3D Laser Scanning For Heritage
Lidar Scanning for Conservation, Documentation, and Restoration Digital Preservation of Historical Assets
Digital Preservation of Historical Assets
We provide 3D laser scanning services for heritage structures to capture accurate, detailed records of historical buildings and monuments. Using LiDAR technology, we generate high-density point cloud data that preserves geometry, intricate details, and existing conditions for documentation and conservation.
Our heritage scanning services support restoration, conservation planning, and digital archiving. The captured data integrates with workflows such as Heritage BIM (HBIM), Scan to CAD, and digital twin development—ensuring long-term preservation and accurate analysis of heritage assets.
