3D Laser Scanning

3D Laser Scanning

Avoid Expensive Surprises and Save Time in the Field with Richer Data

Safer projects, smoother timelines, increased accuracy, and less financial risk: it all starts with better information. With laser scanning, 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM), and reality capture from Baisch Engineering, you gain an accurate digital representation of your existing facility before design begins. Whether you’re planning an expansion, coordinating complex renovations, or documenting existing conditions, our reality capture services provide the confidence to make informed decisions, reduce rework, and keep projects moving forward.

Why Laser Scanning?

Prevent Surprises

Replace assumptions and outdated or missing drawings with site-specific data before a project moves further downstream.

Save Time On-Site

Cut down manual work on the jobsite, capture complex conditions more efficiently, and reduce time spent on field documentation.

Work Safer

Capture hazardous, restricted, elevated, or hard-to-access areas from a distance, helping protect your people, schedules, and budgets.

Boost Stakeholder Confidence

Let key people “walk” through the design before construction begins.

Enhance Coordination

Detect clashes, access issues, and discipline conflicts early on for streamlined projects.

Use Your Data Long-Term

Turn models into resources for future maintenance, upgrades, and more.

Capabilities & Benefits

3D Scanning

From facility layouts to panel-level detail, captured at scale

We match your project with the right technology, whether it’s tripod-based terrestrial scanning, walkable mobile scanning, or drone capture. Scanning can also document temporary or concealed conditions.

Scan Data

Raw scan data, converted into resources you can use.

We register and process point clouds, integrate scan data into models, and convert field conditions into drawings and digital resources.

  • Registered point clouds for model integration
  • 360° panoramic site images
  • Scan-to-CAD and scan-to-BIM
  • Secure online scan viewers

3D Modeling

Every dimension. One model. One source of truth.

3D modeling shows height, depth, clearances, layout, access, equipment placement, and how different systems interact, so teams can all work from the same model.

  • Revit/Plant 3D modeling
  • Federated models
  • Data-rich BIM objects

Clash Detection

Find conflicts now, 
not when crews are on-site.

Catch conflicts before they happen. Clash detection prevents headaches like RFIs, rework, delays, safety concerns, and budget worries.

  • Automated clash detection
  • Automated code compliance checks
  • Maintenance clearance checks
  • RFI/rework reduction
  • Design coordination

Collaborate

A shared model—so teams review, discuss, and approve together.

Give decision-makers a better way to review and approve projects. Models are easy to review, share, and interpret, helping teams raise questions early and keep projects moving.

  • XR model walkthroughs
    • Virtual Reality (VR)
    • Augmented reality (AR)
    • Mixed reality (MR)
  • Native/federated file delivery

VALUE beyond the build

As-Built Scans

After construction is complete, we can capture a high-precision record scan of the real-life conditions of your new build. This can support future planning, maintenance, upgrades, asset management, and facility management.

Accuracy is Everything

From automated scan reports to visual reviews and peer-reviewed quality checks, every model is put through a rigorous verification process. Scans are accurate up to 3-5 millimeters.

Construction Progress Scans

Throughout construction, scheduled laser scans provide an accurate record of project progress while improving communication with owners, project managers, and other off-site stakeholders. Regular reality capture also documents work that will eventually be concealed, creating a permanent visual record of:

  • Buried utilities
  • Reinforcing steel
  • Embedded conduit
  • Underground piping

Other Critical Infrastructure

The result is better documentation, improved quality assurance, and valuable information for future maintenance, renovations, or troubleshooting.
