In recent months, we had the privilege of providing topographic and drone services for the Modernite site in Aalst.
There, OVAM is carrying out soil remediation for the underground storage of asbestos-containing materials originating from an above-ground asbestos mound and the asbestos-containing embankment layer, naturally provided with a secure cover layer.
LOD (level of detail) and LOA (level of accuracy) are used in the BIM world and can serve as standards for determining the levels of detail in drawings, or for establishing agreements regarding a required level of accuracy.
You can consult a land surveyor for various matters. Indeed, we do much more than just “measuring land,” as the word land surveyor might suggest.
For instance, a land surveyor provides ideal technical assistance on construction sites, in boundary disputes, and various real estate matters.
For both private individuals and professionals in the construction or infrastructure sector, it is important to always work with a good land surveyor. After all, you do not want the foundation of a bridge to be laid out incorrectly, or for your neighbor to possess a piece of land that is actually your property.
A question we receive almost daily: what is the difference between a Report of Boundary Determination and a Report of Demarcation?
The basis of this is quite simple, and to avoid unnecessary complexity, we will limit this explanation accordingly.
Understanding accuracy might seem like something strange. In GNSS measurements, for example, there is always a small deviation. Therefore, we do not yet know how accurate the survey is, or whether we are talking about relative or absolute accuracy. When does each apply? In this post, we explain it briefly.
“Automatic and smart measurement, that is the future,” according to Guillaume. He is curious about how drone surveying will evolve. Land surveying is becoming more widely accessible. You do not necessarily need a background in land surveying to be able to measure, as software and technology are becoming smarter. I am curious about the development of Artificial Intelligence, laser scanning, and satellite imagery from the air.”
In addition to boats, we can also perform bathymetric surveys (measurements of the water bed) using drones. To do this, we suspend an echosounder beneath the drone, which then hangs just in the water to perform measurements. The drone then flies a specific pattern via software.
Drone to BIM converts drone surveys into accurate BIM models and offers an efficient way to digitally map existing buildings.
An as-built survey records how a project was actually executed. This data often forms the basis for updating the GRB.
