Statement of QUALIRCATIONS LASER SCANNING (LiDAR) Laser scanning technology (also referred to Light Detection and Range [LiDAR]) has transformed the surveying and mapping industry. WLG is at the forefront of these advances including providing three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning services. 3D laser scanning provides clients with a higher -quality product at a significant cost savings based on the higher accuracy, resolution of the product. Types of projects that benefit from 3D laser scanning include: Airports/Runways Active Transportation (Bikeways, Pedestrian, Trails) o Business/Commerce Centers + Commercial/Retail Centers + Educational Facilities (New, Modernizations, Renovations) + Energy (Pipelines, Solar) + Hospitals and Detention Centers + Mixed -Use Development + On-Call/As-Needed Contract Services + Ports and Harbors + Parks/Recreation 8 Public Works (New Facilities, Infrastructure, Improvements) + Rail Corridors (Railways, Transit, Grade Separations) + Waterways + Residential (Master Planning, Community Planning) + Transportation (Bridges, Highways, Rail, Roadways, Streets, Traffic Control) + Utilities (Sewer, Water, Storm Drains, Electrical Infrastructure, Improvements, New Facilities) WLG's 3D laser scanners collect points to produce a very dense and accurate collection of individual measurements known as a point cloud. HD laser scanning can measure existing buildings (inside and outside), structures, as well as existing topography. The measurements are then placed into a 2D or 3D CAD model for testing and verifying the accuracy of the spatial information. Reliable designs and as-builts require this accurate representation of existing conditions. WLG's experts in 3D design apply Building Information Modeling (BIM) to civil site plans West LAN D Group, Inc. lmgmeumg I Geosparial I I, and planning to then create a highly -accurate virtual 3D site model.
