Lloyd Hill company logo

Established in 1997, Lloyd & Hill are professional land surveyors based in Cape Town, serving clients across South Africa and neighbouring countries. With a strong foundation in traditional surveying and a reputation as leaders in industrial engineering surveying and 3D laser scanning, the firm combines deep technical expertise with high standards of HSE and legal compliance. Their work spans sectors such as energy, mining, infrastructure, and construction.

WHAT WAS NEEDED

Loyd & Hill  undertakes projects of all sizes, from small buildings to large industrial sites, and therefore needed a modern solution to handle and share 3D scan data at scale. Since their clients demanded flexible, secure, and easy access to large datasets, but often had very different IT setups, the company required a platform that could adapt to these needs. In addition, they had to deliver results in a clear and professional format that not only supported technical experts but also made sense to non-technical stakeholders.

DEPLOYMENT

Lloyd & Hill adopted Viinplan to streamline the delivery of their 3D laser scanning projects. Depending on the client’s needs, project data is shared via:

  • Cloud-hosted Viinplan instances for interactive, real-time access
  • Offline deployments for remote or bandwidth-limited locations
  • Internal SFTP delivery, hosted securely by Lloyd & Hill, for clients with strict data control requirements

Viinplan enables the company to present laser scans, panoramic imagery, and model overlays in a consistent, easy-to-navigate format that adds value beyond raw data.

VALUE DELIVERED

  • Tailored Delivery: Viinplan supports cloud, offline, and internal SFTP options for full client flexibility
  • High Project Throughput: Efficient management of hundreds of concurrent survey projects
  • Professional Presentation: Deliverables are intuitive and visually rich, enhancing client experience
  • Cross-Border Scalability: Supports clients across South Africa and neighbouring countries
  • Enhanced Reputation: Aligns with Lloyd & Hill’s leadership position in engineering surveying and compliance

LASTING IMPACT

By integrating Viinplan into their services, Lloyd & Hill strengthens its position as a forward-looking, client-focused surveying partner. Moreover, the platform enables the team to deliver 3D laser scanning results that are both technically precise and easy to access. As a result, clients benefit from safer and more efficient decision-making across some of the region’s most demanding industries.
