扫描，跨度和汽车

As part of Northern Ireland’s ‘Building a Better Future’ strategy to make it a better place to ‘live, work, learn and grow’, Amey Roads NI (ARNI) was tasked with building, operating and delivering improvements to a strategic road network across Northern Ireland (DBFO Package 2). But managing such a复杂的基础架构had its challenges - from costly road closures to interpreting hand drawings from the 1960s. ARNI had its work cut out, so it turned to the最新的现实捕获亚博ag真人规律技术， 这Leica BLK360，创建准确的3D point clouds和项目的图像。

The complexity of road infrastructure management

ARNI is responsible for高速公路和行李箱路540泳道，，，，140 bridges和辅助结构。该公司雇用Amey Consulting来管理新的和现有高速公路资产的生命周期风险概况，并complete surveys of the bridgesto plan for essential repair and improvement works, and as part of a regular inspection programme. All while keeping roads open and structures operational at all times – no mean feat. Any road closures would not only cost the company money but also take a lot of lengthy planning, not to mention disrupt traffic flow.

The BLK360 imaging laser scanner was designed to specifically address challenges like this. ARNI acquired a BLK360 and started to调查桥梁，创建参考模型and精确的3D扫描to support remedial work and regular safety inspections. Using the intuitive laser scanner and its iPad software, Recap Pro,surveying bridges became a far simpler process。A single worker can park safely on the hard shoulder of the motorway and, at thepress of a button，扫描桥梁的整个底面，securing detailed 360 degree，，，，HDR球形图像和准确的点云in minutes.

The scans provide3D point clouds，桥梁及其周围环境的图像以及扫描注释突出了混凝土分层和裸露的加固。这有帮助quickly identify the exact location and nature of defectsor areas of disrepair, rather than needing to解释站点笔记，，，，草图andimages。设计团队使用Civil 3D中的点云到创建表面，，，，elevationand部分图纸，，，，and plan repair works - including what parts, materials and resources are required - more efficiently. Once repair works are complete, a repeat scan can generate a complete as-built record for the health and safety file and can be used to substantiate the completion of works and authorise payments.

No turning back

Using the BLK360, ARNI can now carry out timely and accurate surveys and inspections of motorway bridges. For day-to-day use, the BLK360 is extremely portable, and the Recap Pro iPad software is very方便使用的。Compared to traditional surveying, it produces高度详细和准确的数据在每个扫描中。

Arni认识到BLK360将迅速返回最初支出的大量成本。例如，以前，安排完成完整的桥梁调查所需的总道路，最多可能要花费4,000英镑（4,456欧元）140 bridges，很快就加起来了。使用BLK360允许Arni准确地快速捕获所有基本数据，而无需昂贵和破坏性的道路封闭和交通管理。对于现在可以从坚硬的肩膀或安全障碍后面完成工作的测量师，这也使它更安全，从而消除了站在道路中间的需要。

BLK360捕获的细节深度超过了Arni以前能够捕获的任何东西。扫描传递给设计师，使他们能够立即查看需要在哪里需要补救工作，而不必解释不同的计划，图纸和笔记。“手写笔记的日子已经一去不复返了，并在照片中放大了，没有人能弄清楚我们正在看的结构的哪一部分！”Amey Roads NI的生命周期项目经理John Jordan说。“ BLK360已经证明自己是我们团队不可或缺的一部分，我们期待继续探索BLK360的可能性，并确定它可以改变我们的工作，创造效率并降低成本的新方法。”

乔丹因其2018年与BLK360的合作而获得了“放置人的第一类”类别的AMEY咨询奖。这个特定类别认可了对整体员工安全和福祉影响最大的个人，团队或项目。“ BLK360技术的使用有助于将测量师从Harm的方式中删除，包括许多风险的工作，包括高速公路上的DBFO2工作，”约旦说。
