Construction & Engineering
Build with Certainty.
Survey with Speed.
High‑frequency site scanning to keep your construction and engineering projects on schedule and on budget—with precise, CAD‑ready outputs.
From Groundbreaking to Handover, Digitize Your Entire Workflow
In construction and engineering, every decision is critical, and every delay costs money. Traditional surveying methods are slow, often unsafe, and can fail to capture the complete picture — leading to costly rework and project overruns.
ROCK Robotic provides an end‑to‑end LiDAR and photogrammetry ecosystem that empowers you to capture a complete, centimeter‑accurate 3D digital twin of your site in hours, not weeks. Make confident decisions, streamline communication with stakeholders, and ensure your project is built exactly to plan.
How ROCK Robotic Transforms Construction & Engineering
Accurate Earthwork & Volumetrics
Eliminate guesswork in your cut/fill analysis. Capture high‑density DTMs, calculate stockpiles, track earthmoving, and verify quantities so you only pay for the work performed.
High‑Frequency Progress Tracking
Conduct weekly or daily drone surveys to build a 4D record of your site. Overlay point clouds against BIM/CAD in ROCK Cloud to spot deviations and communicate clearly.
Rapid As‑Built Surveys & Verification
Use the handheld ROCK SLAM Dock V2 for interior capture and the aerial ROCK R3 Pro for full‑site coverage. Verify milestones before concrete is poured or walls close.
CAD‑Ready Site Plans & Linework
Order professional planimetric linework from ROCK Cloud. Our GIS experts, powered by AI, deliver utilities, breaklines, and building footprints in CAD‑ready formats.
Enhanced Site Safety & Logistics
Reduce time on active job sites. Drone‑based mapping minimizes exposure to hazards and provides detailed models to plan logistics and virtual site walk‑throughs.
Detailed Structural & Façade Inspection
Combine imagery with LiDAR to inspect buildings, bridges, and infrastructure. Measure and document conditions without scaffolding inside ROCK Cloud.
Recommended workflow (field‑tested)
Scan on a cadence aligned to milestones
Weekly or bi‑weekly capture aligned to project milestones.
Field‑check in minutes with ROCK Desktop
Confirm coverage before leaving the site.
Upload to ROCK Cloud
Generate DTM, contours, and linework with ROCK Surveyor / Planimetrics.
Compare to design & share
Run cut/fill and compliance checks; share a web viewer link with the GC/owner.
