Let’s talk bridges! Did you know that SAM recently won a ACEC National Engineering Excellence Award? The "Texas Department of Transportation 2020 Bridge Clearance Program Schedule" addressed the safety of 4,448 bridges across Texas over three years. SAM leveraged our Mobile LiDAR technology to map bridge clearances and acquire feature extractions. We used GIS to gather an asset inventory, streamlining the inspection process of each bridge. The relative vertical accuracy of the Mobile LiDAR over paved roads was 0.02’ (0.61-cm) or better. The horizontal relative accuracy for the Mobile LiDAR was 0.10’ (3.33-cm) or better. #TxDOT #DOT #Survey #Mapping. #Lidar #GIS #Bridge #DOT #transporation #engineering #design #mobileLiDAR #accuracy #pointcloud #departmentoftransportation #inspection

Ohhhh.... Fancy! SAM can map 45 acres in 16 minutes! With good conditions we can map 200-300 acres in 1 day. This is also a wide angle LiDAR which allows for a large area data capture. Our team is trained and ready to use our newest drone, the Phoenix LiDAR Systems Recon XT w/Freefly Astro. #drones #survey #mapping #technology #LiDAR #technology

As the ArcGIS toolkit continues to grow and expand, keeping up with the basics is critical—and rewarding. Tripp Corbin, GISP, builds on his last Arcade video to examine and explain the basic syntax required to create your own custom expressions in ArcGIS for labeling, symbology, and more to help users with many different aspects of their workflow. Watch the video here https://bit.ly/3WiN8sk to learn more about this exciting and powerful expression language.
