Research

Built in-house,
always advancing.

Delta Scan holds SARS R&D grant recognition (11D FY2025) for our ongoing development work. We invest continuously in our own capture, reconstruction, and AI defect-detection capability, extending it across new asset types and tightening accuracy where it matters most to operators.

The detail of how our tools are built is proprietary. What our clients see is the outcome: higher-fidelity 3D records, faster automated defect detection at network scale, and a defect taxonomy tuned to the specific assets in their sector, all reviewed and signed by a registered Pr Eng.

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.
