Our Markets
Police and Security Services
Plowman Craven are specialists in capturing, modelling and presenting accurate survey data in support of any scene, police investigation, fire site or any other incident where the capture of accurate scene information is required. Our services have proven to be a valuable asset to investigating teams attempting to answer the question of "What happened?" at a crime scene or a disaster and have often helped to prove a case.
The data is captured using the latest 3D laser scanning technology together with state-of-the-art surveying instrumentation and high-definition panoramic photography. Equipment is used remotely without hindrance to investigating teams and is constantly upgraded to ensure the latest innovation is applied.
Our services are called upon for hundreds of crime scenes, counter terrorism and incident reconstructions. Notable high profile investigations we have been involved in include:
- The Princess Diana inquiry
- 2005 London bombings
- Ipswich serial murders
- Potters Bar rail incident
- Atherstone warehouse fire
Plowman Craven is a neutral, independent expert whose services can be used by all parties involved.
Scene Capture
Using state-of-the-art technology, all data collected at the location can be used to produce a variety of products and services to accurately recreate and visualise the scene. These services range from basic two-dimensional drawings to three-dimensional computer-generated models and complex animations.
These visualisations and reconstructions have proved to be an essential aid for investigating teams and can help to minimise courtroom time and associated costs. They can also increase the validity and enhance the effectiveness of witness statements during an investigation.
It is often said that 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. Imagine the value of an accurate computer generated three-dimensional model.
No hidden charges
All our reconstructions are delivered to you on DVD. All you have to do is press "play". There is no need to bring in hi-tech equipment or specialist personnel to present these reconstructions to you. By reviewing your requirements at regular intervals, we will have incorporated everything you need to relay to the jury.
Even if you are currently tied into contractual agreements and maintenance contracts, why not give us a call before they expire to benchmark the quality of our services. There are no hidden charges.
