1 Coogee Chemicals, Kwinana

RM Surveys was engaged to provide precise laser scanning for a 2.5km pipe run and surrounding infrastructure, where no accurate as-built documentation existed.

Using advanced laser scanning technology, we created a detailed colourised point cloud that allowed the consultant to easily differentiate between services.

This high-resolution 3D model provided the essential spatial data needed for informed decision-making and seamless engineering design of new pipe runs.

2 Broome’s New Town Beach Jetty

RM Surveys was engaged by SMC Marine to provide site surveying for the new jetty at Town Beach in Broome, overcoming challenging tidal conditions with up to 10m fluctuations.

Using advanced laser scanning technology, we delivered precise data to support the construction.

With extensive experience in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions, RM Surveys offers a broad range of services, including mining, cadastral subdivisions, UAV surveys, and laser scanning, making us the trusted partner for remote projects.

3 Broome Senior High School

RM Surveys utilised advanced laser scanning technology for Crothers Construction’s upgrade of Broome Senior High School, which included a new STEM building, commercial kitchen, cultural area, and bike storage.

Our laser scanning services ensured precise data collection for setting out earthworks, utility services, footings, and concrete floors, providing the accuracy needed for such a large-scale project.

With extensive experience in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions, RM Surveys delivers expert surveying solutions, including laser scanning, to meet the unique demands of remote construction projects.

4 Perth Zoo Enclosures

RM Surveys utilised laser scanning technology to assist Perth Zoo in the redevelopment of animal exhibits.

For this project, we provided a 3D laser scan and model of a large rock to assess its suitability for animal use, as well as a detailed scan of the African Lion exhibit, capturing contours, services, hardscaping, and structures.

These precise 3D models enabled the zoo to design accurate extensions and improvements, demonstrating the value of laser scanning in creating tailored, detailed plans for unique environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is laser scanning, and how does it work?

Laser scanning is a technology that uses light in the form of a laser to capture accurate 3D measurements of structures and environments. It works by emitting light that measure distances and generate 3D point clouds, creating a precise digital representation of the area scanned.

What are the benefits of laser scanning for my project?

Laser scanning offers enhanced accuracy, speed, and efficiency compared to traditional surveying methods. It reduces project risks, lowers costs by minimising errors, and provides detailed 3D datasets that are essential for planning, feasibility, construction, and design.

Which industries can benefit from laser scanning services?

Laser scanning is widely used in industries such as construction, engineering, mining, and heritage preservation. It provides critical data for infrastructure projects, building surveys, environmental monitoring, and more, ensuring precise measurements for complex projects.

How accurate is laser scanning compared to traditional survey methods?

Terrestrial laser scanning can provide highly accurate measurements if conducted correctly. When conducted terrestrially, you can maintain accuracies of +/- 2mm, which is repeatable and reliable. It can efficiently capture complex details, making it a superior option for projects with access restrictions, such as large-scale construction, medical precincts, or public centres.
