3D Scanning in Concrete Construction: Workflow Guide

This guide compares the 3D reality capture process with more conventional methods of measuring concrete slabs to assess FF/FL specifications.

  • Why concrete construction verification using the FARO® Focus Laser Scanner and BuildIT Construction Software is superior to traditional methods.
  • How using a 3D data capture solution allows work crews to patch up any identified dips and swells while the concrete is still workable — saving you time and money.
  • An illustrated side-by-side comparison of the 3D Data Capture workflow vs. traditional methods.

“Concrete is probably the best application of the scanner. I can see the appeal for GCs wanting to document their work, it carries over from what we want to do. We’re using it on the front-end side of the job to control or inform our logistics, so that we don’t get in a bad situation.”
