Operate & Maintain

Measuring from a safe distance

Our 3D laser scanning solutions enable large areas to be captured from a safe distance. The Leica ScanStation P-Series laser scanners measure 1 mio points per second and have a range up to 1 km. Using Leica Cyclone software, the model derived from such scans provides the details required to plan maintenance on roads and highways with significantly more density than traditional survey techniques. Being both safe and efficient, 3D laser scanning delivers significant value for road and highway maintenance.

Mobile mapping above and below the road surface

Using LiDAR technology and unique camera sensor solutions, the Pegasus TRK captures the road surface and surrounding area up to 490m. Pavement cracks can be easily identified with a unique imaging solution, and the quality and reflectiveness of street signs can be determined. Travelling at driving speed, long corridors can be collected in a short period. One-person operation of the hardware and the onboard data processing adds to the solution's efficiency and safety. And traffic disruptions are minimised by capturing data whilst moving at the speed of the traffic.

Coupled with the IDS Stream UP Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) solution, mobile mapping below the pavement surface can also be measured to detect any utilities and the thickness and quality of the pavement surface. 

Increase safety onsite and keep investments low with manual monitoring

Construction can be dangerous, and keeping people and assets safe is critical. Through Leica Geosystems monitoring solutions, you can detect movements on highways and road and initiate precautionary actions. Low-risk schemes may require campaign or manual monitoring over long periods, or when schemes may be of concise duration. Use standard surveying equipment combined with unique products and services from Leica Geosystems to increase investment utilisation.

Improve efficiency and minimise errors with semi-automated monitoring

When higher risk is expected, or access for manual monitoring is difficult or dangerous, people and assets can be kept safe with semi-automated monitoring. Using a total station and the Leica TPS monitoring onboard app and Leica GeoMoS Now! monitoring service, measurement, reporting and charting are conducted automatically. Results can be visualised and reported online to speed up the process to ensure any movements are quickly identified and actions are taken to keep all safe.

Enhance safety with real-time monitoring

For complete peace of mind, Leica Geosystems real-time monitoring should be deployed. For environments where the likelihood of structural movements is high, real-time monitoring is the right choice. Many points can be identified and automatically measured in cycles 24/7 and instantly checked to ascertain if movements have occurred. Real-time notifications are issued, and experts can immediately decide to evacuate areas at risk. Monitoring helps make infrastructure safe.
