Incident Reconstruction
Plowman Craven is at the cutting edge of measurement technology and is one of the world's leading experts in 3D data capture, 3D modelling and visualisation. We have been called to assist on more than 200 incident scene reconstructions, including many that have made national headlines.
Our expert teams can combine laser scan data, 2D plan drawings, photogrammetry and 3D models to enable the reconstruction of incident scenes with complete accuracy.
We live in three dimensions. It's the way our eyes show us the world. Yet, for too long Investigating Officers have had to rely on flat, two dimensional photographs and drawings to help them make sense of the thousands of words they collect in witness statements and expert opinion.
It's confusing for them, for prosecutors and defence lawyers alike and, critically, for judges and jurors too. Not anymore. The advent of three-dimensional modelling and presentation, derived from the latest advances in sophisticated laser-scanning technology, now allows for truly accurate reconstruction of the incident scene.
Plowman Craven can present the evidence visually with accuracy in a way that even the most inexpert individual can understand instantaneously. It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. A computer generated 3D image or animation is worth a million words - and it can make a case watertight.
Plowman Craven has a dedicated experienced team who are all security vetted and available on a 24 hour seven days a week call out basis. Incident scenes anywhere in the world can be attended. We can assist you by providing typical plan drawings through to complex, fully detailed animated computer visualisations to reconstruct an incident scene.
