Webinar: The Secret to Better, Faster Designs

The two biggest challenges we hear from A/E professionals when they talk about surveying are that surveys take too long and their surveyors don’t always collect the site features that the engineers need. Surveys certainly are time consuming and labor intensive.

Traditional surveys only collect the minimum amount of data needed to draw the site. Despite most surveyor’s best intentions, there are often important items missed or omitted from the survey.

It’s a bit of a paradox, that the lowest paid surveying employee–the rodman–often determines what goes on a survey. After all, he’s the one walking the site and choosing where to put his rod for each measurement. If he doesn’t put the rod on it, it won’t be on the survey.

When you get an incomplete map from your surveyor, you face more time pressure…and higher blood pressure.

Your surveyor finishes his work and sends you his shiny new survey. You’ve waited a long time to get it and are under pressure to get your design finished. You start working with the survey and see that something’s missing, either the surveyor didn’t get it or you just realized it was needed. In either case, you’ve got to send the surveyor back to the field. You face a big delay, possibly increased survey costs and now even more time pressure on your design.

You get more time for your design work when you get an HD Survey.

It seems there’s always a tight deadline on every engineering project. Because HD surveys reduce the total time it takes to deliver a survey to you by 30% to 75%, you get more time to get YOUR work done.

HD Surveying finally offers a complete solution to all of these challenges. You see, HD surveying is a revolutionary surveying system. One that takes you from the simple 2D line drawing you get now, to a rich 3-dimensional rendering of your site. You get millions of data points, not the few hundred that only show you the bare minimum site features. And, every point is survey accurate…in 3D.

No longer does the rodman decide what information you get. With HD surveying your registered surveyor becomes a “virtual rodman.” He moves around the 3D rendering of your site on his computer screen, and gathers all of the data you need, turning it into a traditional survey line drawing or a rich 3D model. Best of all, if you decide you need additional information, it’s all in your surveyor’s computer. You can get what you need in minutes, instead of days or weeks, without another trip to the field.

In 20-minutes you’ll understand what HD surveying is and how it will benefit you and your firm.
