Three core areas of digital-driven engineering.
Three engineering practices under one roof, led by registered professional engineers and surveyors. Asset owners get a complete, signed deliverable they can act on. Engineering firms get the capture and tooling beneath it, under their own authority. Backed by 100+ capture partners worldwide for fieldwork at scale.
01 / Scan to BIM
CORE AREAMulti-sensor capture converted into BIM and CAD models you can design against, build from, and submit, accepted by authorities. Where you hold engineering authority we deliver in your formats; where you do not, our in-house engineering and architectural team takes it through to council submission.

02 / Condition Audits
CORE AREAA disciplined audit of your structure with advised repair methodology, material quantification, and compliance reporting. Signed by a registered Pr Eng. Engineering rigour, not a document of photographs.

03 / GIS & Topographic Mapping
CORE AREAAccurate spatial data for engineering design, mining survey, municipal planning, and environmental monitoring. 100+ global capture partners. SAGI-approved surveyor sign-off. Full deliverable spectrum from orthomosaics to bathymetric surveys.
Explore GIS & Topographic Mapping →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.
-
01
Raw captureCalibrated field capture of the asset, sized to the environment and the accuracy the decision needs.
-
02
Registered point cloudCapture georeferenced and registered to survey-grade control, quality-checked before it leaves the field.
-
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.
-
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.
How we work,
across all three.
Every core area follows the same four-phase model, sized to the engagement. That is what keeps our deliverables consistent across every project type.
Scope & Plan
The engagement is designed before capture begins.
Site walk-through, accuracy targets, safety planning, deliverable definition, and a signed project plan. The engineer starts by understanding exactly what you need the data to answer.
Capture
The right sensor for each environment.
Calibrated hardware matched to the asset: UAV, LiDAR, SLAM, RTK GPS, or confined-space drone. Quality checked in the field before demobilisation, so no return visits.
Process & Review
Data becomes an engineering deliverable.
Point clouds registered, models built, defects classified, standards cross-referenced. Our engineering team reviews every output before it reaches the client, then uploads to DeltaCloud for secure review.
Deliver & Sign-off
Every report carries a name.
Final deliverable reviewed and signed by a registered Pr Eng or SAGI-approved surveyor. Delivered via DeltaCloud with supporting documentation, accuracy statements, and standards references.
The drone is a tool. The signed decision is the deliverable.
Reality capture is now a commodity. What you do with it, and who stands behind the result, is not.
A capture-only vendor hands you a point cloud or a folder of images.
We hand you an engineering decision: defects classified, repairs specified, quantities priced.
A capture-only team can fly the asset but does not stand behind what the data means.
Where Delta Scan is the engineer of record, every deliverable is reviewed and signed by a registered Pr Eng.
You are left to interpret raw data and carry the engineering risk yourself.
The deliverable is built to be acted on and submitted, with a named professional standing behind it.
Built to be signed, not just shared.
Every engineering deliverable is reviewed and signed by Darryl Epstein, a registered Professional Engineer (Pr Eng, ECSA 202001436).
Geospatial deliverables carry registered land-surveyor sign-off where accuracy must be certified.
Every deliverable carries a stated survey accuracy class or BIM level of development (LOD), reported per engagement against check-point analysis.
Findings cross-referenced to the applicable codes (SANS, TMH, EN), with accuracy statements on every report.
A fixed price, before the work starts.
No guesswork on budget. We scope the engagement, agree the deliverable, and quote a fixed price before anyone mobilises.
Every service,
one click away.
Each core area breaks into focused, single-purpose service pages. Jump straight to the one that matches your problem.
Describe the problem and we will match the method.
You do not need to know which service you want. Tell us what the data has to answer and we will confirm the approach before anyone mobilises.
