Case Study: Nordkysten cuts excavation site visits with Pix4D mobile 3D scanning

Using mobile 3D scanning to cut visits to excavation sites

Nordkysten, a Copenhagen-based construction company working on utility networks, needed a faster and safer way to document excavated pits and share accurate site updates with clients. To avoid unnecessary site visits while still providing detailed measurements and status information, they turned to Pix4D and its mobile 3D scanning tools, PIX4Dcatch and PIX4Dcloud.

Using Pix4D’s PIX4Dcatch and PIX4Dcloud Advanced, Nordkysten can capture pit data on-site with an iPad Pro or iPhone 12 Pro, automatically upload it for processing, and share a digital twin with stakeholders. The solution enables accurate volume and distance measurements, timeline comparisons, and better planning for refilling excavations, helping reduce time, costs, idle time, and on-site safety risks by eliminating many client visits.
