WELCOME TO BENDI

Converting real world objects into digital assets

BenDi is a laser scanning early adopter and investor, having received the first Leica BLK 360 laser scanner on the African continent in January 2018. We use laser scanning technology to capture reality on-site and create 3D digital twins in any CAD format. Our team works globally, offering expert support for projects anywhere in the world.

This provides our clients with a usable As-Build model in 3D or 2D format, with or without panoramic color photos, ideal for Conditional Assessments, Reverse Engineering, Progress Monitoring, or Future Planning.

What is 3D Modelling & Laser Scanning?

3D laser scanning is a technology that uses laser beams to rapidly and more accurately measure distances to surfaces, creating detailed 3D representations of objects, environments, or landscapes.

Laser scanning has revolutionized how industries and professions interact with the physical world by enabling precise, efficient, and comprehensive data capture. This technology has significantly impacted various sectors, reshaping processes, improving safety, and unlocking new possibilities.

Laser scanning has fundamentally changed the way we understand, interact with, and manage the physical world. It bridges the gap between the real and digital worlds, enabling precision, safety, and innovation on an unprecedented scale.

Comprehensive Survey Solutions for Your Needs

3D Laser Scanning

Laser scanners collect surface data by repeatedly shooting a laser off an object’s surface and plotting points into what is known as a point cloud.

Reality capture is a broad term that encompasses all methods of capturing an existing environment, whether using laser scanners, cameras, crewless aerial vehicles (UAVs), or other means. LiDAR scanning can help you save both time and money.

Scan to CAD (Mining & Industrial)

Scan to CAD is revolutionizing the mining and industrial sectors by converting precise 3D laser scan data into highly accurate CAD models.

This process enables stakeholders to visualize, design, and plan with unparalleled precision, using data captured from complex environments. Whether it’s underground mining operations or large-scale industrial facilities, Scan to CAD delivers detailed models that serve as the foundation for efficient and informed decision-making.

P&ID Redlining

P&ID Redlining involves updating and modifying Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) to reflect real-world changes in industrial systems.

Using laser scanning and advanced tools, we ensure that your diagrams are accurate and up to date, capturing any alterations made during construction, maintenance, or upgrades. This process is essential for maintaining compliance, safety, and operational efficiency.

As Built Verification

By using advanced 3D laser scanning technology, we capture the exact as-built conditions of your project, providing highly accurate and detailed data to ensure compliance with the design intent.

Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering is the process of creating a 3D digital model from an existing physical object.

Using advanced 3D laser scanning technology, we capture detailed data from the object’s shape, size, and geometry. This data is then used to recreate precise CAD models or prototypes, allowing for design improvements, repairs, or manufacturing of new parts.

Construction and Infrastructure

In the construction and infrastructure sectors, precision and efficiency are key to successful project delivery.

Our 3D scanning services provide accurate, real-time data that helps engineers, architects, and construction teams stay on track from design through to completion. By capturing the as-built conditions of a site, we ensure that your projects are aligned with architectural plans and specifications, while mitigating the risks of delays and costly rework.

Conditional assessments

Condition assessments involve evaluating the physical state of a building, infrastructure, or asset to determine its integrity, lifespan, and any immediate maintenance or repair needs.

Using advanced 3D scanning technology, we capture precise data on the condition of structures, helping you assess wear and tear, detect faults, and plan for necessary repairs or upgrades.

Progress Monitoring

Progress monitoring involves tracking the ongoing development of a construction or infrastructure project to ensure it remains on schedule, within budget, and aligned with quality standards.

Using 3D laser scanning technology, we capture and compare data at different stages of your project, providing a precise, real-time view of progress. This enables project managers, contractors, and stakeholders to make data-driven decisions, identify any deviations from the plan, and address potential issues before they become costly delays.

Clash Detection

Clash detection is the process of identifying and resolving potential conflicts or interference between different elements of a construction or engineering project, such as piping, HVAC systems, electrical wiring, or structural components.

Using advanced 3D scanning and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies, we can detect clashes in the design phase before construction begins, ensuring that all systems fit together seamlessly. This proactive approach reduces costly rework, delays, and safety risks, ultimately leading to smoother project execution and improved overall efficiency.

Scan to BIM (Architectural)

Scan to BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an advanced process that converts precise 3D laser scan data into comprehensive digital models.

Using cutting-edge laser scanning technology, we capture the exact geometry and conditions of buildings or infrastructure, creating accurate representations in BIM software.

UAV/Drone Aerial Mapping

When faced with the task of laser scanning fields, trails, rivers or any large area, it quickly becomes apparent that an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is perfect for the job.

Using drones equipped with advanced cameras, LiDAR, or other sensors, we can collect large volumes of data over expansive areas in a short period. This data is then processed to generate accurate 2D and 3D maps, which can be used for various applications in construction, agriculture, mining, and infrastructure projects.

Quantity Take-off

Quantity take-off (QTO) is the process of calculating and measuring the quantities of materials, labor, and other resources required for a construction project.

Using 3D scanning technology, BIM (Building Information Modeling), and advanced software tools, we can extract precise quantities directly from digital models and drawings. This method eliminates the errors and inefficiencies of manual take-offs, ensuring accurate material lists and cost estimates.
