Site Grading and 3D Laser Scanning

SABS has worked on many projects with contoured sites where we had to work with innumerable levels. Implementing a BIM process for site design helped us with the creation of coordinated, reliable design information about the project which armoured us with an effortless approach to tackle the cut fill analysis which could have been a cumbersome process had it to be done manually on AutoCAD or other 2D software.

Modern 3D scanning processes elevate the site accuracy to new levels not achievable in conventional surveying techniques. Integration of the Point Cloud data in the site model results in an intelligent 3D model of the site. This information is readily available from the conceptual stage of the design. Such is the way in which we utilise BIM as a beneficial tool for achieving LEED points if needed by the project.
