3D Laser Scanning

Professional aerial drone 3D survey and laser scanning services using high-resolution LiDAR sensor technologies.

Azure employs high-resolution laser scanning sensors to deliver precision 3D digitisation services for industrial, infrastructure, and geotechnical applications. Our advanced laser scanners capture detailed and accurate 3D data of internal and external structures, providing comprehensive dimensional information for asset management, as-built review, reengineering, decommissioning, and building information modelling (BIM) projects.

Aerial Laser Scanning

Azure are experts in drone laser scanning services utilising our market-leading drone, photography, and survey technologies.

The use of drones allows for safe, efficient, and accurate survey of hard-to-reach and hazardous areas, minimising the need for costly and time-consuming manual measurements.

Our team have successfully carried out drone laser scanning on mine infrastructure, refineries, power stations, bridges, jetties, bulk export loaders, and power networks.

Terrestrial Laser Scanning

Our experienced team generate detailed and precise terrestrial LiDAR models using cutting-edge SLAM LiDAR scanners to create precision point cloud models for engineers to use for as built assessment, reengineering and decommissioning planning, and asset management projects.

Internal Laser Scanning

Azure specialises in complex internal laser scanning using our in-house Elios 3 RPAS and experienced pilot team.

Increase safety, reduce downtime and laser scanning costs, and improve asset information quality all while removing the need for workers to enter dangerous confined environments with our collision resistant confined space robotics and skilled remote pilots.

Our team have successfully carried out laser scanning missions with the Elios 3 in confined spaces such as storage tanks, culverts, bridges, grain silos, boilers, chimneys, piperacks, and underground mines.
