Laser Scan – School Buildings

Laser Scanning – School Interiors and exterior Elevations

Geospatial Engineering Services Ltd was commissioned to produce high-detail drawings of a multi-wing school building ahead of renovation and cladding works. Due to work being carried out during term-time, we deployed the Leica BLK360 2nd Gen. laser scanner on-site for it’s exceptional speed.

Scope of Survey

  • Full scanning of all interior rooms and the external elevations
  • Capture of windows, doors, decorative features and service fixtures
  • Geo-referencing to site control for CAD alignment

The survey of the interiors was undertaken partly outside school hours to ensure both safety and uninterrupted capture of clean, clutter-free scans.

Technology in Action

The BLK 360 enabled us to:

  • Scan with 360° coverage and minimal repositioning
  • Produce dense point clouds for detailed surface extraction
  • Minimise time on-site while maximising scan quality

Deliverables

  • 2D plan, section and elevation drawings in DWG & PDF
  • Point cloud (.e57 / .las) for BIM and modelling

Outcome

The outputs will allow the design team to accurately assess structural conditions, proportions, and upgrade potential.
