It’s a critical reminder of the importance of keeping focused squarely on the road.
Read MoreTREKK’s use of combined technology tools, UAS, SLAM and a variety of mobile and static LiDAR platforms, help us work safer and faster, gathering more complete information both above and below ground. With this abundance of information, the software we use to manage and interpret the data is becoming more specific. Integrating workflows and newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) tools are helping us work smarter and faster, especially when the tools we use to gather this information are more robust.
Read MoreThe Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) used emerging as-built technologies during initial field investigations of the Bennett Springs Fish Hatchery facility to install new fish hatchery production technologies, slated to be complete in late 2024/early 2025. Bennett Springs is one of Missouri’s most popular trout parks, home to more than 400,000 rainbow trout.
Read MoreAs part of National Surveyors Week, we asked our surveyors about some of the challenges involved in surveying. Kansas City Survey Market Lead, Travis Biddinger, has found that the only thing predictable in surveying is the unpredictable. Time management is the number one concern for any survey project. Preplanning, adjusting the workflow and managing the tools used to the type of deliverable required are all part of the scheduling process.
