Leica Geosystems' product family not only includes powerful and versatile time-of-flight ranging systems such as the new Leica ScanStation 2 but also features ultra-high-speed, phased-based ranging systems, the Leica HDS6000. This portfolio of products becomes complete with Leica Cyclone and Leica CloudWorx software, providing a full set of Leica-quality geo-referencing, surveying, and CAD integrated engineering tools for creating accurate deliverables and managing large scan data sets with unparalleled ease.
High-Definition Surveying not only offers many benefits to the measurement professional, but to the recipients and users of accurate spatial datasets. Civil engineers, plant designers, CAD professionals, architects, contractors, and owner/operators can all reap the cost and added-value benefits that HDS provides.
Cost Saving Benefits
HDS systems can provide significant cost savings in many ways:
- Lower cost as-built & topographic surveys
- Reduction or elimination of costly "return visits" to the site
- More accurate, complete as-builts for retrofit design projects translate into better retrofit designs. These translate, in turn, into (1) less construction rework due to interferences and fit-up problems and (2) the ability to factory-fabricate instead of field-fabricate.
- Reduced facility downtime due to (1) fast, unobtrusive scene capture and/or (2) minimal field fit-up, field fabrication, and field rework thanks to accurate as-builts
