Surveys

Surveying is a fundamental part of A.I.C.E. Consulting’s activities.

Our surveys are not merely a preliminary phase, but an essential step for the success of every project. Whether it’s developing BIM models or planning seismic retrofitting interventions, our approach to integrated and sustainable design is grounded in a thorough understanding of existing conditions.

By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as 3D laser scanning, we are able to conduct precise and detailed surveys of buildings, infrastructure, and terrain.

But we don’t stop there: our surveys cover every architectural, structural, and systems-related aspect, documenting the condition, crack patterns, materials, and construction techniques used.

Architectural, Structural and Systems Surveys

Surveys are not just about measuring; they involve a deep understanding of the asset under examination.

We analyze every detail—from transformations over time to the relationship with the urban context—providing comprehensive graphical documentation that supports every project phase, from seismic retrofitting to redevelopment.

Civil Infrastructure Surveys

Our surveys go beyond simply defining boundaries or dimensions of an area. We employ advanced techniques such as ground-penetrating radars to detect underground utilities, pipelines, and cables, and video inspections to explore pipes and conduits without dismantling them, identifying any blockages or damage. These tools enable us to plan interventions with precision, avoiding surprises during construction.

Topographic Surveys

When it comes to topographic surveys, we are equipped to map terrain of any size with maximum accuracy. Thanks to the use of drones and advanced softwares, we can deliver CAD/GIS drawings, georeferenced point clouds, and more. Our 3D mapping allows classification of all terrain features and extraction of essential data for design.

Laser Scanning Surveys

Laser scanning technology allows us to digitally capture the shape and position of any object or structure, creating an extremely precise point cloud. This enables comprehensive and rapid documentation of as-built conditions of projects of any complexity, ensuring that every design starts from a solid and accurate foundation.
