Delivery of NavVis VLX 2nd Generation Mobile Scanner
Engineering Surveys have recently taken delivery of a 2nd Generation NavVis VLX Mobile Scanning System and have put it to work on two current projects.
The results to date are extremely impressive both in terms of the absolute point cloud accuracy and the resolution achievable in a short observation period. The “richness” of the point cloud and lack of noise makes the output extremely easy to use for Scan to CAD or Scan to BIM applications…… More to follow.
Congratulations to Mike, now a Chartered Land Surveyor
