"Laser Scanning for Everday Survey Work," first appeared in The American Surveyor • Jan/Feb 2005 issue. The article covers Metco Services of Detroit, Michigan's experiences with 3D laser scanning. In particular, the article touches on a successful as-built project that took place in Kennedy Square. This project was documented in The American Surveyor article and in a case study for Leica Geosystems HDS. Both the article and case study are available for download on this page. mere

“Not only did Cyrax and CloudWorx help us win the as-built portion of the project (40% cost savings to the client and faster delivery), but we also had a very positive project execution experience with CloudWorx. It enabled our CAD technicians to quickly learn how to efficiently process point clouds into 2D drawings directly inside MicroStation.”

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation contracted rock removal from a rock face overlooking SR322 at Mt. Pleasant, PA. In order to verify the contractor’s estimate regarding the the volume of rock removed, PennDOT scanned the face using the Cyrax system. Contour maps generated directly within Cyra Software were exported to AutoCAD® and MicroStation®. Volumetric information was compared to that prepared by the contractor. mere

“What we have been seeing is that Cyrax can gather thousands of points in one day which would take us weeks using traditional methods,” says the Chief of the Photogrammetry and Survey Division of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Bradley Foltz. Mr. Foltz is the author of the article, "3D Laser Scanner Provides Benefits for PennDOT Bridge and Rockface Surveys," which appears in the May 2000 issue of Professional Surveyor magazine. mere

“ We were able to survey the highway much safer and faster, without lane closures, plus we provided greater detail for our road designers. We
estimated that using Cyrax on our first project (Hwy 880) cost roughly the same as using traditional methods. On our second project (Hwys 101
and 85) we just about doubled our production.” mere
