Improve Vegetation Management Practices17/08/2009 |
| Network Mapping is soon to take delivery of their ALTM Orion C200, and is planning an immediate deployment in New York state, where the Airborne Laser Terrain Mapper (ALTM) will be used for effective vegetation management in heavily forested areas. Under increasing pressure from regulatory scrutiny, power transmission companies are facing urgent needs to better manage their vegetation clearances. Optech's ALTM Orion C200 is designed specifically for corridor mapping applications. |

Kevin Jacobs, CEO of Network Mapping, said to see the Orion's high repetition rate, low weight and efficient post-processing capability as a significant benefit to our utility clients.
Network Mapping's first project using the Orion C200 will be for the international electricity and gas company, National Grid, one of the largest investor-owned energy companies in the world. National Grid spends millions of dollars every year to safeguard their lines against vegetation encroachment, keeping in mind public safety and environmental concerns.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories |
|
The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
