Trench Scanner
AR trench scanning and volume estimates for iPhone and iPad. Developed and published by EngSiteTools.
Trench Scanner is a paid iOS utility for contractors and field workers. Use your device’s camera and LiDAR sensor (via Apple’s ARKit) to scan excavations and trenches, build a 3D mesh of the scanned area, and estimate excavated volume. Results appear on-screen as measurements and a 3D preview.
What you get
- Real-time AR scanning with camera and LiDAR (ARKit)
- 3D mesh generation from your scan session
- Volume, height, and bounding-box readouts for planning
- All scan processing on your device — no EngSiteTools backend for scan data
- No accounts, no analytics SDKs, and no ads
Field estimates only. Volume measurements are intended for planning purposes. Accuracy depends on scan quality, device hardware, environmental conditions, and settings. Trench Scanner is not a substitute for certified land surveying or engineering services.
Privacy
Scan data is processed entirely on your device and is not transmitted to EngSiteTools or third parties. For permissions, data retention, Apple App Store purchases, and contact details, see the dedicated policy below.
