Scan to BIM for airports, stations, depots and tunnels
Work happens in short overnight possessions, so the survey data has to be right because there is no second chance. We deliver large scale registration and clearance checked models that hold up under that pressure.
Sector snapshot
What usually drives the briefOne possession, one chance to get it right
Rail, transit and airport environments give you a fixed overnight window and nothing more. We plan capture to make the most of every possession, then register and model at a scale that spans stations, platforms and running lines.
Clearance and gauge checks are built into the modeling process so infrastructure teams can verify compliance directly from the model rather than a separate manual survey. Large sites like these depend on accurate point cloud registration before any modeling starts.
Why sector experience matters here
- Capture planned to make the most of short possession windows
- Large scale registration across stations and running lines
- Clearance and gauge checks built into the modeling process
- Experience coordinating around live operational schedules

Transport and Infrastructure questions we hear most
Straight answers so you can scope your project with confidence.
Yes. We plan the scan sequence in advance to maximise coverage within the window available and confirm feasibility before your possession is booked.
Yes. Clearance envelopes and gauge checks can be built directly into the model, so compliance can be verified without a separate manual survey process.
Yes. We regularly register large infrastructure sites into one coordinated network, tied to your survey control or a national coordinate system.
Yes. Our field partners work to the safety briefing and competency requirements of rail and airside environments, and we plan projects around them from the start.
