Delivering a millimeter-precise 3D experience

Maps, photo-realistic images, movies and models of your site

You are faced with complex projects where a traditional survey doesn’t tell the whole story.Welcome to a new approach to surveying, mapping and visualization.Unlike traditional surveys that only collect predetermined site features, our High Definition (HD) survey uses a precision laser to map all of the features on a site.An HDsurvey from GlobalMind gives you a complete 3D model of your site, with millimeter accuracy.It costs about the same as a traditional survey, but can be done in half the time. The survey can be delivered to you as a 3D “fly-through” model to powerfully communicate site conditions, a traditional 2D map to show site dimensions or anything in between.

Visualize results with an HDsurvey

With an HDsurvey you can get maps, photo-realistic images, movies and models of your site. The methods for delivering the information are as diverse as the applications themselves. From conventional 2D survey line drawings to 3D “fly-through” models and time series movies, the presentation of the survey can be tailored fit to your specific needs and target audience.

HDsurvey Applications

Civil Engineering and Transportation

As-built surveys are a thing of the past. Capture the entire project, from busy intersections to hard to reach bridges and utilities, obtain accurate volume calculations and check against site plans in a fraction of the time of traditional surveys.Our HDsurveying system allows for data collection without shutting down traffic thereby avoiding costly lane closures and motorist aggravation. We can give you more information than you’ve ever had before while keeping our surveyors out of harm’s way.

Litigation

Just the facts. From accident reconstruction to crime scene analysis, 3D HDsurvey models tell it like it is. Take jurors on a virtual tour of a crime scene, perform line of sight/fire analysis or reconstruct an accident from the witness stand. We take you beyond mapping and into the courtroom with expert testimony by our licensed surveyors who boil-down the technical jargon into plain English.

Architecture

Show it like it is. Modeling complex building facades is easier and more accurate than ever with an HDsurvey. Create 3D models of existing structures before designing retrofits or neighboring buildings. Perform structural monitoring to identify deformation over time. Model historic design elements for preservation or re-creation.

Development

High definition surveys (HDsurvey) deliver an accurate representation of a job site, from pre-construction surveys to as-built locations of constructed improvements. ALTA/ACSM boundary surveys, volume and material calculations, road and utility as-builds and topographic surveys are common applications for HDsurveying.

Industrial Engineering

The more complex the better. 3D surveying can show piping, electrical or HVAC systems down to the smallest detail. Stockpiles, production facilities and dangerous or hard to reach structures are captured instantly in a 3D HDsurvey model. By measuring remotely, you will avoid costly plant shutdowns and loss of productivity.
