Do you know why a grading contractor would want to add a prism- total station to a machine that already has GPS on it? Answer: GPS needs to see the sky (satellites). Total station is used under roof/trees, and near high wall, and buildings. The DirtPrep Solutions team is on site with a customer today that already runs Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon GPS, and their job now has tall buildings and some under roof work… Enjoy the quick vid I had fun making, work should be fun….? Right? #Networking #build #future #construction #GPS #earthwork #grading #heavy #civil #heavy #equipment

Surveying has long been a critical aspect of land development, construction, and various engineering projects. Traditionally, surveyors relied on tools like total stations and GPS receivers to gather data for their projects. However, the advent of 3D laser scanning technology has revolutionised the field, offering significant advantages in terms of speed, accuracy, and level of detail. #3DLaserScanning #Surveying #LandDevelopment #Construction #EngineeringProjects #3DScanning #LaserScanning #TotalStations #GPSReceivers #SurveyingTech #InnovativeTech #3DTechnology #DigitalDocumentation #PrecisionMeasurement #FieldRevolution #SurveyingInnovation #AccuracyInSurveying #AdvancedTech #DataCollection #PointCloud #SurveyingMethods

I’ve been working with construction firms, site managers, and surveyors who rely on stockpile measurements to keep their projects moving. But here’s the thing—many don’t realize just how far off their numbers can be. Traditional methods leave room for costly errors—overages, shortages, mis-allocated resources. That’s where aerial mapping changes the game. With Skyland Pixels, we’re helping businesses: ✅ Get accurate stockpile measurements—FAST. ✅ Track site progress with 3D models and aerial mapping. ✅ Make better decisions with real, reliable data. If you’re in construction, surveying, or resource management, and you want to see how this works, let’s connect! I’d love to hear how you’re handling stockpile tracking today. 📩 DM me or check out: www.skylandpixels.com #AerialMapping #ConstructionTech #StockpileManagement #SkylandPixels #OrlandoConstruction #SurveyingSolutions

PRE-CONSTRUCTION Surveying is a critical step in the pre-construction process, providing essential data that informs design, ensures compliance with regulations, and minimizes risks associated with land development. Proper surveying helps lay a solid foundation for successful construction projects. Surveying before the construction of a building involves several key steps to ensure that the site is properly evaluated and prepared for development. Here’s a detailed overview of the process: 1️⃣Pre-Survey Preparation Define Objectives: Determine the purpose of the survey (e.g., land boundaries, topography). Gather Background Information: Collect existing maps, property records, and zoning regulations relevant to the site. 2️⃣Site Analysis Field Visit: Conduct an initial site visit to observe the terrain, vegetation, and existing structures. Identify Natural Features: Note any significant natural features such as rivers, hills, or trees that may affect construction. 3️⃣Types of Surveys Boundary Survey: Establishes the property's legal boundaries and identifies any encroachments. Topographic Survey: Maps the contours of the land, showing elevation changes, slopes, and existing features. Site Survey: Involves detailed measurements of the site to determine the best placement of the building and infrastructure. Geotechnical Survey: Assesses soil and subsurface conditions to determine stability and suitability for construction. 4️⃣Using Surveying Tools Total Stations: Measure angles and distances with high precision. GPS Equipment: Provides accurate location data for larger sites. Drones: Used for aerial surveys to capture large areas quickly and gather topographic #topography #construction #hydrographic #engineering #middleeast #dubai #abudhabi

📍Topographic surveys are one of the many essential services offered by MRA, helping clients make informed decisions in design and project management. Using advanced GPS equipment, Aerial Drone and HyDrone surveys provide precise measurements and fixed points, offering a detailed understanding of the land's layout. Here’s why they are beneficial: - Accurate site assessment: Understand the layout of the land for better planning and design decisions. - Informed planning: Topographic surveys help with the placement of new structures, re-positioning boundaries, and improving site flow. - Enhanced infrastructure design: They aid in designing drainage systems and other key infrastructure components. - Cost-saving: By providing accurate data, they reduce the risk of costly errors and delays, saving valuable project time. - Improved decision-making: With precise measurements, decision-makers can confidently move forward at every project stage.

📊 MBES vs. Photogrammetry: Mapping Vertical Submerged Walls 🌊 At the 30-second mark, a comparison will be shown. 1️⃣ MBES (multibeam echosounder) excels in measuring the structure and depth of vertical submerged walls, even in low visibility, but struggles with capturing surface textures and fine details. 2️⃣ Photogrammetry creates highly detailed and textured 3D models of vertical walls, capturing cracks, overgrowth, and other features, but requires clear water and controlled lighting. 3️⃣ MBES is faster for obtaining geometric data over large vertical surfaces, while photogrammetry is ideal for detailed visual inspections of specific sections. 4️⃣ Photogrammetry brings unmatched visual clarity, but MBES provides accurate measurements crucial for engineering or structural assessments. 5️⃣ A combined approach ensures comprehensive results – MBES for precise geometry and photogrammetry for a visual narrative of the wall's condition. 🎯 How do you approach mapping vertical submerged walls?
