Engineering Surveys, Point Cloud Technology and Scan-to-CAD Applications in Far North Queensland The Importance of Accurate Existing-Condition Information Industrial and commercial engineering projects frequently involve modifications to existing buildings, mechanical equipment, structural systems and infrastructure. In Cairns and across Far North Queensland, these projects may include industrial facility upgrades, commercial building refurbishments, port infrastructure maintenance and the replacement of ageing mechanical equipment. A significant challenge in these environments is establishing accurate information about existing site conditions before engineering design begins. Historical engineering drawings may be incomplete, outdated or inconsistent with modifications undertaken during a facility's operational life. 3D LiDAR scanning provides an effective method of capturing existing geometry , creating detailed digital records that can be used for engineering analysis, CAD mode...
