PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDINGD UAS Mapping: We are pleased to offer aerial photogrammetric mapping in-house with the utilization of our Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) comprised of a Leica Aibot AX20 with a Sony aR711 (42.4-megapizel CMOS sensor) for our aerial platform with processing done to Leica Infinity (Version 3.1.0.3188). We have an FAA certified UAS remote pilot on staff to fly the missions, with all work done in compliance with the FAA Part 107 requirements. Previously, we provided aerial photogrammetric mapping for various municipalities in the past utilizing consultants. The approach was a team effort where we established the horizontal and vertical ground control necessary for the mission and our consultant performed the flight and produced the ortho-imagery and planimetric mapping. We then performed due diligence by field verification of the end product prior to delivery to the client. The advantages of utilizing UAS as a platform to perform aerial mapping is the ability to mobilize and fly the mission on short notice within a window of clear weather, the ability to fly the mission below cloud cover and having a shorter timeframe to produce the end product. Avirom & Associates, Inc. owns 2 P40 Leica Scan Stations and 1 P30 Leica Scan Station as the company’s latest technological addition to the world of surveying. These Leica scanners are known for being the industry’s best performing ultra-high-speed laser scanners. Advantages of a laser scanner are the cost effectiveness of less field time, portability, endless amounts of information gathered in the field, accuracy and, above all, safety. The scanners can safely be operated remotely by a smartphone or tablet in busy roadway conditions or restricted areas. The Leica scanners can gather one million points of information per second. Not only does it gather a vast amount of information in one setup, it also takes an auto- adjusting high-resolution picture of the surveyed area to incorporate into the gathered information. 3D point accuracy is 0.0009 of an inch at 164 feet, with a maximum range of 394 feet. The scanners can also be used for forensics and public safety. The scanners can gather the information needed at the scene of any accident or onsite activities, leaving the area undisturbed. Civil/survey use is another aspect of the scanners. Laser scanning eliminates the need for site re-visits while gathering accurate information for topographic surveys, as-built and title surveys. Archaeological/historical sites are also ideal jobs for the laser scanners. Detailed geometry can be obtained for restoration or excavation without disturbing any site. As-built information of power plants, water treatment plants and any other structures, onshore or offshore, requiring detail with less disruption is achievable. Deliverable products can range from 2D plans, 3D models, fly-through videos and TIN files for elevation and volume calculations. These Leica Scan Stations provide a cost-effective alternative of gathering information accurately no matter what terrain or condition. Total Station with Carlson Software: Our field crews use a total station, an electronic/optical instrument, for surveying and building construction. A total station is an electronic theodolite (transit) integrated with an electronic distance meter (EDM) to read slope distances form the instrument to a particular point. The accuracy and versatility of a Total Station can increase efficiency and accuracy simultaneously.
