Overview

3D laser scanning is the fastest and most accurate way to capture the exact geometry of a building, plant, or site. Our terrestrial scanners record millions of measurement points per second, producing a dense point cloud that documents every visible surface with accuracy to ±2mm.

TruePoint Capture deploys scanning teams from Lagos to project sites across Nigeria — refineries in Port Harcourt, high-rise construction in Victoria Island, manufacturing plants in Ogun State, and infrastructure projects nationwide. Field capture is typically completed in days rather than the weeks required by manual survey methods, keeping site disruption to a minimum.

Every project is planned around your deliverables. Whether you need a registered point cloud for retrofit design, 2D drawings of an existing building, or the foundation data for a BIM model, we design the scan coverage, control network, and registration workflow to match the accuracy your engineers require.

What's Included

  • Terrestrial and tripod-mounted scanning with survey-grade instruments
  • High-density point cloud capture at up to 2 million points per second
  • Colour-mapped scan data with photographic overlays
  • Survey control integration for georeferenced deliverables
  • Scanning of live industrial sites with minimal operational disruption
  • Rapid mobilisation across Nigeria and West Africa

3D Laser Scanning — Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is 3D laser scanning?
Our terrestrial laser scanners achieve point accuracy of ±2mm under normal field conditions. Overall project accuracy depends on scan registration and control, which we verify and document in an accuracy report delivered with every project.
How long does a 3D laser scan take in Nigeria?
A typical office floor or small industrial unit can be scanned in a day. Larger facilities such as process plants or multi-storey buildings usually take two to five days on site, with processed deliverables following within one to three weeks depending on scope.
Can you scan an operating facility without shutting it down?
Yes. Laser scanning is non-contact and non-disruptive. We routinely scan live production environments, coordinating with your HSE team and scheduling captures around operations so there is no downtime.
