Accurate measurements are critical to proper design, production, and quality control. Superflat Concrete’s 3D laser scanning gives you the accuracy complex surface flatness analysis demands — fewer issues during build and remodel, precise data for future decisions, less time lost, less risk carried, and reduced liability.

The whole slab, not sample lines
Ideal capture window after placement
Traditional F-Number measurement walks defined sample lines and reports what those lines found. It is the industry standard, it is what specifications are written to, and Superflat performs it on nearly every project.
But a sample line only knows what it crossed. A curled joint two feet off the line, a bird bath in the middle of a bay, a high spot exactly where a robotic charging dock is going — none of it shows up in the report.
3D laser scanning captures the entire surface as a dense point cloud, so the floor is described by millions of measurements rather than a handful of traverses. The result is a complete picture of what your slab is actually doing, and enough data to make decisions instead of assumptions.
Scanning captures the slab and the surrounding structure in one coordinated dataset.
Every scan is scoped around a decision you need to make, and the deliverables are built to answer it.
A registered, coordinated 3D dataset of the floor and the surrounding structure.
Color-coded plans showing exactly where the floor sits high, low, and in tolerance, at a glance.
Elevation change mapped across the slab and referenced to your datum.
Conventional F-Number reporting produced alongside the scan data and written to your project’s standard.
Quantified material removal by area, so remediation is priced and planned from measured numbers rather than estimates.
The specific areas requiring correction, with the minimum removal necessary to hit your specification.
Scan data delivered in the formats your design and engineering teams already work in, for coordination against the model.
Scanning pays for itself earliest when it answers a question before money is committed to it.
Scanning an existing building early tells your architect and engineer what they are actually designing into, and prevents assumptions that get expensive later.
Scanning as pours come off gives you defensible flatness data inside the 72-hour window, while the pour is still representative and there is still leverage to correct it.
A building’s floor determines what you can run in it. Scanning during due diligence turns a substantial unknown into a number.
Robotics, AS/RS, and VNA vendors publish flatness requirements. Scanning tells you whether your slab meets them, and what it costs to get there, before equipment is on site.
Verification scanning documents the corrected floor and closes out the specification with evidence rather than assurance.
From scope to walkthrough, six stages that end with an answer rather than a file.
We start with your specification, intended use, and equipment requirements, so we are scanning to answer a real question rather than collecting data for its own sake.
A survey control network ties every scan position to your building datum and keeps the dataset coordinated end to end.
Scanners move through the space at set positions, capturing the slab and surrounding structure. Work is phased around your operations, including nights and weekends.
Individual scans are registered into a single coordinated point cloud and cleaned of racking, equipment, and other obstructions.
We process the surface against your specification and produce heat maps, contours, F-Number reporting, and cut/fill volumes.
You get the data and the interpretation — what the floor is doing, what it means for your intended use, and what it takes to fix.
Fewer issues during build and remodel. Problems surface as data on a plan instead of as change orders in the field.
Precise data for future decisions. The scan does not expire — it stays a record you return to for the next install or fit-out.
Time saved. Full-coverage capture is fast, and it removes the back-and-forth of re-measuring disputed areas.
Risk minimized. Every party works from the same measured dataset instead of competing assumptions.
Liability reduced. Documented, coordinated, timestamped measurement is defensible when floor tolerance becomes a question.

We have been involved at every level of concrete construction, which means the scan comes with interpretation. We do not just hand over a point cloud — we tell you what it means for the floor you have and the operation you are trying to run on it.
An F-Number survey measures along defined sample lines and reports the statistics your specification is written to. A scan measures the entire surface. We deliver both: the F-Number reporting your spec requires, and the full-coverage data that shows you where the problems actually are.
No. We phase capture around live operations and work nights and weekends when that suits the facility. Racking, equipment, and stored product are handled in processing.
Yes. Scanning an existing, occupied floor is one of the most common reasons clients call us — usually because automation, new racking, or a new tenant is coming and the flatness is an open question.
Yes. We deliver in the formats your design and engineering teams already use, coordinated to your building datum.
No. A scan tells you what the floor measures and what correction would involve. Plenty of clients scan to confirm a floor is fine, or to decide whether an equipment layout can be adjusted instead of a slab.
It depends on square footage, access, and the deliverables you need. Send us the building size and what you are trying to decide, and we will scope it.
Tell us the building and the question you need answered. We’ll scope the scan.
