Custom digital capability

When no tool exists,
we build one.

Our three core areas are backed by proprietary software we build for sector-specific problems that commercial tools do not solve. Below are four examples of client-driven tools now part of our capability stack.

Why we build

Bespoke engineering problems
need bespoke tooling.

Commercial inspection and capture software is built for the generic case. When a client engagement demands something sector-specific, Delta Scan builds what the job needs. Four such tools are live today, each originating from a client problem that no off-the-shelf option could answer.

The arrangement works commercially. We carry the development cost. The client gets a solution their competitors cannot access. The tool then becomes part of our capability stack for future engagements in the same sector.

Every tool is built on DeltaCloud, our secure data spine. Every engagement, custom tool or not, is delivered through DeltaCloud. Every Delta Scan deliverable is reviewed by a registered Pr Eng.

DeltaCloud platform interface

DeltaCloud

CORE PLATFORM · EVERY ENGAGEMENT

The secure, versioned environment underpinning every Delta Scan engagement. Built in-house so clients receive consistent, audited data delivery regardless of project type or geography. Role-based access, full audit trail, long-term integrity.

Shaft Analyser inspection interface

Shaft Analyser

BUILT FOR MINING

Originally developed during a gold-mining shaft inspection where no commercial tool handled SLAM drift correction at depth. Now deployed across operational shafts.

RoadAI defect detection interface

RoadAI

BUILT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE

Developed for a provincial road network audit that required automated defect detection from dashcam footage. AI-based, GPS-accurate, TMH9 compliant.

Omnispect 360 inspection interface

Omnispect

BUILT FOR INSPECTION

Developed for 360° video inspection of confined-space and linear assets. Bounding polygons, leader lines, structured severity workflow.

Bespoke builds

How we build
for a client.

A bespoke tool engagement sits inside a broader services project. It is not a software procurement exercise. It is a problem that our engineering team recognises as tractable with a tool we can build inside the engagement timeline.

  • Problem identification. During scoping for a condition audit or survey, our team identifies the engineering bottleneck. Usually the commercial tools either cannot capture, cannot process, or cannot report the data required.
  • Feasibility and commercial alignment. We assess whether a tool is buildable within the engagement. If yes, we scope development alongside the services fee. The client receives preferential access going forward.
  • Development. Built to solve the immediate engagement. Validated in the field on the same project. Delivered through DeltaCloud alongside the rest of the deliverable.
  • Capability retention. The tool becomes part of Delta Scan capability. Future engagements in the same sector benefit. The original client retains preferential terms on future use.
From capture to commitment

A deliverable, not a data dump.

Every engagement climbs the same four rungs. The value is not the scan; it is the signed engineering decision at the top.

  1. 01
    Raw captureCalibrated field capture of the asset, sized to the environment and the accuracy the decision needs.
  2. 02
    Registered point cloudCapture georeferenced and registered to survey-grade control, quality-checked before it leaves the field.
  3. 03
    Engineering modelA BIM model, digital twin, or defect-mapped 3D output, ready to design, build, and inspect against in DeltaCloud, whether your team works in it or ours does.
  4. 04
    Signed deliverableReviewed and signed by a registered Pr Eng or SAGI-approved surveyor, with accuracy statements and standards references, where Delta Scan is the engineer of record.

Accuracy & standards

Built to be signed, not just shared.

Pr EngECSA 202001436

Every engineering deliverable is reviewed and signed by Darryl Epstein, a registered Professional Engineer (Pr Eng, ECSA 202001436).

SAGIsurvey

Geospatial deliverables carry registered land-surveyor sign-off where accuracy must be certified.

Classstated

Every deliverable carries a stated survey accuracy class or BIM level of development (LOD), reported per engagement against check-point analysis.

Standardscited

Findings cross-referenced to the applicable codes (SANS, TMH, EN), with accuracy statements on every report.
