This unusual project required a 3D laser scan of the Fisherman's Memorial statue in Grimsby as part of a public realm proposal
As part of plans to revitalise a historic part of Grimsby, our surveying team completed a laser scan of a memorial statue in St James’ Square for input into a public realm proposal. The statue, created by sculptor Trevor Harries, was unveiled in 2005 to commemorate Grimsby’s brave fisherman who were lost at sea.
North East Lincolnshire Council approached CADS with a request for the quick turn-around of a Revit® model of the statue.
The team laser scanned the structure and within 2 days produced a 3D Revit® model that could be used to show the memorial in its proposed new location within the Square.
Work on the renovation project started in Autumn 2019 and will include relocating the statue to a higher plinth to allow gatherings around it for the annual memorial services.
This laser scan and 3D Revit® model were created to engineering tolerances of Heath Town footbridge, as part of the council’s residential regeneration programme.

The Council is in planning stages to transform St James’ Square into a vibrant community area that celebrates Grimsby’s heritage. Their vision is to build an enhanced environment for members of the public, creating a multi-activity space that will cater for both daily users and visitors as well as arts and cultural events.
Dawn Brown from North East Lincolnshire Council said of the scanning work:
