3D LASER SCANNING TECHNOLOGY:
KEY IN PRESERVING HISTORIC STRUCTURES AFTER SOUTH NAPA EARTHQUAKE
How 3DVDT Uses 3D Laser Scanning for Historic Preservation
3D laser scanning captures millions of precise measurement points to build an accurate, non-contact digital record of a structure—invaluable when historic fabric is fragile or a building has been damaged. These point clouds and BIM models give architects, engineers, and preservationists a reliable source of truth for condition assessment, structural analysis, and planning sensitive repairs. Across the San Francisco Bay Area, 3DVDT provides survey-grade reality capture and Scan-to-BIM for heritage structures and post-event documentation.
