探地雷达对所有人与Leica DSX

作者：Renata BarradasGutiérrez

The use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology is limited to highly skilled and experienced professionals trained on interpreting difficult radargrams. The newly-announced Leica DSX utility detection solution is changing this by democratising GPR technology, bringing it to less experienced users.

To learn how this disrupting GPR technology is bringing efficiency and digitalising workflows for mapping and utility location, Reporter caught up with Agata Fischer, business director detection and services at Leica Geosystems. Here’s what she had to say.

What is the DSX utility detection solution?

The DSX utility detection solution is a portable GPR designed to bring users the latest developments in utility detection with simplified workflow, automated data processing and the highest accuracy. Users can now easily locate underground utilities that are clearly visualised in DXplore software. DXplore is an intuitive software that gives users the flexibility to interface with various positioning systems in an easy way and perform utility verification on site. This solution combines the utmost GPR technology with the best-in-class positioning accuracy from Leica Geosystems devices.

How is the DSX simplifying utility detection?

Today, one day of data collection with a GPR sensor results in one to two days of data post-processing in the office. The DSX utility detection solution simplifies this process with the most reliable, simple and automatic procedure detecting every type of utility and generating a 3D utility map on the field.

用户不再需要解释原始的雷达数据并解释双曲线，因为DSX显示出具有自动化的GPR后处理和数据分析的清晰和直接在现场中的结果。数字实用图将在几分钟之内生成现场生成，并且可以导出到DX Cloud和Hexagon软件，以便与其他数据进行进一步集成。亚搏苹果app通过此实用程序检测解决方案，地理系统将市场带入市场更高效，稳健且易于使用的GPR系统，使用户能够在现场检测实用程序，并可以实时轻松检查数据质量，而无需等待办公室专家才能等待办公室专家验证工作。

Who should use the DSX utility detection solution?

The DSX was designed for users who need to locate, avoid or map buried utilities in a safe, fast and reliable way. This utility detection solution simplifies the work for companies involved in repair and maintenance of road and infrastructure as well as for surveyors with no GPR experience that need to map underground utilities.

Why should someone invest in the DSX utility detection solution?

Utility strikes occur every day around the world. The cost of damaged utilities starts from 1,000 Euro and can go as high as 100,000 Euro. Contracting an expert to do the utility detection work can also cost in the multiples of thousand Euros. In addition, an expert might not always be available when you need him. Investing in the DSX will save damage costs, cost of utility surveying, and down time of damages and trainings.

How does the DSX utility detection solution differ from the DS2000?

DS2000 is a utility surveying solution for experienced users. Data processing and interpretation requires experience, deep understanding of GPR and training users who will operate the equipment. DSX, on the other hand, is designed for non-experienced and first-time GPR users as DXplore software takes away the complexity of data processing so users can detect buried utilities. Even a user without any previous GPR experience can detect utilities on site.

DSX实用程序检测解决方案如何工作？

一旦定义了要检测埋藏的实用程序的字段，用户就可以以纵向和横向方向的线条以网格方法收集数据。数据采集​​完成后，DXPLORE软件清楚地显示了具有最低用户交互的检测到的实用程序。在软件上显示检测到的管道后，用户可以使用DSX或定位系统将其重新定位。用户可以标记地面上的实用程序，也可以将实用程序映射导出到可以进行发掘工作的机器上。
