EP #083: Laser Scanning’s Role in Concrete Construction
In this episode, Seth interviews Leo Zhang, a virtual
construction manager and chair of ACI 117 subcommittee 117 L, who discusses using laser scanning in concrete construction. He explains that laser scanning is a form of
reality capture that uses an optical instrument to collect dimensional information and create a 3D point cloud model.
Laser scanning is used in various stages of construction,
including pre-construction planning, quality assurance, and as-built documentation. While laser scanning has many benefits, such as detecting clashes and ensuring accuracy, there are still limitations and challenges to
overcome. Overall, laser scanning is a valuable tool that complements other surveying methods in the construction industry.
