Our technical expertise keeps pace with a rapidly evolving industry.
Overview
Furtado is well-versed in performing 3D LiDAR laser scanning to supplement our four robotic total stations. The benefit of the 3D LiDAR method is that it can provide as much detail as needed for design. LiDAR scans are post-processed to provide enough detail to the base map to assist in preparing the options analysis documents, as well as location and as-built information. This technology helps convey the existing conditions of critical locations, such as power substations or municipal water tanks, as well as existing topographic elements, pavement markings, lighting, signage, vaults, manholes, and other utilities.
Furtado owns and operates a variety of Trimble, Leica, and Z&F High-Definition Laser Scanners, which gives us the ability to collect large amounts of data in a short amount of time with a high degree of accuracy and detail.
