Why 3D Laser Scanning is Used in Civil Engineering Projects

When it comes to executing a civil engineering project, one of the greatest challenges an organization is likely to face is the sheer amount of land that needs to be surveyed. Civil engineering and infrastructure projects tend to cover very large areas, and completing land surveys for these projects can be very time-consuming. As a […]

The Environmental Review Process: What You Need to Know

For the community, the goal of an environmental review is to understand the environmental impact of a project and make sure controls are in place to mitigate potential damage. For the business, the goal is to get permits granted so work can begin. Growing environmental awareness means regulatory entities may be stricter than ever. It’s […]

How to Get Improved Accuracy in Your As-Built Surveys

One of the most critical factors in construction is keeping a project on track. Too often, inaccuracies caused by human error, lack of organization and inefficiencies in the process can quickly derail a project. Suddenly, a construction project that had been moving along smoothly becomes a challenge to keep on schedule. Regardless of whether you […]

The Biggest Roadblocks to Getting Pipeline Surveys Done

The pipeline construction process start and end with surveys to document topography, plan routes, and record the as- built status. Congested pipeline right-of-ways today make accurate surveys critical to planning routes. Whether front-end or backend, pipeline surveying needs to be done fast to meeting deadlines and make the pipeline operational. Make sure your surveying company can […]

Why Modern Land Surveying Techniques Focus On Flexibility and Scalability

Modern land surveying projects tend to be very large and complex. This can lead to issues when new information arises and organizations have to change or expand their project quickly in order to compensate. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. With the help of the latest land surveying techniques, organizations can remove bottlenecks, […]

Tips for Getting Detailed 3D Models of Your Site

There are many reasons why construction companies might choose to create 3D models of their sites, including using the models for pre-project planning, as-built drawings, and ensuring that quality assurance measures are being followed. No matter how you’ll be using your 3D models, it’s important that they be accurate and precise in order for you […]
