3D Reality Capture

The McLeod Engineering team use a 3D reality capture solution to document and capture the as built environment in 3D.

This improves our efficiency and productivity in the field and in the office through fast, simple-to-use, accurate, and portable hardware and software.

This allows us to then plan your lift based on actual site information in 3D AutoCad to ensure we have consider all conditions in the actual environment.

The System is:

• Highly portable, highly automated, intuitive and designed for maximum productivity.
• Capture scans, including enriching High-Dynamic Range (HDR) imagery, in less than two minutes.
• Automatically record your moves from station to station to pre-register your scans in the field without manual intervention.
• Allows us to augment the data capture with information tags illustrating the opportunities for better planning, reflect site reality, and boosting our teams’ situational awareness.

​We can then use this information prior to arrival and with the help of virtual reality show Crane Operators and Riggers the actual site they will be working on.

This allows:

• Situational awareness
• Hazard Identification
• Lift Plan Feedback

McLeod use tools such as reality capture to ensure your job goes to plan. 

Work Smarter - Using the Latest Technology

Visualise and make measurements with confidence from anywhere in the world, validate as-built condition against engineered lift plans to ensure lift safety and integrity while minimising risk and reducing costs associated with multiple onsite visits.

Other Use cases

If you would like to talk about your site and how reality capture can help you work smarter give us a call.

Reality capture is commonly used in applications like:

• Measuring As Built
• Progress Scans
• Measuring difficult build environments (Like matching boat hulls to fit outs like kitchens)
• BIM - Building Information Modeling
• Geospatial surveys and mapping
• Accident and Event Investigation
• 3D Online Photo tours
