Surveying & Spatial
Our surveyors set the control, levels and measured detail that design and construction work relies on.
Mobile Laser Scanning in Australia
Laser scanners carried on the move record roads, corridors and built assets as measured 3D data.

Measured 3D Data Captured on the Move
At UDM, we provide mobile laser scanning in Australia for projects that need existing conditions recorded across long corridors and large sites. Laser scanners collect dense measurements of surfaces, structures and features while the equipment moves along the survey route, building a detailed record of the site as it stands. Our surveyors register the scan data to project control so it can be used alongside other measured information. Where a project needs detailed capture of a specific structure or interior, our reality capture service can add a closer view. Discuss the corridor, the site and the outputs you need by calling (03) 6171 2555.
How Our Mobile Laser Scanning Service Works
We plan each scan around the route, access and the level of detail the project requires. We collect data along the corridor, then process it into point clouds that represent the captured surfaces in three dimensions. Survey control ties the data to a known reference so measurements stay consistent with design and survey information. Processed outputs can support CAD, GIS and modelling workflows for planning, design and asset management. Mobile capture can also reduce the time spent working on foot in active road and corridor environments.
Common questions
- What is mobile laser scanning?
- Mobile laser scanning collects 3D measurements of surroundings using scanners that move along a route. The result is a point cloud representing surfaces and features captured during the survey.
- What is mobile laser scanning used for?
- It suits roads, rail and other corridors, as well as large sites where existing conditions need recording efficiently. The data can support design, planning and asset records.
- How accurate is mobile laser scan data?
- Accuracy depends on the equipment, survey control, site conditions and processing method. Tying scan data to surveyed control helps keep measurements consistent across a project.
Other services
Projects often need more than one method. Explore the rest of our capability, or contact our team to discuss a combined scope.
Reality Capture
Laser scanning records a structure or site as measurable three-dimensional data.
UAV / LiDAR
Aerial capture records terrain, stockpiles and assets that are difficult to reach from the ground.
Ground Penetrating Radar
Our radar traces buried services, voids and structural features before a project breaks ground.
Utility Locating
Electromagnetic locating and radar help identify buried services before excavation or design starts.
Concrete Scanning
We locate reinforcement, conduits and post-tension cables before anyone cuts, cores or drills.
CCTV Pipe Inspections
A camera run through a pipe or drain shows the condition of the line from the inside.
