Mobile Radar - The Large Scale GPR Solution

We have recently made the addition of Mobile Radar to our service portfolio, allowing for the rapid and efficient acquisition of GPR data over large survey areas. A multi-antenna GPR array is towed behind a highways survey vehicle, covering a wide swath with each pass.

The system - which has already been employed at two sites over the past fortnight - uses multiple channels of closely spaced antennae to acquire simultaneously several lines of data whilst moving along a surface.

Antenna frequencies and configurations can be selected to suit site conditions and target requirements. All data is geo-referenced using RTK or PPK GNSS (GPS) and online acquisition software provides the surveyor with a ‘snail trail’ display ensuring full and maximum coverage of the site.

This provides for high resolution 3D mapping of subsurface features in accordance with the higher order PAS 128 specifications whilst mitigating the requirement for costly traffic management scenarios.

For further information, please take a look at our dedicated Mobile Radar webpage.

Scanning Above and Below the Waterline

We have recently completed a combined above water and underwater point cloud survey in Dorset, in order to:
  • Identify any remaining rock amour;
  • Map the seabed level, and;
  • Check the length of visible sheet piling.
The resultant data has been used to create a composite model resolving each of the initial objectives, as highlighted in the above image.

Further information on this project, including a video focusing on the search for rock amour, is available here.

Find out more about our integrated above and below water scanning services by viewing our 3D Scanning and Modelling webpage and downloading the relevant information pamphlet.

Surveying the Scottish Highlands
 
LandScope has recently embarked on an extensive underground infrastructure mapping survey in the Scottish Highlands with the aim of gathering information on utility services, drains and ducts, bedrock levels and road surface depths.

Our survey team has been using Mobile Radar to map utilities running both across and along the carriageways by acquiring GPR data in just one direction – as compared to the two perpendicular grid directions necessary using traditional GPR systems.

This will be combined with data acquired using traditional GPR techniques to produce deliverables of the highest possible calibre.

LandScope at ICE Bridges 2015

We are delighted to announce LandScope’s sponsorship of this year’s ICE Bridges Conference, at which we will be exhibiting our Bridge Survey and Inspection service.
 
Date: Friday 5th June, 2015

Venue: Institute of Civil Engineers

Following the introduction of our underwater multibeam mapping service – which enables us to complete accurate and high resolution point cloud driven 3D modelling beneath the waterline – we are able provide a real alternative to traditional diver based surveys.

Click here for further information on ICE Bridges, including details of how to register.

In the meantime, please download our information pamphlet to discover more about our Bridge Survey and Inspection service.

Introducing the LandScope Client Portal
 
We have recently developed a web based data delivery and data sharing portal to allow a client to access a range of spatial data and survey results.

The client is able to view and download data such as CAD deliverables, PDF reports and Digital Terrain Models in Ordnance Survey National Grid OSGB (OSTN02) / ODN.

It also enables the user to view the 3D imagery, acquired using the Trimble V10 Imaging Rover, hence providing the portal user with online full visualisation of the survey area.

We are hoping to continue to develop the Client Portal to suit our customers' requirements. Updates will be broadcast on our social media channels, in future newsletters and on the LandScope website.
