Surveying Solutions Mobile Scanning

Do you ever wonder how our cities and states maintain our roads, bridges, buildings, sidewalks, and drainage ditches all while considering obstructions like tress, rivers and lakes? There is so much to consider when it comes to our construction and transportation infrastructure. Well, with the expert data collection services of companies like  Surveying Solutions, Inc. we are able to analyze all of these factors in like never before.

With the addition of mobile scanning, Surveying Solutions Inc. can capture 360 degree, dense data that collects 600,000 points per second and traveling speeds close to the posted speed limit. This data can be used for design, modeling, and simulation in 2D, 3D and 4D formats.

Using this new mobile scanning offers numerous benefits.

1) It can be more cost effective than many traditional surveying technologies
2) Data collection is much faster. For example a ten miles survey that takes two months to survey with traditional surveying can now be mobile-scanned in just one day.
3) Massive amounts of data can be collected while traveling at a high speed. They now can collect up to 600,000 points per second compared to one point every couple of seconds with traditional surveying.
4) Without having to work besides roads, they have created a much safer work environment from inside the vehicle.
5) They can virtually eliminate delays due to bad weather.
6) Delays in traffic are eliminated since the data collection occurs from a moving vehicle rather than closing down lanes.
7) Because of the immense data that is collected it will save additional field visits to collect dad at another time.

Mobile scanning is definitely the wave of the future and SSI provides it for their clients today. Check them out!
