The GPS system allows for the
collection of data at millimeter accuracy without the need for line-of-sight between
points on the ground. Precision geodetic equipment enables the computation staff to handle
virtually any control project. Combining Global Positioning System technology with
conventional methods, they create an efficient approach to many surveying and mapping
needs.
Computations survey drawings and
plans are prepared by our technical support staff utilizing six CADD stations. AutoCad
2002, Softdesk products and C&G Survey are the software programs most regularly used
to reduce survey data and prepare finished drawings.
The firm has completed extensive
projects involving right-of-way acquisition by the Ohio Department of Transportation. This
past experience and the completion of mandated technical training has allowed the firm to
become pre qualified for ODOT and KDOT projects.
3D Laser Scanning and Modeling
services were introduced in July of 2001. Utilizing the CYRAX Laser Scanning System
millimeter accuracy scans can be completed “capturing” a multitude of x,y &
z coordinate values for modeling and plan preparation. |
