MOBILE MAPPING
Part of our Data Acquisition, Data Delivery & Analytics Solutions
Whether you’re working in a challenging terrain or need fast, accurate data for large-scale infrastructure projects, our mobile mapping services delivers a complete, efficient and safe solution.
What is Mobile Mapping?
The adaptable and innovative, ROBIN LiDAR system is capable of capturing high-density 3D data by walking, driving or flying. This flexibility allows our team to survey a wide range of environments, including remote or hazardous locations, with speed and precision.
Our mobile mapping technology significantly reduces time spent on site compared to traditional methods, improving safety by limiting exposure in high-risk areas. The system captures millions of measurable points, producing detailed point clouds and 3D models, suitable for BIM integration and asset management.
Mobile mapping is ideal for sectors such as highways, rail, energy and construction. It supports rapid data collection, minimises the need for repeat visits and enables retrospective design changes with ease. The result is a cost-effective, high quality dataset, that enhances project planning and decision making.
Mobile Mapping Benefits
Time Saving
Using the technology offers a significant reduction in the amount of time spent on site, in comparison to more traditional surveying methods. This will depend on the requirements of the individual project, but the savings incurred by this reduction in time spent on site can ultimately be passed on to the customer.
Remote Location Work
We’ve built up a reputation as the go-to ’emergency response’ team for ground engineering technical services, on emergency works in various sectors. The ROBIN is perfect for difficult-to-access locations where terrestrial surveying methods might struggle to obtain useful data.
Health & Safety
At site locations that pose more of a risk to the health and safety of staff, using the ROBIN means a reduction in people required on site, and the number of shifts required in places of potential danger. Focus is shifted from gathering data in the field to processing data in the office.
Fast Data Capture
Using the ROBIN means we can collect more data in a shorter period of time, preventing site re-visits. It also means we can accommodate retrospective changes in project specifications more easily and cost-effectively.
Complete Mobile Mapping
Mobile mapping using the ROBIN ties in with a larger terrestrial and remote surveying/monitoring proposition from Central Alliance, which includes UAV surveying, photogrammetry and aerial imaging in addition to satellite-based remote sensing capability.
BIM
The absolute data capture offered by the ROBIN can assist the production of BIM compliant 3D models to further benefit clients who are looking to move towards a more complete asset management/BIM strategy.
