Knowledge & Experience.
|
Laser Scanning is an emerging Technology and while the results can be great, it does take some time and a lot of experience to produce the results our clients require.
CADSense has had this tech in-house (x2 !) since 2020, we don't hire the equipment for a few days a year or loan it from another office. The Equipment is always right here in Southland!
We have experience in a wide variety of applications and projects, which often require very different techniques. This isn't something that is taught in a course. While some say it's more of a "black art magic" we believe our strong foundation of Engineering Trade Hands On, and 30+ Years in the design industry, as well as being expert level with a variety of complex CAD and Design tools gives us the background to produce the results you demand.
After all, if we have the expertise to complete your design using complex CAD and Scanning Technologies, and then physically Construct/Weld/Build your Project, then we probably have a pretty good idea what you and your wider Team require to hit the ground running!
Our process is to listen, absorb and process your ideas, then discuss with the team involved. From here we can propose and advise a smart way forward that best meets the needs of the entire Project Team.
We can combine our PointClouds with our own In-House Survey GNSS RTK Base, Rover and Drones, to enable Geo-Reference PointClouds to within 1cm of absolute accuracy, virtually anywhere in NZ!
Individual Pointclouds have their own accuracy, in the case of our TLS Scanner this can get down below 0.5mm! By optionally adding GNSS RTK "Control Points" this moves the accurate PointCloud to sub 1cm or less of the actual real-world Longitude/Latitude coordinates. Perfect for continued Civil Design, accurate onsite stake-out of new design elements, or GPS Guided machine control!
We have a close relationship with a Reg Cadastral Land Surveyor for Projects that require Signoff or more complex Total Station accuracy indoors that cannot be achieved with GNSS (For example building monitoring or Laser Scanning inside Tunnels).
In-House Software & Expertise:

Drone Deploy
CloudCompare
Meshlab

QGIS
Complete Suite of Laser Scanning Registration and Survey Applications.
Drone Pilots with CAA Part 101 and Part 102 Unmanned Aircraft Operator Certificate.
In-House Equipment:
S-Series Laser Scanners - Top of the Line 3D Laser Scanners x2
Yes, we have a spare!
Some of our clients need to complete shutdowns of Plant or Power Stations to enable Scanning to proceed. We need the ability to use both to work quickly, or the second as a backup onsite machine!
Scan Plan 2D Laser Scanner and Mapper.
Perfect for Fast Building Floorplans, or has the ability to Combine with the Full 3D Scanner to Automatically create an optimised Scanning Positional Layout.
GNSS RTK (Survey Grade GPS)
Multi-band RTK GNSS receiver with tilt compensation. Survey grade precision even in hard-to-reach spots. We have a Dual Base and Rover, which enables us to create our own on-site NTRIP Network over Known Site Points or Connect via in-built Modem to an RTK NTRIP Solution.
GPS/QZSS L1C/A, L2C,
GLONASS L1OF, L2OF,
BeiDou B1I, B2I,
Galileo E1-B/C, E5b
Dual-band radio
868/915 MHz LoRa to receive and transmit corrections
450 MHz UHF to receive corrections from bases transmitting TRIMTALK 450S
RTK GNSS Drones x3
A step well above standard consumer level drones. These work by receiving super accurate location information from our on-site GNSS RTK base to give highly accurate flights and data!
The DJI RTK is a purpose-built drone to provide the most compact and accurate low altitude mapping solution. DJI has rethought its drone technology from the ground-up, revolutionising its systems to achieve a new standard for drone accuracy — offering customers centimetre-accurate data while requiring fewer ground control points.
The technology allows users to combine and contrast position data captured from a virtual or physical base station. The RTK’s camera geotags the centimetre-level precision data into the image. Radial and tangential lens distortions are measured for every RTK’s camera to have its unique distortion parameters and write these distortion parameters into the image for post-process calibration.
Leica Disto Setups:
As well as having accurate setups and instrumentation, nothing beats a good old check of the data being produced onsite, on the day to enable truthing of the capture data. Leica Disto, Total Station and and Faro combine here as the best in the business. We can truth the data we capture Start/Middle/Finish to know we are meeting the required targets.
Dell Precision Workstations:
Top of the line workstation class machines for CAD Design and Processing in the Office. These include Full Commercial NVIDIA Workstation Quadro Class GPU's and Gigabytes of RAM !
What does this mean? Fast ! - (As Fast as it currently gets.) Fast processing and Design of large Datasets and full 3D Modelling.
Full Office NAS Storage and a Mixture of Internal and Online Server Farms for Fast processing of Engineering Level Datasets.
TEAM:
Our Team of knowledgeable, experienced, real world Engineers have the right mix to get on with the job, and advise the right places to get additional help for your project if required.
Our Team started on the Workshop Floor & on the Farm, and prides itself on staying current at all levels of the Industry.
We have the knowledge and experience to select the right Team, the right Tools, and the right Plan to deliver exactly what you need, at the right Cost.
In the most practical way possible!
We're Smart, but we are grounded in Practicality.
We have the experience & knowledge to provide the full package at the right level of what's required for each project.
Ensuring true "Fit for Purpose" Projects is not just talk at CADSense, it's our DNA!
If you want "Sales Specialists" and Bureaucracy, we can probably find that for you, but it will come from outside help :-)
