance of the evidence, incorporates the environment, quick clearance of the scene).
• Surveying high-traffic areas without shutdowns or risk to a survey crew.
• Conducting remote and accurate measurements of rock faces (danger of rock falling).
• Tsunami simulation.
• GIS mapping: location of people affected and critical infrastructures such as hospitals or fire departments.
