3D laser scanning is a cutting-edge surveying technology that uses laser beams to accurately capture
the shape, size, and spatial position of objects and environments, creating detailed digital 3D
models. For offshore services, this technology is especially valuable, as it allows for fast, precise, and
non-contact measurement of complex structures such as oil platforms, piping systems, and
machinery. The scanner collects millions of data points—known as a point cloud—which are then
processed into accurate as-built models. This improves planning, design, and maintenance processes while reducing the need for manual measurements in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas. 3D laser scanning enhances safety, saves time, and ensures engineering accuracy across all stages of offshore projects.
