Overview
Xradar provides precise, 3D spatial documentation of existing buildings, infrastructure, and construction sites through laser scanning, also known as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). This method involves emitting laser pulses and measuring their return time to map surfaces with exceptional accuracy. The result is a dense point cloud a digital dataset capturing the as-built geometry of any environment.
Benefits
Real World Applications of Laser Scanning
Xradar’s laser scanning method enhances accuracy, reduces manual measurement errors, and supports collaboration across disciplines.
Core applications include:
As-Built Verification. Capture the exact layout and condition of existing structures to validate construction progress or to update outdated plans essential for renovations, change tracking, and project close-outs.
Pre-Design Concrete Scanning. Laser scanning is combined with GPR scanning to produce detailed pre-pour layouts of in-slab targets such as rebar and conduits. This supports conflict-free space planning, core hole positioning, and design validation before any concrete is poured. Learn how we helped Union Station, Toronto with our pre-design process. Smart space planning enables the design team to formulate ideas and evaluate design concepts without the requirement to revisit down the line. This can then be viewed via a Virtual Construction Site Walkthrough.
Design & BIM Integration. Feed accurate scan data directly into BIM platforms to reduce clashes and enhance coordination between disciplines.
Construction Progress Monitoring. Generate scheduled scans throughout the project lifecycle to document and validate completed work, reducing disputes and improving milestone tracking.
Xradar Pre-Pour Documentation (Sitewalk, or Inspection Checklist).
Capture accurate slab conditions before concrete is poured. This supports quality assurance, dispute resolution, and future scanning comparisons.
