Transportation and Road Surveying Solutions from Trimble

Take your as-built and design verification survey productivity to the next level by harnessing the power of Spatial Imaging with the Trimble VX Spatial Station. The Trimble VX Spatial Station combines 3D scanning and imaging with optical surveying capabilities. Video assisted robotic measurements dramatically speed up the data collection process. With the QC image overlays, you can see all of your data overlaid on images of the scene, making it easy to confirm that you have all the data you need.

When making use of 3D scanning technology, it is essential to have the right tools to minimize the time it takes to complete the overall job, from field scanning through deliverable creation. The Trimble SureScan technology in the Trimble GX 3D Scanner optimizes your field scanning productivity by collecting a uniform density of points, regardless of distance to the scanner. For road surface maintenance checks, this means you won't capture too many points at short distances or too few points at longer distances, making both data collection and data processing faster.

Used in conjunction with the Trimble GX, Trimble Access for Spatial Imaging field software provides step-by-step workflows to make scanning jobs fast and easy, even if you are new to 3D scanning. In the Office, Trimble RealWorks guides you through the steps to create your desired deliverables quickly and efficiently.

Trimble's surveying solutions for tunneling address the requirements across the different stages of tunnel construction: from measuring, stakeout, QC analysis to target monitoring for control and surface scanning for inspection. These tunneling solutions also include office tools to create highly visual deliverables showing design versus as-built variations. Combine Trimble advanced optical instruments with specialized Trimble tunneling software and powerful office tools to create complete solutions for your tunneling needs.

With its advanced FineLock technology, Trimble S8 Total Station enables high-precision 1", 1mm+1ppm measurements even to targets placed closely together as often needed when taking measurements down a tunnel. A special tunneling model of the Trimble S8 also includes a high power laser pointer to assist in marking areas of over or undercut. In addition to typical measurement and stakeout capabilities, the Trimble VX offers 3D scanning for collecting many points quickly, ideal for as-built surveys. For more detailed and denser point cloud data, he Trimble GX 3D Scanner takes surface scanning to the next level.

For tunneling applications, the Tunnels module in the Trimble Access field software suite provides a step-by-step streamlined workflow for tunnel surveying activities, from simple profiles to superelevations. Simply select your job and define the tunnel profile, and Trimble Access will guide you through the measurements, design vs. as-built analysis and QC, and reporting activities. This specialized workflow for tunnel surveys simplifies each project, reducing learning curves and improving efficiency. Real-time data synchronization with Trimble AccessSync also improves field and office collaboration to get the job done as effectively as possible.

Use Trimble RealWorks software to register, visualize, explore, and manipulate tunnel as-built surveys to create highly visual deliverables, such as drawings or surface renderings showing areas of undercut relative to the intended design.

High speed rail construction and alignment systems require the highest levels of precision combined with rugged reliability. The Trimble S8 Total Station has been specifically designed with these demanding applications in mind.

With its advanced FineLock technology, Trimble S8 Total Station enables high-precision 1", 1mm+1ppm measurements even to targets placed closely together. This exclusive Trimble technology includes a smart target sensor with a narrow field of view. It enables the Trimble S8 to detect a target without interference from surrounding prisms. This is especially useful in the railway slab alignment process where multiple targets with very tight spacing are used.
