Here are some we prepared earlier...

Heritage Work? In Adelaide?

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:16:57 +1030

Very rarely do we receive requests to survey something that could be slid into the back of a ute.

We were asked to survey a column, originally cast in the late 19th century (We actually scanned a replica of the column). Laser scanning was used and a model was developed from the point cloud.

Rundle Mall

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:15:52 +1030

CSS was recently tasked with the surveying of some aspects of the facades of Rundle Mall.

As many of the facades are complex, incorporating heritage buildings, statues and intricate architectural details, we opted for laser scanning and modelling, rather than conventional surveying.

This allowed us to provide a more versatile, accurate plan, within a very short timeframe.

This project demonstrates a key capability that laser scanning can provide:
More cost effective - Because everything visible is located additional site visits can be minimised or avoided altogether, resulting in better project efficiency.

This capability allowed us to model new areas outside the original scope as requirements changed, without the need for additional site visits. We were also able to provide orthographic images of the facades for the entire Mall to assist with planning.

We were tasked with providing surveying support to install a rockbreaker support structure alongside the existing crusher.

Using our C10 laser scanner we scanned the existing structure (on the ground in 4 pieces) and the crusher area.

The 4 pieces of the support structure were modelled and combined, and then placed in the point cloud of the crusher location. Several options were trialled to determine the best location with the fewest clashes against the existing structure.

city of adelaide clipper ship

CSS has recently been helping with the preparation work for the transportation of the City of Adelaide.

We re-registered the point clouds, and created sections through the ship for the development of the steel cradle that will hold the ship on it’s journey to Adelaide.

More at kanmantoo

Mon, 3 Oct 2011 09:11:48 +1030

For over a year Custom Spatial Solutions has been involved in the startup work at Kanmantoo.
 Some of our tasks have included:
• Underground service mapping and asbuilts.
• Crane rail and conveyor alignments.
• General structural steel verticality and setout surveys.
• General civil setout works for TSF, return water storage dam, etc.
• Levelling of secondary crusher to < 0.25mm.
• Asbuilt of over 38ha of plastic liner for the TSF and RWS.
• Runoff water storage dam DTM modelling.
• Stand in work while the mine surveyors are on break.

Kanmantoo mine

Thu, 16 Sep 2010 20:02:18 +0930

CSS has been busy at Kanmantoo, working on a variety of different tasks.

Construction of the entrance road and the earthworks for the plant are underway. We’ve also used a Reigl Z620 and our own Leica C10 laser scanners for scanning of the pit and other inaccessible areas.

Port adelaide station troughs Profile

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 17:08:55 +1030

CSS has recently been very busy working on the Port Adelaide rail viaduct and station refit.

One of our tasks for this project is to generate long sections along the troughs supporting the rail at the station.

The troughs are complex shapes, with many plates, bolts and other obstructions along each profile.

We have been using our Leica C10 Scanstation to survey these complex shapes and to deliver full size templates of the profile.

Port adelaide Rail viaduct PIERS survey

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:13:20 +0930

With the original piers encased in new concrete and up to 6m high a special solution was required to locate them.

A video camera, mini prism, extendable pole rig was constructed to enable safe, quick pier locations without any disruption to the passenger train service.

Finally a pole mounted camera was used to record photos of each pier to show the condition of the bearing surface.

Spalding detail survey

Wed, 5 Aug 2009 13:26:33 +0930

CSS was contracted to supply a detail survey covering 54 hectares of creeks, roads, reserves, pipelines and paddocks in and around Spalding township for the engineering design of a flood mitigation scheme.

SNAPPER TSF

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 13:56:38 +1030

CSS has just begun work at Snapper mine, south of Broken Hill on the construction of the Off Path Tailings Dam & Water Storage Facility and various other works.

Photos to come soon.
