Infrastructure
Linear assets and civil works
Canals, galleries, tunnels, bridges, roads, stations and any environment where real geometry drives maintenance, refurbishment or extension.
Service · Metric capture
3D laser scanning for existing assets in Spain.
We capture buildings, plants, infrastructure and heritage sites with 3D laser scanning, SLAM and survey control, producing point clouds that are reliable, measurable and ready for technical production. We work across the whole of Spain, from Madrid to the Canary Islands, on a fixed quote that includes travel.

When you need to measure reality, not interpret it.
Laser scanning records the asset as it stands, not as a drawing says it should. The scanner captures the geometry with every irregularity, clash, deformation, fall and service run — precisely the things that are rarely documented properly — and hands it over as a point cloud: millions of coordinates your team can measure against with confidence, without flying anyone back out to site.
Industry
Plants and installations
Surveys of pipework, equipment, plant rooms, structures and service routes, cutting down site visits, setting-out errors and coordination clashes.
Heritage
Accurate documentation
Metric records of historic buildings, singular elements and complex spaces for conservation, restoration, research and public interpretation.
SLAM RTK plus drone with GCPs for Vigo City Council.
Urban heritage survey in Vigo for the Concello de Vigo (Vigo City Council), combining an RTK SLAM scanner (Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro) with a drone flight positioned on ground control points, to produce a single high-resolution combined point cloud.
Data that is ready to work with.
Capture does not end at the scanner. We process, register, clean and hand over the information in formats each discipline can actually use.
Registered point cloud
- Delivered in the usual formats — E57, LAS, LAZ, RCP or PTS — to suit your workflow.
- Organised by area, station or level so it drops straight into technical software.
- Georeferenced where it has to tie into survey control, GIS or official coordinates.
Derived production
- Sections, elevations, floor plans and measurements.
- A base for as-built BIM, IFC/RVT models, orthophotos and CAD drawings.
- Web visualisation, so technical and non-technical reviewers can look at the same data.
From physical asset to usable data.
We choose the capture system on accuracy, range, access, deliverables and what the point cloud will be used for afterwards. If you want to see it from the inside, we have explained how a laser pulse becomes a 3D model stage by stage.
01
Technical brief
We review areas, objectives, tolerances, formats, coordinate systems and access restrictions.
02
Site capture
We select terrestrial scanner, SLAM, drone or a combination, according to the asset and the environment.
03
Registration and checks
We merge scans, filter noise, verify consistency and prepare the data for delivery.
04
Derived production
We produce as-built BIM models, meshes, orthophotos, sections and drawings against the agreed deliverable list.
05
Delivery on the platform
Access to the web viewer with the point cloud, plus file downloads in the formats you need.
Tripod, SLAM, or both combined.
We do not use one scanner for everything: cloud density, capture speed and physical access decide which system makes sense, and we frequently combine several on the same survey.
Tripod-mounted terrestrial scanner
- Maximum point density and accuracy per station, ideal for fine detail and critical elements.
- Requires setting up and chaining positions; slower across very large areas.
- Our default for documenting water and industrial infrastructure.
Handheld SLAM
- Captures on the move, with no set-up; walks corridors, stairs and tight spaces.
- Much faster over large areas or long routes, with slightly lower density per point.
- The system we use on urban heritage (Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro) and on property scanning.
Questions about 3D laser scanning.
How accurate is 3D laser scanning?
Our terrestrial LIDAR scanners reach a nominal accuracy of ±0.02 cm under controlled conditions, with GNSS RTK georeferencing or a tie-in to the project survey network where the works require it.
Can you work in the coordinate system our project uses?
Yes. Spanish projects normally work in ETRS89 with UTM zones 29N to 31N, and we georeference to that by default. If your team works in a different system, or needs a local project grid, we agree the transformation up front so deliverables land in the reference frame your own models already use.
Which formats is the point cloud delivered in?
We deliver the point cloud in E57, LAS, LAZ, RCP and PTS, organised by area, station or level, and compatible with Revit, AutoCAD, ReCap, Cyclone and GIS software.
What is the difference between a terrestrial scanner and SLAM?
A tripod-mounted terrestrial scanner gives maximum density and accuracy; a SLAM system captures continuously while walking, with no set-up between stations. We pick one, the other, or both, according to the asset and the environment.
