Many thanks to Speedy for informing us of the same day recovery of a Trimble S5 Total Station stolen from one of their clients in Merseyside.
Speedy reports that due to having live data to work from, thanks to Trimble’s built-in L2P technology, Merseyside Police were particularly helpful.
The latest issue of Geomares’ Engineering Showcase features KOREC customer, Neil Main, and his company PM Consultant. Like many smaller survey practices, Neil selects the technology he invests in very carefully. This story looks at why he felt the time was right to purchase a Trimble SX10 Scanning Total Station and make the move into 3D laser scanning.

Combining high-quality performance, simple installation and easy operation.
KOREC, Trimble’s leading distributor in the UK and Ireland, has taken delivery of Trimble’s ‘New Generation’ MX9 Mobile Mapping System.
The MX9 will be available to KOREC customers either through purchase or as KOREC’s preferred system for undertaking large-scale scanning and mapping surveys on behalf of its clients through its services company, Professional Services (KPS).

The MX9 combines a vehicle-mounted mobile lidar system, multi-camera imaging and field software for efficient, precise and high-volume data capture, delivering up to 500scans/second. The end result is data of unrivalled accuracy, density and repeatability.
Ease of Use
The system weighs just 37kg and can be easily mounted on a range of vehicles in less than 12 minutes. Operation is through intuitive browser-based field software, accessible via most tablets or any notebook.

Many thanks to Geraint Thomas who supplied the information for our latest ‘Business in a Box’ case study – this one looks at how some clear thinking and hardwork has paid off for Geraint who went from zero UAV knowledge to producing top quality aerial imagery in just 8 weeks with his eBee RTK.
The theme for the May/June issue of Geomatics World is “Education is Crucial”, a subject that touches on many aspects of our profession from recruitment to career progression. Editor, Ian Dowman, also points out that this is something that’s covered in the latest KOREC article from our GIS and Mapping Business Area Manager, Richard Gauchwin.
In his editorial he writes, “Richard Gauchwin from KOREC takes up the theme of tailoring data capture to the customer. A key element of educating customers and providing them with what they need is establishing a partnership between educators, industry and users.”
Read Richard’s article entitled ‘Let’s Be Specific’ here.
The theme of our latest case study is very much one of monitoring being an achievable and affordable service that all survey practices can offer their clients.
“Achievable Monitoring” is based on the Greenhatch Group and their use of a Trimble S9 with Trimble’s Access Monitoring Module.

Market reports predict a significant increase in the demand for UAV generated data in 2018 and consequently there exists huge potential even for those who may have no previous knowledge of UAV technology but are prepared to invest in the right system, time and training required to offer a quality service that will see clients return. A great example of this approach is Rob Brocklehurst through his company Scottish Drone Surveys. Rob has specialist knowledge of the wind farm construction industry and has expanded his survey offering with the purchase of both a SenseFly albris for – track surveys and access roads and an eBee Plus RTK for
main site surveys. Read the full case study here.

Remember ‘The Beast from the East’? Last month’s snow has provided us with a great case study from Tri-Tech Ltd who used their SX10 instead of their usual UAV for an overburden survey in Scotland. Many thanks to Tri-Tech Ltd Owner Ted Harland for sharing the informatioin and pictures.
