Vehicle and backpack SLAM capture for roads, rail, jetties and long plant corridors.
A tripod scanner is the wrong instrument for two kilometres of pipe rack. Mobile systems capture continuously while moving, covering in a shift what static setups would take a fortnight to register · with the trajectory constrained to survey control rather than trusted, and the achieved accuracy reported per section.
When the asset is long and thin. A tripod scanner is the right instrument for a process unit, where a position captures a large volume in every direction. Along a two kilometre pipe rack, a jetty, a haul road or a rail siding, that same instrument spends most of its time being moved, levelled and registered, and the survey becomes a sequence of hundreds of setups whose registration error accumulates along the run.
A mobile system captures continuously while moving, so a corridor that would take a static crew a fortnight is covered in a shift. The distinction that matters technically is how position is maintained. Vehicle-mounted systems use GNSS with an inertial unit, which is accurate outdoors and degrades wherever satellite reception is blocked · under pipe racks, inside buildings, alongside tall structures. SLAM systems, typically backpack or trolley mounted, compute their own trajectory from the geometry they observe, which frees them from GNSS entirely at the cost of drift that must be controlled by closing loops and constraining to survey control.
The honest trade is accuracy. Mobile capture is a centimetre-class technique where static scanning is millimetre-class. It is the correct tool for corridor geometry, clearance and asset position, and the wrong tool for flange-level detail.
Chartered Engineer signed deliverables · continuous corridor capture · routes to the 3D LiDAR practice lead within 24 hours.
Corridor, access and traffic constraints walked before capture. Survey control established along the route at intervals set by the platform and the accuracy target, so the trajectory can be constrained rather than trusted, and loop closures planned for SLAM runs.
Vehicle mount for roads, haul roads, rail and open yards where GNSS is available. Backpack or trolley SLAM for pipe racks, jetty decks, tunnels, plant interiors and anywhere satellite reception is blocked. Many corridors use both, handed over between platforms at defined tie points.
The corridor is driven or walked at operational speed with the sensor capturing continuously, repeated in both directions where the deliverable needs full coverage of both faces. Capture is planned around traffic, shift patterns and permit windows rather than requiring the corridor to be closed.
GNSS-inertial trajectories adjusted to the control network; SLAM trajectories loop-closed and constrained to control. Accuracy verified against independent check points along the run and reported per section, so drift is measured rather than assumed.
Classified corridor cloud, centreline and cross sections at your interval, clearance envelope and gauge analysis where relevant, asset and furniture inventory with positions, surface model for the running surface, and handover in your exchange format and coordinate reference system.
Mobile capture is delivered against the geospatial accuracy and exchange standards your reviewers apply, with the achieved accuracy reported per section rather than as a single project figure. Every deliverable signed by a Chartered Engineer (CEng MIE India).
Three landmark engagements from our verified roster · quantified outcomes, no client names disclosed without written permission.
Backpack SLAM used along a congested rack where GNSS was unavailable and static setups would have run into weeks. Captured across two shifts without interrupting rack access, constrained to control and delivered as a classified corridor cloud for tie-in study.
Vehicle-mounted capture of the approach road and trolley capture along the jetty deck, sequenced around berthing operations. Deliverables covered surface condition, clearance envelope and furniture inventory without closing the corridor.
Siding and adjacent structures captured mobile and assessed against the required clearance envelope, identifying the specific locations where structures and stored material infringed the envelope.
