<br />Surveying and Mapping
<br />CGA is an industry leader in applying 3D Laser Scanning technology to real-world applications. Similar to a
<br />camera but much more detailed, laser scanning involves the capture of digital information that can be processed
<br />into point cloud data and used by a variety of software platforms such as AutoCAD and Revit. The benefits
<br />of laser scanning include the ability to obtain large amounts of survey data in a non-contact environment.
<br />CGA is using this methodology and a Trimble X7 Laser Scanner to capture survey data of building facades for
<br />hurricane hardening applications. Multiple 3D scans are taken around a building from ground level to the roof
<br />and processed into an overall point cloud, which enables the end user to measure window/door openings,
<br />structural columns, roof overhangs, facia and soffits.
