Survey-Grade Capture
NavVis Laser Scanning in Chicago
SCENA® field associates serve Chicago with NavVis VLX 3 wearable mobile mapping systems and NavVis MLX handheld scanners, the fastest LiDAR capture technology available. The VLX 3 covers up to 30,000 square feet per hour, which means large Chicago facilities that would take days with tripod scanners are captured in hours.
Every NavVis scan produces survey-grade point clouds in E57 and LAS formats, registered and quality-checked by our processing team. Chicago architects, engineers, and contractors use this data for renovation planning, clash detection, existing conditions verification, and Scan to BIM workflows. When your project requires higher absolute accuracy, we establish ground control points on-site for accuracy of approximately 2 to 5 millimeters.
