Roof Inspection Edinburgh’s Post

Would you find roof deflection measurement a useful survey metric? I’m not sure which direction to go with this service. We have done some work in the past using photogrametry to create 3D models. At the time our feedback was it wasn’t useful. We have learned clients want the three w’s when it comes to defects - 1. What needs fixed, 2. Where it is, 3. What it will cost to repair or replace. Your thoughts? #roof3dmodel #roofsurvey

💡Surveying using One3D: Surveyors use photogrammetry to analyze the terrain and features of a specific area. There are different applications to surveys ranging from personal records to construction sites and needs. The projects range from a single building/entity to sever hundred square miles. Photogrammetry is the best technology out there that provides and accurate data for detailed analysis. One3D software can also offer specific outputs that are relevant to each project. #One3D #photogrammetry #photogrammetrysoftware #survey #construction #buildings #technology #digitaltwins

Michal Gula, Thank you for sharing this insightful post about using 3D data before paying for a survey. While it's important to note that this method cannot replace a proper survey, it can certainly provide a helpful idea of what to expect from the final dataset. The three steps outlined by Kato Emmanuel, PMP®, seem logical and efficient. Creating a polygon of paths in Google Earth and exporting it to GPS visualizer for elevation extraction, converting the coordinates to an acceptable format of Civil 3D, and importing ready-to-use survey data into Civil 3D for topo generation all sound like practical steps. It's great that Kato emphasizes that the results may not be 100% accurate but can serve as a basis for understanding the final output. This is important to keep in mind when utilizing such methods. Overall, I appreciate you sharing this information with us. It's always valuable to learn about alternative approaches that can complement traditional surveying techniques. Thank you again!

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

Very useful at concept design/ alternative exploration stage.

Check out our latest video showcasing the incredible capabilities of the Trimble Access CAD Toolbar Measure Mode! 🎥✨   With the Measure Mode, you can now: ✅ Offset lines and arcs with up to FOUR additional offsets from the feature geometry measured with GNSS or Optical instruments. ✅ Perfect for collecting geometry of sidewalks, curbs, and gutters where the flowline is consistent with the flag and top of curb. ✅ Measure one point at each location and draw up to FIVE total lines from one measurement.   This tool is a game-changer for surveyors looking to save time and increase accuracy in their projects. Watch the video to see the Measure Mode in action, demonstrating: 🔹 Start and end lines 🔹 Adding smooth and tangential curves 🔹 Adding gaps to connecting lines   ⚙️ Note: To use the MEASURE CAD TOOLBAR, ensure your Trimble Access job file includes a full Feature Code Library (*.FXL) with control codes for drawing lines, arcs, curves, rectangles, and offsets based on the measured feature coded points.   🎥 Watch now and elevate your surveying skills.   #SeilerGeospatial #TrimbleAccess #SurveyingTools #CADToolbar #MeasureMode #SurveyEfficiency #GNSS #OpticalInstruments #SurveyingInnovation

Clash detection isn’t just about finding problems; it’s about stopping them before they start. Here’s a tip that’s made all the difference for me: Run clash detection directly within your modeling software (like Revit) and include devices from other disciplines within your team. Often, devices are positioned based on symbols in different discipline drawings, leading to overlaps when models are merged. I’ve found it incredibly effective to do a pre-check before sharing on the portal. For instance, we often ran into issues with EWIS and camera devices being positioned too closely. Catching these clashes early reduced our overall clashes by 80%. Curious about more tips? #BIMTips #ClashDetection #ConstructionTech #Revit #Navisworks #Revizto

📊 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?
