3D scanning to draw up existing plans of these industrial sheds. While the scanner is highly accurate, precise sizing of the universal beams and columns is checked with a set of calipers where I can reach.

Farm Survey, Newton, Near Clitheroe
The steam shouldn’t affect the laser measurements too much, hopefully, as I don’t think anyone has calculated a coefficient for this scenario. Notice that the scanner is placed well outside licking distance. That comes from years of experience, well one incident when my traverse prism was licked over.
Church Survey, Buttermere
Another historic church, scanned and photographed for record purposes. This is a low resolution model created in Capturing Reality
Church Survey, Lowick
Combined with photography, this data captures a highly accurate record of this historic building at a point in time. The information can be used for planning maintenance and to check structural integrity over time.
Church Survey, Blackburn
If I thought it was tight getting around and up the spiral, getting from the roof into the vault void was even tighter. Not to mention the wind.
Topographical Survey, Lowick, Ulverston
The 3D scanner can be useful to capture inaccessible areas like this embankment, avoiding the surveyor having to scramble around the banking and hanging from branches with the detail pole. Scan registration can be tricky in a scene like this, but luckily out of shot are some out buildings, providing …
Measured Building Survey, Sedbergh
I am scanning the barns behind me, but what a view from the backyard. Waterside Viaduct on the Leeds to Morecambe line, that would be handy, but alas it was closed in 1966.
Scan to BIM, Lancaster
3D scanning the Roman bath house in Lancaster. Technically, I am surveying the adjacent multi-storey car park, for renovation works. The pyramids are next.
Bridge Survey, Sizergh, Kendal
Scanning a footbridge to provide detailed drawings for heritage preservation and future planning of maintenance. This Nedo elevating tripod I usually use for loft hatches comes in handy.
Measured Building Survey, Blackrod, Bolton
3D scanning to produce plans, elevations and sections for the evaluation of new recycling machinery.
