Web-based Solution for Empowering Point Cloud Data Consolidation, Visualization and Collaboration

SOLV3D Inc.

In today's fast-paced world, developers require solutions that allow for better decision making along the project life cycle. From pre-condition surveys to post-construction as-built; having good quality data available for the project team is critical.

Empower Your Data. Enhance Your Insight
Asset Capture and Processing

Getting a complete project area data set can be difficult given the limited time and expansive nature of many project areas. Employing a third party or using in-house technologies such as mobile mapping, terrestrial scanning, UAV/drone or other sensor platforms ensures that the project area is collected to millimetre accuracies.

Often, the collection of data can be completely remote, mitigating risks associated with the site. Laser scanning allows the mapping to be done without the need for physical endangerment to take measurements with more conventional methods. These data sets include millions of points and can then be integrated with other information such as CAD, GIS and web data services.

Once the data is collected, it can be processed using your processing software or using SOLV3D Engine to remove any noise (cars, people, rain) and reduce the point cloud density to meet the needs of the team, then uploaded to Encompass to be shared and analyzed.

Time and Money Saving

Having the full project at the team’s fingertips throughout the project life cycle allows for better decision making and provides context for continual scope changes. As the project progresses additional CAD files, UAV data and point cloud information can easily be added to ensure the information is up to date and accurate and the overall scope clearly understood. and the overall scope is clearly understood. The number of site visits can be greatly reduced and the overall design process is much more efficient, streamlined and less time consuming, therefore cost savings are realized.

Although the data capture itself may seem cost-prohibitive the savings derived over the project life cycle often outweighs the initial cost (great return on investment).
Some of the benefits found by our customers include:

  • Reduced time and travel costs for site visits and data collection
  • Increased decision-making power with more complete as-builts
  • Decreased purchase redundancy across project teams
  • Better risk mitigation throughout the project and warranty period
