Introducing a new dimension in reality capture and a new way of working for 3D laser scanning.
Introducing a new dimension in reality capture and a new way of working for 3D laser scanning.
Accurately capture the existing environment to create the best design to ensure building projects start the right way.
Whether from the air, ground or underground, you can capture data efficiently to generate 3D digital twins. Create 3D models of the new design in CAD & BIM software and transfer from the office to the field in a complete BIM digital workflow.
Building construction contractors must avoid costly mistakes and deliver projects on time and within budget. Hence, designs for construction projects must be based on accurate and complete data that provides a precise and clear understanding of a site, its design layout and its associated challenges.
Surveyors are the experts who provide the data to represent the existing conditions which form the basis of designs as BIM models. Our solutions allow you to capture the most complete and accurate data from the air, ground or underground to provide survey deliverables that can be visualised and managed. We empower you to digitally capture and map what meets and escapes the eye, such as underground utilities, through point clouds or imagery to support optimised designs and planning.
Preparing a building project for success requires having a complete set of data that mirrors the reality of the construction site. Surveyors provide the digital twins - or digital representations of reality - needed for building projects.
Our solutions empower you to go beyond the digital twin and create Smart Digital Realities, adding real-time data capture and analysis. Whether you capture large commercial properties, roofs, facades, or indoor spaces, we gear you with the fit-for-purpose equipment to complete the job in the fastest and most efficient way. Provide scan to BIM services with the most precise and complete point cloud data and many other preconstruction deliverables to influence the success of construction activities.
The surveyors’ goal is that all design matches reality ahead of the next project phase. They are best positioned to ensure commercial and residential construction projects are being built according to specifications.
Geared with Leica Geosystems solutions, surveyors optimise workflows and improve collaboration between field and office for enhanced project execution while ensuring everything fits. Our solutions connect office and field data and are compatible with CAD & BIM software, helping you create 3D models that form the basis of BIM digital workflows. We accelerate workflows in the design phase with software and apps that provides real-time, onsite visualisation, verification and deliverables.
Establish high-quality survey control for your newly constructed buildings
The most accurate total stations, field software and GNSS
With Leica Geosystems total stations and GNSS systems, new building projects start with the most accurate control. Integrated with Leica Captivate field software, rigorous results ensure confidence and quality assurance before leaving the site.
Industry-leading accuracy with Leica Geosystems digital levels
Leica Geosystems’ digital levels provide industry-leading accuracy levelling. With image-assisted aiming and autofocus, efficiency is maximised and user fatigue is minimised. Onboard applications ensure results can be verified onsite to avoid costly revisits.
Rigorous network adjustment
Once data collection is completed for the site control network, final coordinates are delivered after completing a network adjustment. Leica Infinity, LISTECH Neo, and MicroSurvey STAR*NET are designed to integrate measurements from all sensors to provide a rigorous least squares solution. Adjusted coordinates can be shared with field teams via GeoCloud Drive, powered by HxDR or directly uploaded for onsite use.
Accurately capture existing conditions and features for your building project
Capture indoor and outdoor reality from the ground with laser scanners
To replicate the physical world and turn it into a digital twin or a virtual environment, our 3D laser scanning solutions: the Leica ScanStation P-Series for the highest survey-grade accuracy and longest range,the Leica RTC360 for the highest productivity and the Leica BLK360 for tight locations and interiors using Leica Cyclone FIELD 360. Once the data is acquired with outstanding speed and the highest quality from the field it can be shared straight via Leica TruView Cloud or HxDR (Hexagon Digital Reality), connecting multiple sites and teams working with the same source at the same time. Data can be further processed, optimised, managed and delivered with Cyclone REGISTER 360, Leica Cyclone 3DR, Cyclone ENTERPRISE, and Leica CloudWorx to visualise, extract, analyse, collaborate and share, enabling you to get the most out of high-value deliverables.
Capture indoor and outdoor of buildings from the ground with mobile mapping
The revolutionary handheld Leica BLK2GO with BLK2GO Live app is an imaging laser scanner that creates a 3D digital twin while you walk through a space. One button is all you need; it is the fastest and easiest way to scan a large building, difficult-to-access locations or complex structures. When higher accuracy is required, the Leica Pegasus:Backpack wearable mobile mapping solution is recommended. Once data is captured, it is processed and optimised with Leica Cyclone Pegasus OFFICE to visualise, extract, analyse, collaborate and share, enabling you to get the most out of high-value deliverables.
Capture site conditions point by point
Capturing detailed site conditions is essential to create accurate designs before progressing with construction activities. Maximise efficiency with the Leica TS20 and the Leica AP20 AutoPole, collect point clouds with the Leica MultiStation MS60 or position and measure with images using the Leica GS18 I. With Leica Captivate field software, you can capture all point and line features in the field to ensure minimal post-processing in the office and create deliverables ready for building design activities to begin. Processing point clouds is easy with Leica Infinity surveying software.
Capture buildings from the air
Leica BLK2FLY is the world’s first fully integrated LiDAR UAV - an autonomous flying laser scanner with advanced obstacle avoidance for easy reality capture from the sky. Surveyors can capture building facades, roofs, and construction environments to create 3D point clouds while flying. Control the BLK2FLY Live App with a few taps on a tablet for simplified, app-based flying without requiring prior UAV experience. Define your scanning area, press a button, and you're clear for take-off. Directly upload your data to HxDR with automatic conversion to OBJ and cloud-based visualisation or transfer your data to Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 for to proceed with scan-to-BIM workflows in Cyclone 3DR.
Capture underground
Safety is paramount in construction, and knowing everything about the site before beginning construction is essential to ensure safety. Using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), the Leica DSX utility detection solution easily detects underground utilities. The Leica DSX maximises productivity with cutting-edge software that automates data analysis and creates a 3D utility map directly onsite. The utility map can then be exported to leading CAD formats and directly imported to Leica Geosystems Leica MC1 machine control software to increase safety by avoiding utility strikes during building construction.
Design with freedom and visualise every phase of the workflow
Detailed design with CAD, BIM, and AI solutions
Our solutions empower design teams to create more accurate and realistic BIM models during the design phase. In BricsCAD, a modern 2D/3D CAD & BIM, artificial intelligence (AI) tools can automatically convert concept study models to fully-classified BIM models. Designers can automate and accelerate previously mundane or laborious tasks with AI-powered workflows.
Visualise and collaborate effectively
Leica Infinity, LISTECH Neo and MicroSurveyCAD provide tools to import building design data from all leading design packages. The design can be quality checked before being prepared and sent directly to Leica Captivate with GeoCloud Drive, powered by HxDR cloud services. With Infinity office software and Captivate field software, you can get direct access to your AutoDesk BIM 360° account or Bricsys 24/7 to ensure efficient access to the latest design data. Using Bricsys 24/7 as a cloud-based CDE (Common Data Environment), stakeholders and owners can efficiently review designs and plans, collaborate on solutions, manage documents and automate workflows. Clash detection technology also helps identify potential construction issues during the design phase that can be addressed without causing rework, schedule delays or budget overruns.
