OVO Arena Wembley — Full Measured Building Survey & 3D Laser Scanning
Cura Surveys completed a full measured building survey and 3D laser scanning survey of OVO Arena Wembley, one of London’s major entertainment venues.
This was a large and complex survey project requiring accurate existing-condition information across multiple levels, internal spaces, back-of-house areas, public areas and building elements. The survey data was required to support design review, coordination, refurbishment planning and future project development.
The scale and complexity of the venue made this a strong example of Cura Surveys’ capability in delivering high-quality survey information for large public, commercial and entertainment buildings.
Project Requirements
The client required a comprehensive survey package that could be used by architects, engineers, consultants and project teams working on the building.
The survey scope included:
- Full measured building survey
- 3D laser scanning survey
- Floor plans
- Reflected ceiling plans
- Internal and external elevations
- Building sections
- Point cloud data
- 3D survey information
- CAD drawing deliverables
- Visual review data to help understand existing conditions
The final package provided the project team with a reliable survey base for design, coordination and technical review.
Survey Methodology
Cura Surveys used 3D laser scanning to capture detailed point cloud data across the venue. This allowed our team to record complex spaces quickly and accurately, including areas where traditional measurement methods alone would have been slower or less efficient.
The point cloud data was then processed and used to produce coordinated survey drawings and 3D information. For a building of this scale, laser scanning is particularly valuable because it captures a high level of spatial detail and allows the project team to review the building digitally after the site work has been completed.
This approach helped reduce the risk of missing key existing information and gave the design team a dependable base to work from.
Key Challenges
OVO Arena Wembley is a large and complex venue, with a wide range of spaces, levels and building conditions. The survey required careful planning, efficient data capture and clear organisation of survey outputs.
Key challenges included:
- Large building scale
- Complex internal layouts
- Multiple levels and access areas
- Public, operational and back-of-house environments
- High volume of point cloud data
- Coordinating survey information into clear drawing outputs
- Capturing sufficient detail for design and technical use
This project demonstrates Cura Surveys’ ability to manage large survey datasets and turn complex site information into practical, usable deliverables.
Deliverables
Cura Surveys provided a comprehensive measured survey package, including:
- CAD floor plans
- Reflected ceiling plans
- Internal elevations
- External elevations
- Building sections
- Point cloud data
- 3D survey information
- Drawing sheets for design and coordination
- Visual review data for understanding the existing venue
The final delivery included a substantial drawing package and survey dataset, giving the project team accurate information for future design and project planning.
