6 Reasons
Why Heritage Scanning?
Heritage scanning allows us to precisely and comprehensively measure historical monuments and buildings. The resulting point clouds can be transformed into 3D mesh models, creating invaluable archives in case structures require restoration. These datasets help us in identifying potential risks that heritage sites or structures might face.
Our Heritage Scanning services have left a mark on a diverse range of heritage sites right across SA, serving a multitude of purposes.
- Digitising Structures: Whether it’s a medieval city’s ruins or a fading fresco on a church wall, our 3D solutions create true-to-life digital replicas of vulnerable heritage. These recreations ensure the original look is never lost.
- Documenting Archaeological Findings: Safely capture data from extremely fragile artifacts right on site with our non-contact scanners.
- Measuring for Reconstruction: Precision is our mantra when capturing architectural details. With our scans, you can confidently make design changes and conduct maintenance without disruption or damage to the heritage site.
- Preservation: Heritage buildings are vulnerable to natural wear and tear over time. Detect structural weaknesses or hidden damage, preserving heritage sites for generations to come.
- Site Monitoring: Our scanning data isn’t static; it’s a living record. Track changes in the earth or walls over time and predict the future movements of these structures. It’s a proactive approach to heritage site preservation.
- Compliance: Many heritage sites are subject to strict preservation regulations. Our scans facilitate compliance by providing comprehensive data for decision-makers.
Laser Scanning & High Definition Imagery
Our commitment to precision drives us to be early adopters of the latest and most progressive technology in the field of surveying. We employ advanced static & vehicle mounted laser scanning devices that capture millions of data points in intricate detail, with unrivaled precision.
Our lasers are accurate, and fast. Here’s a few other benefits that only our technology can bring to the table:
Coupled with high-definition imagery, we can create a digital representation of heritage buildings that captures both their physical dimensions and their unique architectural features.
