3D Laser Scanning & Scan-to-BIM

Capture highly detailed as-built conditions with terrestrial and mobile laser scanners (LiDAR). We transform dense point cloud models into architectural Revit models, CAD blueprints, and high-definition clash detection surveys.

  • Industrial plant and facility spatial mapping
  • Accurate Revit & Scan-to-BIM conversions
  • As-built layout and clash detection surveys

Why B2B Clients Trust TerraX3D

We specialize strictly in industrial spatial engineering, providing millimetric coordinates that civil planners, builders, and mining operators rely on.

📏

Millimetric Spatial Accuracy

By tying sub-decimeter RTK drone mapping together with millimeter-accurate terrestrial scanners, we deliver verified coordinates that reduce structural layout rework.

🛡️

Zero-Strike Safety Standards

Our utility locating operations strictly conform to SUE (Subsurface Utility Engineering) guidelines. We map gas, water, power, and telecommunications before you excavate.

🏢

Scan-to-BIM & CAD Files

We don't just dump raw point clouds. We clean, register, and model spatial assets directly into editable Revit BIM models, AutoCAD DWG layouts, or shapefile databases.

Sectors We Support

Tailored B2B Spatial Services

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common inquiries about our professional spatial, GPR scanning, and engineering surveying solutions.

TerraX3D offers professional Lidar 3D laser scanning (Scan-to-BIM), GPR subsurface utility mapping, and structural concrete rebar scanning across South Africa.
Our GPR subsurface utility mapping detects both metallic and non-metallic underground pipes, gas lines, power cables, and cavities before excavation starts. This helps to prevent costly utility strikes and project delays.
We deliver spatial data in industry-standard formats including DWG (AutoCAD), RVT (Revit), LAS/LAZ (LiDAR point clouds), shapefiles (GIS), and detailed PDF reports.
Our concrete Rebar Scanner uses high-frequency radar sensors to locate reinforcing steel, post-tension cables, and electrical conduits embedded in concrete slabs or columns before drilling, coring, or cutting.
