3D laser scanning surveys
Above ground and below. All of it, as data. With 3D laser scanning and 360° photo capture, we record millimeter-accurate point cloud data without shutting down operations. We work anywhere in Japan and can deliver in as little as three business days. We also take on projects outside Japan, case by case.

Three things a Recmill survey does differently
Above ground and underground in one dataset
More than 20 km of sewer pipelines surveyed to date, in places where GNSS (GPS) does not reach. Above ground and underground are registered into a single dataset in the same national coordinate system, the Japan Plane Rectangular Coordinate System (JGD2011). We take on complex and hazardous sites.
Short scans that don't shut down operations
We scan running factories and plants in a short window, without shutting down operations. Tight spaces and outdoor areas included, we record existing conditions in full.
We don't stop at the scan.
Once we have the point cloud, we take it all the way in-house: sharing, 2D drafting, analysis, and building it into your operations. We can propose ways to use the data as part of the same job.
Where our surveys get used — plants, sewer pipelines, and underground spaces
- You want an accurate record of existing conditions for buildings or equipment with no drawings.
- You want measured data you can use to plan a retrofit or a layout change.
- You want to survey sewer pipelines and other underground spaces where GNSS does not reach.
- You want to take measurements in a running factory without shutting down operations.
- You want everyone involved to be able to check a remote site.
- You want to keep a 3D record of assets that exist only as paper drawings.
How it works — delivery in as little as three business days
-
Tell us what you need, and we quote the job
We go over the site conditions, what the data is for, and the deliverables you need. Pricing depends on the site; we quote each job.
-
We scan on site
We scan in a short window, without shutting down operations. We can also work in plants that are still running, in tight spaces, outdoors, and underground.
-
We process the data and check the quality
We register the point clouds, clean up noise, and adjust the coordinates so the data is ready to work with.
-
We deliver
We deliver in the format you need. We can go from first contact to delivery in as little as three business days.
Delivery formats
We can also deliver through TENZOH, our point cloud viewer. Nothing to install. From the day we deliver, you can view, measure, and share by URL in a browser. You can add 2D drafting and 3D modeling to the same job.

Frequently asked questions
- Where do you work?
- We work anywhere in Japan, with completed projects in the Kansai, Tokai, and Kanto regions. We also take on projects outside Japan, case by case.
- What does it cost?
- We quote each job based on the size and conditions of the site. Start with a message.
- How long does it take?
- It depends on the scope, but we can go from first contact to delivery in as little as three business days.
- Can you survey underground spaces and sewer pipelines where GNSS does not reach?
- Yes. We have scanned more than 20 km of sewer pipelines to date, and we can deliver above-ground and underground data registered into a single dataset in the same national coordinate system.
- Can I order just the scan?
- Yes. Scan-only jobs are welcome. If you need more, we can also handle 2D drafting, analysis, and data sharing in one package.
Just the scan,
or everything you do with the data.
“Can you scan this site?” is a fine place to start.
Tell us the site conditions, and we’ll recommend the right equipment and approach.
