3D Laser Scanning for Civil & Infrastructure | Australia
Infrastructure assets need geometry that matches field conditions: bridge soffits, culvert invert levels, road corridors, retaining walls, and drainage networks. Traditional pick-up is slow on complex structures. Laser scanning captures millions of points in hours, giving engineers a complete record for assessment, design, and asset management.
Brisbane Point Cloud supports consultants and contractors on SEQ transport projects, water infrastructure, ports, and regional bridge stock. We combine terrestrial scanning for structures with UAV LiDAR or photogrammetry for corridors and terrain.
Challenges
- Limited access windows on live roads and rail corridors
- Complex geometry on bridges, culverts, and retaining structures
- Integration with existing survey control and GDA2020 datums
- Vegetation and water limiting line-of-sight on corridors
- Deliverables required in CAD, GIS, and point cloud formats
How we serve this sector
- Bridge and structure scans for condition assessment and load rating inputs
- Road and rail corridor mapping with drone or mobile capture
- Topographic surveys for earthworks and drainage design
- Tunnel and culvert internal geometry documentation
- Export to LAS, DXF, 12d, and Civil 3D compatible workflows
Typical projects
Bridge deck and soffit condition survey
Road upgrade corridor topographic mapping
Drainage network invert and pit documentation
Port berth and wharf structure as-built
Retaining wall alignment and settlement monitoring baseline
FAQs: Civil & Infrastructure
Can you work to our survey control network?+
Yes. We use your existing control points or establish new marks tied to MGA94 or GDA2020 as specified. All deliverables are registered to the datum and projection in your scope so they drop into your 12d or Civil 3d project without manual shift.
Do you scan live traffic corridors?+
We plan captures around traffic management and rail possession windows. Terrestrial scanning from the shoulder or closed lane is common. For long corridors, drone LiDAR or photogrammetry reduces time on road and captures terrain context in one flight.
