Laser Scanning - Structures

Ireland has shown strong growth in the last few years and one of the major contributing factors for this growth has been the National Development Plan. Major civil engineering projects have been completed through Transport 21 and many more are due to start.

A structure which benefited from Laser scanning is a large mushroom shaped water storage tower located in North County Dublin, constructed adjacent to the M50 motorway. This structure is tall and the shape prohibits an as built survey being carried out using conventional methods.

Another example included is a recently completed bridge on the M7 motorway running south west from Dublin to Limerick. The image included is rendered for the purpose of presentation. It is important to bear in mind that the bridge itself is a physically surveyed entity from which accurate measurements can be taken without traffic movements.
