Urban surveying is evolving rapidly. With reality capture tools and advanced digital workflows, 3D data is no longer a “nice-to-have” — it’s becoming standard for GIS professionals, planners, and survey teams working in complex urban environments.

In the upcoming webinar, Greg Lawes of Point3D joins FARO’s David Bonney and Point3D Sales Manager Nathan West to show how the Orbis Premium SLAM scanner and TopoDOT data recognition workflows are transforming urban surveying. From speeding up data capture to generating CAD-ready deliverables, this session will show practical ways to make your workflows more efficient and your data more actionable.

Why this matters:

Urban projects are rarely simple. Tight timelines, safety concerns, and complex site conditions can make capturing accurate data a challenge. Mobile mapping systems like Orbis Premium can dramatically reduce field time, while TopoDOT ensures that your point clouds are not just large, but meaningful — helping teams make informed decisions faster.

What you’ll see in the webinar:

  • How mobile mapping systems can improve speed and safety on urban projects.

  • Cost-effective approaches for capturing urban, road, and site data on smaller projects.

  • Real-world examples of workflows from capture to CAD-ready deliverables.

Meet the presenters:

  • Gregory (Greg) Lawes, Principal & Owner, Point3D – A pioneer in laser scanning and 3D data capture, Greg has over 20 years of experience with international engineering and construction firms and mentors others on industry technologies.

  • Nathan West, Sales Account Manager, Point3D – Expert in reality capture, GIS, and drone-based data, Nathan helps teams integrate new technology into everyday workflows.

  • David Bonney, Channel Manager, FARO – GIS specialist with experience translating space-based geo-analytics into practical field applications, now leading U.S. distribution for FARO Technologies.

Whether you’re working on small urban projects or managing large, complex sites, this webinar will provide actionable insights and a closer look at the tools shaping the future of urban surveying.

Don’t miss this chance to learn from the experts and see firsthand how Orbis Premium and TopoDOT can make your urban surveys faster, safer, and more precise.
