Comparing LiDAR Scanning to Traditional Surveying Methods

LiDAR scanning represents a significant shift from traditional surveying practices. While manual methods have long been used, LiDAR provides clear advantages in accuracy and efficiency.

• Speed – Scans collect millions of points in minutes, far faster than manual surveying.
• Detail – High-resolution imaging offers more comprehensive site coverage.
• Safety – Reduces human exposure to hazardous environments.
• Consistency – Produces repeatable, standardized results across projects.
• Versatility – Can be applied to land, buildings, and complex environments.

For many professionals, the benefits of LiDAR scanning outweigh older methods, offering a modern approach to site documentation.
