Working to digitally record the UK’s War Memorials.

A photographic record provides a systematic, high-quality visual document of an asset at a specific point in time. Images are produced using controlled lighting, calibrated equipment, and consistent viewpoints to ensure clarity, accuracy, and repeatability, forming a reliable reference for archives, condition monitoring, publications, and online access.

A laser scanning survey captures millions of precise measurements to create an accurate three-dimensional record of a structure or object. Using terrestrial laser scanners, complex geometry, surface detail, and spatial relationships are recorded quickly and non-invasively, producing point clouds that can be used for measured drawings, deformation analysis, conservation planning, and long-term archival records.

A photogrammetry survey uses overlapping high-resolution photographs to generate detailed 3D models and orthographic outputs. This technique is particularly effective for capturing surface texture, inscriptions, and fine material detail, making it ideal for war memorials, sculptures, and historic fabric where visual accuracy and true-to-life representation are essential.

A condition survey assesses and records the physical state of a structure or object, identifying materials, defects, deterioration, and areas of risk. Findings are documented through written descriptions, annotated imagery, and measured data, supporting maintenance planning, conservation decision-making, and ongoing monitoring of change over time.
