Pool walls, monitored for movement
A cracked, leaking pool in a Brisbane residential tower, 3D laser scanned from the same permanent control on every visit, so engineers can see if the walls are moving.

A cracked pool. Are the walls still moving?
The pool in a residential tower had developed a leak and cracking. The engineers wanted to check the verticality of the pool walls and keep watching them for movement over time.

Every visit has to line up with the first one.
Monitoring only works if each scan sits in exactly the same frame. We installed five permanent control marks around the pool and register every visit to them.
Each new scan is then compared with the first visit, wall by wall, and the deviations shown on a colour-coded map the engineers can read at a glance.
What the client got
Stable walls, still under watch.
Comparisons with the first visit show the pool walls are stable. At the engineers' request, monitoring continues with ongoing visits from the same permanent control.
