Laser scanning · Surveying · EU/CH handover

Measure first. Build with fewer surprises.

We scan factories, terminals, plants and infrastructure before drawings drift too far from the site. The result: controlled point clouds, 3D models and Scan-to-BIM documentation that can move cleanly through European and Swiss project workflows.

Work scope

Surveying, scanning and models under one roof

01

3D Laser Scanning

Terrestrial and mobile scans for halls, plants and engineering structures. Clean point clouds for inspection, measurements, modelling and awkward retrofit questions.

  • TLS
  • Mobile
  • Point cloud
02

Aerial Mapping

UAV flights for orthophotos, 3D meshes, terrain models and vector maps. Useful when the site is too wide, too busy or too expensive to measure only from the ground.

  • UAV
  • Orthophoto
  • DTM/DSM
03

Engineering Surveying

Setting-out, control checks, as-built surveys and monitoring from foundations to handover. The work is practical: crews, coordinates, tolerances, reports.

  • Setting-out
  • Monitoring
  • As-built
04

Geoinformatics & BIM

Scan-to-BIM, sections, maps and engineering analysis built from measured data, then delivered in the environment your team already uses.

  • Scan-to-BIM
  • 3D models
  • GIS

Method

A clean handover starts on site

The model is only as reliable as the control, registration and handover behind it — especially when several countries, standards and software stacks meet in one project.

  1. 01

    Field capture

    Terrestrial, mobile or UAV capture chosen for the site, not for the brochure: a single hall, a road corridor, or a full industrial complex.

  2. 02

    Registered point cloud

    Every station is registered, cleaned and tied to the right coordinate system so the cloud behaves like project data, not a pretty picture.

    up to 2M pts/sec
  3. 03

    Mesh & NURBS

    Meshes and NURBS surfaces are derived from the cloud where geometry matters: tanks, hulls, pipework, facades and irregular structures.

  4. 04

    Scan-to-BIM

    As-built BIM models are built to the agreed standard, with clash checks, sections and drawings for review by distributed engineering teams.

    LOD-ready
  5. 05

    Delivery

    Handover can be open point clouds, ReCap projects, BIM files or browser access. The folder structure matters when data crosses teams and borders.

For project teams with strict handover habits

When a survey package has to pass through German-speaking review, Swiss documentation discipline or EU procurement checks, the work needs to be legible beyond the field crew. Fotokart delivers measured data with that handover in mind.

BIM without theatre

Measured as-built models, not decorative 3D: geometry, coordinates and files your delivery team can check in a formal review.

Your software stack

Autodesk, Bentley, Leica/Hexagon and open formats. We fit the mandated workflow instead of forcing another tool into the chain.

Paperwork in order

EU UAV operator categories A1/A2/A3, insurance context and project documentation available for client-side checks.

Practical cross-border work

Szczecin is roughly 1.5 hours from Berlin, with a field setup suited to German, wider EU and Swiss-led project teams.

Send the site problem

A hall, a tank, a road corridor, a plant room, a structure nobody fully trusts on paper. Send the brief and we will suggest the measurement route.
