A portion of a roadway that’s subject to flooding was scanned to perform drainage analysis as well as to map the existing conditions.

Prepping for El Niño

Above: A portion of a roadway that’s subject to flooding was scanned to perform drainage analysis as well as to map the existing conditions. As the severity of weather increases, so do the benefits of high-definition laser scanning for asset management and damage analysis. Editor’s note: Improvements in, and availability of, tools and resources for precise...

For this project we chose a Carl Zeiss Ni2 level made in the 1960s.

Quarry Monitoring

In Slovenia, a team monitored slope stability in an open-pit quarry using a classic, optical precise level and Invar rod.  Editor’s note: Cost-benefit analysis dictates that, for open-pit mines and quarries, steep slopes allow for the most efficient extraction of resources but at an increased risk of slope failures. This adapted paper outlines an example...
