ScanTech
International is a relatively new company, which was established in 2002 to
provide a professional 3D laser scanning survey service. The company is based
in Macclesfield and we can provide a UK wide service for topographical surveys,
building and structure surveys in the rail, highway and process plant environment.
We work to a quality management system that complies with ISO 9001:2000 and we are currently working towards formal accreditation.
Since inception, we have grown in size and we now employ six people in total, five of who can capture the data and produce the engineering deliverable. We are committed to our staff development programme and have this year gained “Investors in People” accreditation.
We now own two laser scanners, a HDS 2500 and a HDS 3000. The new Leica HDS 3000 can capture 2000 points per second with a 360° x 270° field of view and 5mm accuracy over 50m range. We have developed the laser scanning technique in conjunction with several customers and our ability to capture data in various technical environments and produce accurate engineering deliverables is second to none.
Traditionally
engineering and construction methods rely on engineers collecting and assembling
information from existing drawings and taking many manual field measurements.
These tedious and time-consuming activities, historically, expose projects
to unacceptable schedule and financial risks because of inaccurate data. Today,
as-built 3D laser scanning technology offers a very cost-effective solution
for both the 2D or 3D as-built retrofit project. Scantech International works
with this technology in both industrial and civil applications and offers
a complete and proven implementation as-built package.
We produce the required deliverables in a number of CAD formats and can also produce cross sections of structures (overbridges, tunnels & platforms) in SCO format for electronic input into the Clearroute gauging software.
