Reduce project risks and costs

    Keep your AEC projects on track with fast, safe, and flexible data collection using Hovermap.

    Capture high resolution, true-color point clouds to create digital twins of assets such as bridges, buildings, communications towers, tunnels, and more.

    Fast and easily repeatable scans allow you to verify construction and identify potential issues early to reduce rework, helping to keep your projects on track and within budget.

    Use Hovermap for

    • Project progress monitoring

      A quick data capture process allows for regular scans to monitor construction to ensure the project is tracking against project timelines and is in line with the proposed design.

    • Improved collaboration

      Keep project stakeholders up to date with current data from quick, regular scans. The same datasets can be used across the lifecycle of a project – in design, construction and maintenance.

    • Expedited planning & design

      One quick scan can provide a wealth of understanding of the existing site conditions for new preliminary design work. Use the data to position the project virtually and determine cut, fill, and drainage.

    • Improved decision making

      Scanning versatility allows you to capture the entire asset, from the roof to all the nooks and crannies, ensuring you don’t miss a single detail – especially not the one that could result in a poor decision being made.

    • Restoration work

      Quickly capture accurate as-built data of older structures where no current data exists. Restoration work can then be easily planned with this newly digitized structure, saving time and providing the documentation for future improvements.

    • Increase your competitiveness

      Capture the required data from large areas in less time than traditional methods. Use the most appropriate deployment method for the job (handheld, backpack, drone, vehicle) and merge the results into one unified dataset.

    Award Winning Solution

    Capture and visualize survey data for varied use cases

    • Construction Monitoring

      Ensure projects are staying on time, on budget, and to design.

    • Maintenance Planning

      Use the accurate data of existing structures to plan maintenance and facility management.

    • Construction As-Builts

      Capture an accurate as-built condition of existing structures to plan extensions.

    • Cultural Heritage

      Digitize older structures to update records, plan restoration work, or preserve details for virtual study.

    • Asset Inspection

      Easily capture LiDAR data and inspect images of an entire asset, it’s a bridge, tunnel, or anything in between. View the capture in real-time to be confident you’ve achieved complete coverage before leaving the site.

    • Site Planning

      Quickly capture an existing building or construction site for project planning and design. The model can also be used to reduce unnecessary on-site visits with virtual walkthroughs.

    • Facade Inspection

      Surveying and inspecting building facades is easy with Hovermap’s drone based Collision Avoidance, ensuring capture is possible in challenging GPS compromised urban environments.

    • Building Internals

      Quickly walk Hovermap through the internals of a building to capture a detailed point cloud to create accurate floor plans or capture internal measurements.

    • Stakeholder Engagement

      Hovermap’s point cloud data provides a richly detailed digital version of the project to share with stakeholders. Enhance visualization with colorized point clouds to improve project understanding.

    Testimonial

    “The Hovermap met our job’s accuracy objectives by achieving absolute accuracy of 40 mm, based on 10 control points evenly distributed across the 2.5 ha site. This is an impressive outcome for a SLAM scanner.”

    Why use Hovermap?

    • Explore beyond line of sight

      When mounted to a drone, Hovermap’s Tap-to-Fly autonomy feature enables mapping in previously inaccessible areas beyond line of sight and communication range. The omnidirectional Collision Avoidance, Guided Exploration, and smart Return-to-Home functions ensure your Hovermap keeps a safe distance from assets and returns home safely with the valuable data it has collected.


    • Built for harsh conditions

      The tough, weather sealed, IP65 rated unit is dust and water resistant, allowing you to map in severe environments. It can operate in temperatures from -10 to 45°C (14 to 113 °F) as well as high humidity, making it ideal for use in underground mines and other harsh environments.


    • Unique versatlility

      The plug and play design and quick-release mechanism allow easy switching between modes. Use Hovermap as a handheld scanner; attached to a drone, vehicle, or pole; lowered in a cage; or mounted to a backpack to easily collect data anywhere. The compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry and provides longer flight time.

    • Automated GCP workflow

      Georeferencing in underground mines uses standard prisms and spigots that require specialized mounting adaptors. Emesent has developed mining specific GCP’s and GCP adaptors that meet these specialised requirements. GCP’s are automatically detected during scanning, improving accuracy and eliminating the need for manual georeferencing of the point cloud post processing.


    • Improved decision making

      Mining decision-making is improved with autonomous data capture for volumetrics, over/under break, deformation monitoring, and geotechnical stability monitoring.

      Hovermap’s versatility provides autonomous mapping in challenging, inaccessible areas, while the rotating LiDAR provides an omnidirectional field of view, ensuring 3D data is collected in all directions for complete, shadowless point clouds.


    • Reliable data

      With a combination of world leading LiDAR mapping and drone autonomy, Hovermap produces reliable, accurate data which integrates seamlessly with existing workflows to enable new analytical insights.
