Lancefield Quay, Glasgow
Cladding Remediation Project

Drone Surveys
3D Laser Scanning
Our client required the existing information on Lancefield Quay’s external façade for a cladding remediation project, including the precise location of its windows in order to plan where the updated fireproofing would be put in place.
To ensure the highest quality, we combined a Point Cloud Survey with a 3D Drone Survey.
What Is a Point Cloud Survey?
A Point Cloud Survey involves the use of advanced laser scanning technology to capture millions of data points from a physical space or object. These data points, when visualised, form a ‘cloud’, offering a 3D representation that’s rich in detail and depth.What Is a Drone Survey?
Aerial drone surveys employ cutting-edge drone technology to capture high-resolution images and data from above, offering a unique vantage point that is not possible with traditional surveying methods.

How Did Our Client Benefit From a SolidPoint Survey?
Combining multiple survey types holds many benefits, however, there are 3 that stand out the most:
Complete Building Visibility
Drone data captures roofs, elevations, and hard-to-reach external areas where point cloud scanning records the building in its exact current state. Together, they provide a full, accurate picture without needing intrusive access.Reduced Costs & Faster Delivery
The use of a drone eliminates the need for scaffolding and separate roof surveys, speeding up the data collection and overall project timelines. The accuracy of both survey methods also cuts down repeat visits and manual measurements, improving efficiency across the project.
Accurate Data That Reduces Risk
Reliable, controlled point cloud data ensures correct levels for setting out, while drone insights highlight external condition issues early (e.g. cladding, roof condition), minimising design errors and rework by giving teams a true-to-life model to work from.What Our Client Received:
- A full interactive drone model
- A complete gallery of images and videos from our drone
- Revit model & sheets
