Lighting Up the Severn Partnership

3D Scan & Model used for 'Right of Light' Analysis in Reading

The Severn Partnership was called in to 3D Laser Scan a large area of central Reading for use in a 'Right of Light' assessment. From the registered point cloud a 3D block model of the key buildings and facades that may be affected by the new structure were created, particular attention was paid to the positions of windows.

Any new build that may infringe on a neighbours 'Right to Light' may result in dispute and legal investigation.  'Right of Light' assessments allow individuals or organisations to assess the impact of any new build virtually before any construction work had begun.

Using the point cloud allowed the 3D model to be created quickly, efficiently and accurately.  It was also used a quality assurance to visually check that the model was accurate to the surveyed laser scan.

Severn Partnership wins Great Western Structures survey

The Severn Partnership and consulting engineers Parsons Brinckerhoff were selected to undertake a detailed survey of over 280 bridge and tunnels structures on the great Western main line (October 2009 to December 2009). This included the Severn Tunnel along with Box, Sodbury, Newport and Patchway Tunnels. All surveyed as 3D point clouds combined with high accuracy track geometry using our new GRP5000 system.
