NDTScan provides advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions tailored for trimble. Our services ensure accurate, compliant, and efficient diagnostics across all sectors, from aerospace to infrastructure. With cutting-edge equipment and over a decade of experience, we deliver certified inspections that minimise downtime and maximise safety. Trust NDTScan for reliable, data-driven reporting that enhances your decision-making and operational excellence.
NDTScan deploys high-precision LiDAR and total station systems from Trimble — a global leader in geospatial innovation. From structural as-built capture to high-accuracy topographic modelling, Trimble’s technology allows us to document the built environment with survey-grade precision across infrastructure, utilities, and industrial projects. Whether scanning bridges, measuring façade deviation, or verifying anchor placement, Trimble delivers reliable, high-density data with millimetre-level accuracy.
Trimble’s integrated workflows bridge the gap between site and office, enabling us to deliver trusted spatial outputs faster. We use Trimble hardware and software when accuracy, geospatial alignment, and multi-sensor control are non-negotiable — providing clients with verified deliverables ready for BIM, GIS, and compliance documentation.
Continuous Innovation in Geospatial LiDAR Capture
Trimble leads in fusing scanning, surveying, and spatial modelling into one seamless platform. Systems like the SX10 offer LiDAR capture, imaging, and robotic total station capabilities in a single device — allowing us to switch between visual inspection, point cloud acquisition, and precise point measurement with zero reconfiguration. This flexibility is invaluable for structural engineers, civil contractors, and infrastructure owners alike.
Our Trimble Scanning and Survey Equipment
- Trimble SX10: A game-changing hybrid instrument combining 3D laser scanning, high-resolution imaging, and robotic total station functions. Ideal for structural validation, deformation analysis, and long-range measurements.
- Trimble X7: Compact, fast-deploying laser scanner with automatic calibration and real-time registration. Perfect for mid-sized indoor and outdoor site documentation.
- TBC (Trimble Business Center): Our primary processing suite for data alignment, point cloud management, and export to CAD, GIS, and BIM environments.
- Trimble Access + FieldLink: Real-time field control and layout software — used during live construction or scan verification workflows with tablet-driven control.
- GNSS Integration: Where required, we integrate RTK/GNSS correction for georeferenced data capture on open-air or long-span survey projects.
Why We Use Trimble
Trimble systems are built for environments where positional accuracy, repeatability, and traceability are critical. We rely on Trimble for jobs that demand control points, verified tolerances, and integrated geospatial referencing — particularly on sites where scan data must directly feed design, engineering, or regulatory workflows. From civil infrastructure to structural retrofit validation, Trimble gives us unmatched confidence in the numbers.
Other Tools in Use
We also operate FARO and NavVis systems for mobile mapping, indoor documentation, and high-speed digital twin delivery. But when survey-grade control, long-range targeting, or multi-sensor hybrid workflows are required — Trimble remains our trusted tool of choice.
Survey-Grade Spatial Data for Complex Environments
At NDTScan, spatial accuracy isn’t a luxury — it’s a requirement. Whether we’re validating critical anchor positions on a high-rise core, capturing deformation in a railway viaduct, or providing as-built documentation for industrial pipework, we deliver survey-grade geospatial data that clients can trust.
In today’s built environment, decisions hinge on millimetre-accurate information. That’s why we deploy integrated scanning and total station systems that fuse 3D laser capture, imaging, and high-precision measurement into a single workflow. The result? Faster data acquisition, reduced site time, and deliverables that align seamlessly with BIM, GIS, and CAD models.
Where We Add the Most Value
1. Structural Validation and Retrofit Workflows
When structural engineers need to confirm geometry, tolerances, or deflections, we provide high-resolution scans and control-point verification. This is especially critical on retrofit projects, where original drawings are outdated, or in-situ conditions have changed.
By creating real-world digital replicas, we allow engineers to overlay design models, identify deviation from planned geometry, and plan corrective action with confidence. This avoids clashes, rework, and costly onsite surprises.
2. Topographic and Terrain Modelling
We capture open-air sites, transport corridors, and construction footprints with rapid terrestrial laser scanning, providing high-density point clouds and digital terrain models. These are ideal for earthworks calculations, drainage modelling, and civil infrastructure planning.
For large-scale, multi-sensor projects, we integrate GNSS and RTK corrections to georeference the data, aligning it with national coordinate systems and existing survey baselines.
3. Façade Deviation and Verticality Checks
On vertical builds and high-rise schemes, maintaining verticality and tolerances is essential. Our instruments allow precise measurement of façade panels, columns, and building cores — highlighting drift, bowing, or lean in structural elements.
These outputs are critical for curtain walling installation, post-tensioned concrete validation, and off-site manufactured components that must fit to tight tolerances.
4. Anchor and Rebar Verification
We support structural installers, QA engineers, and commissioning teams by verifying anchor bolt positions, baseplate alignments, and rebar placements. By comparing as-built coordinates to design positions, we ensure embedded elements are positioned within tolerance — reducing the risk of post-installation failure.
In safety-critical applications, such as bridges or stadiums, this positional certainty is essential for structural sign-off.
5. Utilities and MEP Coordination
Services coordination is one of the most common sources of delay and rework in construction. Our scanning services document real-world plantrooms, risers, and MEP installations, allowing accurate modelling and interference checking before final fix.
By supplying clash-detectable point clouds, we help project teams avoid surprises during mechanical installation, cable tray routing, or ducting works.
Deliverables That Fit the Workflow
Our spatial outputs are designed for real-world use. Whether it’s engineers in AutoCAD, architects working in Revit, or planners reviewing GIS layers, we deliver data in the format and resolution required — including:
-
Point clouds (E57, LAS, RCP)
-
Mesh models and textured surfaces
-
Georeferenced 2D plans and sections
-
Deviation maps against design models
-
Control point sets with XYZ tolerances
-
Annotated photo overlays for stakeholder briefings
This flexibility supports downstream integration and ensures our data slots straight into your existing workflows — without reformatting, loss of accuracy, or additional conversion work.
Integrated Site and Office Workflows
One of the key advantages of our approach is seamless integration from field to finish. Our surveyors can capture data, process it, and deliver aligned outputs in the same platform — reducing manual steps, potential error points, and the delays often caused by juggling multiple software environments.
This makes a tangible difference when sites are under pressure, shutdowns are time-limited, or decisions need to be made fast.
Accuracy, Repeatability, and Control
Our geospatial services are designed for environments where accuracy and auditability are non-negotiable. That includes:
-
Transport infrastructure, where we scan bridge decks, piers, and bearings for settlement tracking.
-
Water treatment plants, where equipment and pipe alignments must match digital plant models.
-
Structural steel frameworks, where column placement and base tolerances must be confirmed before vertical loading begins.
In all these scenarios, spatial data must be repeatable, defensible, and traceable. Our systems deliver that — every time.
