CPS Drainage Solutions expands client offering to include 3D utility mapping.

Congratulations to CPS Drainage Solutions (CPS), the first KOREC customer in the UK to invest in GeoSLAM’s new ZEB-HORIZON 3D handheld scanner.

CPS specialises in drainage surveys, maintenance and repairs and under the guidance of Managing Director, Neil Walton, has a policy of adopting new technology to remain at the forefront of the industry. In this case, the ZEB-HORIZON will be used for both above and below the ground utility surveys to provide clients with a full 3D representation of both surveyed manholes and inspection chambers as well as placing them in context to other utilities in the surrounding area.

The KOREC supplied ZEB-HORIZON has a 100m range and a collection rate of 300,000 points per second. For Neil, this means that he can provide his clients with a much more versatile deliverable whilst simultaneously reducing time on site and offering better value to the end user.

Neil told KOREC, “This new addition to our surveying tool arsenal opens up a whole new field for us and the possibility to expand into other areas of the surveying industry. In the short time we have had the scanner, new and existing clients have been amazed at how quickly we can produce detailed 3D images and impossible views, that can easily be imported into CAD platforms. We are still learning and discovering the full capabilities of the kit, but once we have got to grips with it on ‘terra firma’ we intend to take to the skies with a heavy lift drone.”

It’s the final issue of Mensura for 2018 which means we’ve featured some great new releases from Intergeo and also a case study that’s a bit different. This one looks at why service and support are vital elements in any purchasing decision concerning technical equipment.

KOREC is delighted to announce that under the terms of a new agreement with 3D mobile mapping technology specialists GeoSLAM, it has become an official distributor of the company’s ZEB-REVO handheld laser scanning solutions in Ireland. KOREC already successfully distributes this product throughout the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.

GeoSLAM specialises in the manufacture and development of “go anywhere” 3D mobile mapping technology, a range which includes its ZEB-REVO handheld, lightweight scanner, ZEB-CAM camera, and the recently launched ZEB-REVO RT (real time) scanner. With no requirement for GPS, GeoSLAM technology allows users to rapidly build a highly accurate 3D models within minutes, whilst on the move. It is adaptable to any environment including complex and enclosed spaces, and especially GPS-deprived spaces – such as indoors or underground.
Once mapped, the synchronised ZEB-CAM imagery and ZEB-REVO point cloud data can be viewed in GeoSLAM Hub software – in both 2D and 3D formats. For larger projects, multiple datasets can also be merged. Results are available in all major industry standard formats and users can select from a variety of export options and configurations to enable greater integration with 3rd party post processing software.

KOREC will be supplying the ZEB-REVO system which includes the handheld scanner, data logger and desktop pointcloud processing software, all backed up by KOREC’s world class support and training.

Mark Poveda, KOREC Group Commercial Director said,
“KOREC is extremely excited to be partnering with GeoSLAM to supply the ZEB REVO system. With the ZEB-REVO scanner you can very rapidly map a huge array of environments to an accuracy level of ±15mm. The ZEB REVO fits perfectly into KOREC’s product portfolio, offering our Irish customers enhanced scanning capabilities on projects ranging from measured building surveys, construction, stockpiles, crime scenes and beyond.”
