When it comes to managing construction projects, timing and expenses are often top of mind for companies focused on their bottom line. Multiple steps in project management become critical to keeping companies on budget and on time, including: However, oftentimes these methods of managing project data themselves can be the kink in the chain that…
As the risks to forests increase with climate change, forest managers are turning to LiDAR data and digital twins for better ways to monitor forest structure and manage forest function. Accurate monitoring and optimal management of a forest’s structure is the best way to ensure it can continue to perform its critical hydrology, geochemical, and…
Using LiDAR mapping, Wingfield Scale and Measure have explored and captured inside train tunnels abandoned over 60 years ago to help prepare them for a new role. In 1956 the last steam locomotive passed through the Wray and Sidling Tunnels in Rockhill Furnace, part of the 32-mile (51.5 km) coal rail line. Over 60 years…
Hear from LSTC Group, surveying experts, about how they are collecting, checking and drawing topographical surveys for building sites, cable routes, and volumetrics.
First unveiled at the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition, the Royal Exhibition Building is one of Melbourne’s most famous landmarks and richly deserving of its status as the first building in Australia to ever be awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. Now, thanks to XM2, the Royal Exhibition Building has been immortalized – in a very modern way….
When a station in Hyltebruk in southwest Sweden was alerted to a surface level sinkhole above a water tunnel, they needed to locate and investigate the rockfall and probable deterioration of the tunnel’s concrete lining.
Autonomous mapping in vertical shafts makes for fast, efficient digitalization Good mapping data is essential for underground infrastructure work. Inaccurate or incomplete mapping data sources can increase the risks to personnel, equipment and infrastructure in an already high-risk environment. But vertical infrastructure can be particularly difficult to map – the width of a space might…
In this on demand webinar, Willie Whelan, Vice President – Business Development at Canadian data acquisition company Osprey Integrity, shares their insights for expediting the repair of often extensive damage to critical infrastructure after a natural disaster.
As is frequent with older industrial assets, as-built drawings and schematics of the original assets and engineering are often incomplete or outdated. There may have been significant maintenance changes and equipment improvements, but the records of those changes are not available. As a result, it is often not clear what is the actual as-built condition…
For the past couple of years, our Visualization Engineering Team has been building software to provide insights from data collected by Hovermap.
