Infrastructure

Bridges, dams, tunnels, and water networks captured by drone and terrestrial laser scanning, with defects located to the centimeter.

The asset class

The full structure, captured without confined entry.

ABYSS captures bridges, dams, tunnels, and reservoirs by drone and terrestrial laser scanning, covering the statutory cycle without rope access, boats, or confined entry. The partial photographic record, and the argument about who held the camera, is replaced with measured coverage.

Capture

Deterioration becomes a number.

Geometry is recorded to sub-millimeter precision and defects are located to the centimeter. The same positions are re-measured on the next cycle rather than re-photographed, so rate of change is a measurement your engineers can trend.
