Airborne laser scanning

Airborne laser scanning – how does it work?

Airborne laser scanning is used for large-scale topographic mapping and is the most efficient method for producing digital terrain models.

Atritec has many years of experience with this technology and is a market-leading provider of airborne laser scanning in the Nordic region.

When is airborne laser scanning used?

In projects involving roads, railways, and pipeline networks, it is essential to carry out every stage with the highest level of accuracy—especially when covering large areas. Reliable data is crucial for decision-making throughout a project, as well as for analysis and reporting. Three key reasons for using airborne laser scanning:

  • Planning and design: Gain a detailed understanding of terrain and existing infrastructure to support planning and design work.
  • Safety: Identify potential risks and hazards within infrastructure.
  • Optimized maintenance: Plan and carry out preventive maintenance more effectively.

What does airborne laser scanning from Atritec include?

At Atritec, we offer services in airborne laser scanning—a technology that enables efficient mapping of large areas and their surrounding terrain. The collected data can quickly be processed into, for example, detailed 3D models ready to be applied to your infrastructure project.

As specialists in roads, railways, and pipeline networks, we understand that measuring large geographic areas with varying terrain can be time-consuming. Learn more about our machine-based measurement services below.

Railway

Railway projects require a high level of precision compared to many other projects and often have tolerance requirements at the millimeter level. Using innovative technology, we offer a safe, fast and cost-effective way to perform geodetic measurements in the track area. All surveyors have class 1 surveyor qualifications as well as relevant safety training.

 

Previous customers: Trafikverket, NRC Group, Infrakraft, Infranord, Strukton.

 

Road

Using everything from mobile mapping, to drone surveying or traditional surveying with total stations, we help you with design surveying, as well as the creation of as-built documentation for roads of all types. We have extensive experience in road works of reconstruction of existing roads as well as new construction. With a strong customer focus, we ensure that you and all contractors involved in the project have the right conditions to carry out the project.

 

Previous customers: Trafikverket, NCC, PEAB.

Wiring network

Measure and create as-built documentation with high precision for new construction, ongoing projects and existing overhead and buried power lines with Atritec. Correctly measured power lines both minimize the risk of excavation damage to underground power lines and create good conditions for effective remediation and management work.

Previous customers: IP Only, Skanova, Netel, Transtema, Eltel

 

Why Atritec

Rapid technological development

Today's rapid technological developments have given rise to new, continuously changing demands in the construction industry — more ambitious projects, higher quality requirements, tighter budgets and time constraints. We strive to match this pace and lead the measurement industry into the future.

Time-efficient methods

Thanks to our innovative methods, we can reduce the time our measurement technicians spend in the field and instead focus on more qualitative tasks that contribute more value to your projects; enriching and adapting measurement data, creating analyses and developing digital models of the project for your needs.

The market's leading measurement services

We offer the market's leading measurement services to streamline the collection of measurement data, automate its management and processing, and simplify the creation of supporting documents and documentation.

Experienced measurement technicians

With the help of our innovative measurement services and experienced measurement technicians, large-scale projects in railways, roads and power grids that previously took several months can now be carried out in a few hours or a couple of days — with many times more and better measurement data.
