About F3 & Associates - Leading provider of 3d laser scanning and land surveying services. Founded in 2004 as a land surveying firm, F3 & Associates has quickly grown to over 50 employees in the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California, featuring world-class clients such as Google, Shell Oil, Chevron and Walt Disney Corporation. F3 currently owns two Leica ScanStation C10 Scanners and a P20 ScanStation Scanner and a full suite of Leica Geosystems point cloud software.
F3 also utilizes a FARO Edge Arm and FARO Laser Tracker for our metrology workflow. Primary markets for the company's surveying and scanning services include industrial plants and buildings/BIM. The day F3 & Associates bought its first scanner set in motion a process of exciting business evolution that continues to this day.
Not only has the technology led F3 to new types of customers in new geographic areas across the United States and Europe, but it has also led F3 to offering additional types of services that F3 had never before dreamed of.

Services
The surveying profession goes back thousands of years and today covers a multitude of disciplines, beyond drawing boundaries.
F3 is the ideal partner for as-built surveying that documents the location of industrial assets to construction surveying that guides the construction of new structures such as roads and bridges.
We also deliver topographic surveys that locate natural and man-made features to deformation surveys that determine if a structure or object is changing shape or moving.
The land surveying team at F3 has more than 300 years of combined experience solving the greatest challenges in angle and distance measurement, supporting all phases of commercial and public infrastructure development.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a well-established technique for subsurface exploration that uses radar pulses and electromagnetic energy to find commonly embedded objects in concrete and underground utilities.
The data collected is used to prevent damage to utilities and the surrounding environment as well as protecting workers, and public safety.

3D laser scanning is sometimes referred to as LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) or high definition surveying.
It is the most effective solution for addressing the most complicated challenges in measuring and locating the as-built conditions of any industrial environment.
To make the data actionable for a project manager or an engineer, the scanner outputs the data into a point cloud, which is essentially a virtual map of an objects surface geometry.
This collected information can be analyzed as a 3D CAD model to further measure the current deviation of an object's shape or location from its designed specifications.

Building information modeling (BIM) is one of the most transformative enhancements to the process of design, construction and maintenance of large scale projects over the past 40 years.
It provides a virtual representation of a facility's physical and functional characteristics in 3D, 4D and 5D.
Furthermore, BIM facilitates greater levels of collaboration and interoperability within the design environment to improve decision making, save time and cut costs.
F3 meets its BIM deliverables on time and budget leveraging years of experience, the latest in 3D technology and best practices.

For decades industrial construction has been lagging behind by virtually every other business sector in using data management solutions and business intelligence to drive innovation.
Realizing the opportunity, F3 has emerged as the leading provider of 3D data capture, measurement and visualization for the industrial sectors of energy, water, power and infrastructure.
We work with the operators of our nation's largest structures and facilities to provide engineering support designed to improve decision making, minimize operational shutdowns, mitigate risks and ensure compliance.
