As-built surveys
Digital documentation of existing buildings and structures.
Photogrammetry & laser scanning
Measure the real world. Turn it into data.
Digital surveys for construction, topography and land monitoring.
Knowing precisely what exists is the first step towards designing what comes next.
Drone photogrammetry and laser scanning technologies make it possible to capture buildings, terrain and sites and turn them into a detailed, measurable digital representation.
Agriscan works alongside technicians and professionals to collect the data, delivering outputs that support as-built documentation, design work and land monitoring.
The technology
Photogrammetry: from photographs to a digital model
Photogrammetry uses a large number of photographs taken from different positions to digitally reconstruct the geometry of the object or area being surveyed.
The drone captures overlapping imagery which is then processed with dedicated software.
Depending on the project, this makes it possible to obtain:
- high-resolution georeferenced orthophotos
- point clouds
- three-dimensional models
- digital terrain models and contour lines
- distance and surface measurements
- volume calculations
- detailed as-built documentation
A photogrammetric survey lets you measure and analyse.
Photogrammetry and laser scanning can be used as complementary techniques, choosing case by case the technology best suited to the characteristics of the survey.
Photogrammetry & laser scanning
In construction
Having digital documentation of the as-built condition can be a major advantage for architects, surveyors, engineers and contractors.
Surveys can be used as support for:
Renovation and redevelopment
Geometric capture of the existing structure before the design phase.
Façades and roofs
Surveys of elements that are hard to reach or impossible to see in full from the ground.
Site monitoring
Documentation of the various stages of progress and comparison over time.
Three-dimensional models
Representations useful for analysis, design and communicating the project.
Calculations and measurements
Support for extracting distances, surfaces and volumes from the digital deliverables.
Agriscan does not replace the professional responsible for the project: it gives them a digital foundation to work from.
Land
Topography and land monitoring
Looking at an area from above makes it far easier to understand its shapes, differences and transformations.
Drone photogrammetry can be used to survey large areas and to create up-to-date, georeferenced documentation of the land.
Possible applications include:
- surveys of land and sites
- up-to-date orthophotos
- documentation of embankments, levees and slopes
- monitoring how an area evolves over time
- surface and volume calculations
- surveys of stockpiles and material movements
- support for planning and design
- documentation of areas that are hard to access
When the same survey is repeated over time, it also becomes possible to compare acquisitions and analyse the changes that have occurred.
The value
Less time measuring. More information to work with.
The advantage of these technologies lies not only in the amount of data collected, but in the ability to turn physical reality into a digital base that can be consulted, measured and shared.
Agriscan starts from the professional’s requirements to define the type of acquisition and the deliverables best suited to the job at hand.
