New Capabilities!

Santa was good to us here at PGS!


Leica ScanStation 2

To say we are excited would be an understatement. The ScanStation 2 will give us the ability to provide high definition mapping -- also known as 3D Laser Scanning -- for our clients. High definition mapping captures existing conditions of the built and natural environment in minute detail and produces point cloud images and 3D models containing millions of measurements. The ScanStation 2 collects data at a rate of up to 50,000 points per second! Benefits of high definition mapping include:

  • Creates a model with a 360° field of view allowing visualizing from any angle
  • Captures intricate details in hard to access areas
  • Sites can be surveyed from safe distances without interrupting operations.
  • Data is compatible with AutoCAD and Microstation.

Here is a short clip demonstrating the use of high definition mapping on a bridge.


I'll be posting up more info on this new system soon. Hope everyone's holidays are going great!

Cheers!
