Technical Drawings
Technical Drawings
Clear Site Representation
Technical drawings in engineering are designed to provide a clear representation of the site. The technical drawings created for site planning purposes are typically made with CAD and mapping software to ensure a high degree of accuracy, allowing planning to be completed without error.
The type of information that is included in these drawings may include things such as utility layouts (water, sewer, storm drain), building locations, topography/grade information, and the layout of walkways and drives. These drawings can also be used to show proposed changes to the site.
When the work on-site is completed, it is imperative to maintain the information stored in any technical drawings created via CAD software used for construction planning purposes. This also helps engineers keep track of what has been completed on a project and make adjustments as needed.
3D visualisations can be used in a variety of ways. For instance, they might be used to assess the impact of new buildings or structures on the surrounding environment, which helps engineers to make changes that reduce any potential damage.
3D modelling can also be used to create visualisations that show how proposed structures might look once they are built. They can also be used as part of public consultations as they allow people to see what the results would look like in the real world, rather than as „flat” maps on a page.
This is particularly useful for planning purposes because it allows engineers to make changes to their designs before committing to building them, which reduces time and costs.
A 3D modelling system also allows engineers to create more accurate images and visualisations that can be used for risk assessment purposes.
Laser scanning is an excellent choice for creating accurate 3D scans which provide detailed information about how different parts of a structure, such as a building or other structures, fit together.
Maps and plans are produced to scale, designed to show the details of the environment accurately. Accuracy is vital as these plans may be used to calculate flood risks, resolve boundary disputes, and many other uses.
Topographical surveys are commonly used for planning the construction of roads, railways, pipelines, etc. and can help inform the placement of buildings within a construction area.
Topo maps are created by a topographer taking measurements of the land, including all physical features, and producing a map to the specification required. Contour lines showing changes in ground elevations concerning distance or direction will be included.
Cad & Mapping
Engineers are often called upon to use computer-aided design (CAD) and mapping technology to plan, design, and construct a community’s infrastructure. The increasing complexity of construction projects has led to a significant expansion in CAD and mapping services beyond site layouts for roads, water systems, sewers, storm drains, and other utilities; now, more comprehensive solutions are available that include geotechnical investigations such as 3D modelling of subsurface conditions.
We work with architects & planners during the initial phases of development to create detailed drawings from our data to save time & money throughout the project lifecycle. Our staff members are trained in all aspects of surveying, including creating floor plans, utility locating, and other services used during phases of project pre-construction, such as topographical/site plan surveys. Our data capture is conducted by professionals experienced in construction surveying operations with many years of experience in the field.
Highly Accurate 3d Point Clouds
In the past, these types of projects would have been difficult or impossible because they require manual surveying skills. However, there is less need for expensive equipment with laser scanning, and the results can be obtained and analysed more easily.
The main benefit of laser scanning is that it produces highly accurate 3D point cloud. This data can then be used to create a wide range of visualisations, which can be helpful for engineers and designers alike.
