Clear Data for Better Project Decisions
At UDM, we deliver reality capture in Australia for projects that need a detailed digital record of existing conditions. By combining laser scanning, imagery and spatial data, we can document structures, sites and assets for design coordination, verification, planning and ongoing asset information. Reality capture reduces reliance on isolated manual measurements by recording a dense dataset that can be reviewed after fieldwork. Depending on the project, outputs may support point clouds, three-dimensional models and other digital workflows used by engineering and construction teams. Our surveying and spatial services can complement this work where conventional control, set-out or additional spatial information is required. Contact us on (03) 6171 2555 to discuss the required level of detail and output.
How Our Reality Capture Service Works
Reality capture brings several forms of measured site information into a detailed digital record. Laser scanning creates dense point clouds across structures, facilities and other complex environments. Recorded data can support verification where drawings are incomplete or conditions have changed. Captured geometry can feed models used for design coordination, planning and communication. Digital capture also creates a dataset teams can revisit without relying solely on photographs or isolated field measurements.
Common questions
- What is reality capture?
- Reality capture records existing physical conditions digitally using methods such as laser scanning and photography. The resulting datasets can support measurement, modelling, documentation and design coordination.
- What is a point cloud?
- A point cloud is a dense collection of spatially measured points representing surfaces and objects in three dimensions. It can form the basis for models, measurements and other digital deliverables.
- When is reality capture useful?
- Reality capture is useful when a project needs a detailed record of existing structures, assets or site conditions. It can support design, verification, refurbishment planning and asset documentation.
Other services
Projects often need more than one method. Explore the rest of our capability, or contact our team to discuss a combined scope.
Surveying & Spatial
Our surveyors set the control, levels and measured detail that design and construction work relies on.
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.
