As part of planned redevelopment and expansion works at Leeds United Football Club’s home ground, an extensive LiDAR survey of Elland Road Stadium has been completed
A large-scale 3D laser scanning programme was undertaken at the stadium, providing a detailed representation of the structure to inform future redevelopment proposals. The survey was delivered by Survey Hub using equipment from RIEGL UK.
Given the complexity of the site, the project combined multiple data capture methods. Alongside terrestrial laser scanning, mobile mapping technology was deployed to capture internal circulation routes and hard-to-access areas, while drone-based photogrammetry generated point cloud data of roof structures and external elevations.
In total, more than 5,250 scan positions were recorded, covering seating tiers, concourses, hospitality areas and key structural elements.
The datasets were integrated into a coordinated 3D model, enabling the development of a detailed Autodesk Revit model. This provides a comprehensive digital twin of the stadium’s current condition, supporting feasibility studies, design development and coordination for proposed expansion works.
By bringing multiple data sources into a single BIM environment, the project enables more accurate planning, clash detection and scenario testing—helping to reduce risk during later design and construction phases.
