Technology-Minded Surveyors are Better Equipped

TREKK’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.

Utilizing Emerging Survey Technologies at Bennett Springs Fish Hatchery

The 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.

Time Management: The Predictable Unpredictable of Surveying

As 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.

Safe Survey Topo of a Rockslide

Geological hazards, such as rock and landslides, can be an unpredictable environment and may pose a safety risk both to the traveling public and those attempting to mediate the hazard. So, when MoDOT wanted a new roadway design for an additional passing lane next to a steep embankment along Route 65, TREKK provided a safe solution by deploying its sUAS drone system on a rockslide area that was showing signs of instability.

Dynamic Duo for Clean Water Solutions

Erin LeGrand and Kellen Gaston brought TREKK360 technology to Lawrence, Kansas with the goal to acquire a more accurate inspection of the City’s storm inventory assessment and provide better budget utilization. What they didn’t expect was a 20 percent increase in productivity and a professional working relationship that only two moms with a common interest in clean water solutions can appreciate.
