    Laser Scanning, Point Cloud Surveys & BIM-Ready Models

    Arthian delivers fast, safe and precise 3D laser scanning services for industrial, infrastructure and high-hazard sites across the UK. Our scans generate dense point cloud data that can be transformed into 2D drawings, 3D models, BIM datasets and visualisations—supporting planning, design, asset management and regulatory compliance.
     
    We help clients reduce site time, avoid confined space entry, and capture inaccessible or hazardous environments with millimetre-level accuracy.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is 3D laser scanning?

    3D laser scanning uses LiDAR technology to capture millions of spatial data points, creating a precise digital representation of structures, terrain or assets.

    What is a point cloud?

    A point cloud is a collection of 3D data points captured during scanning. It forms the basis for CAD drawings, BIM models and digital twins.

    Can you scan inaccessible or hazardous areas?

    Yes—our scanners can operate remotely, and we use drones and mobile mapping to capture data from confined or elevated spaces.

    Do you provide scan-to-BIM services?

    Absolutely. We convert point cloud data into BIM-ready models for use in Revit, IFC and other formats—ideal for design, retrofit and asset management.
