IMPROVING OUR REPRESENTATION OF THE REAL WORLD A discussion of recent projects at Heading & Associates
2
COMPANY INTRODUCTION One of Australia’s leading surveying groups Established in 2000 Maurice Heading director Extensive work history Hands on approach Specialising in: Engineering surveys Cadastral surveys Construction Supervision Construction Management Environmental surveys Design Applications
3
COMPANY VISION -Lead by example -Integrity – what we say is what we do -Offer high performance and deliver on commitment -Achieve outstanding solutions for all stakeholders -Conquer new boundaries
4
PAST PROJECTS Toorourrong dam wall – Water Resource Alliance Batemans Bay sewerage treatment plant – Fulton Hogan Wentworth Falls road duplication – Fulton Hogan Refurbishment of Patterson River tidal gates – Water Resource Alliance Hamer Hall redevelopment – Southbank Cultural Precinct Mortlake Gas Power Station – Bilfinger Berger Services Australia M80 Ring Road Upgrade – BMD Constructions

LEVEL CROSSING REMOVAL PROJECTS Blackburn St. Albans Bayswater

LEVEL CROSSING REMOVAL PROJECTS
7
HEADING & ASSOCIATES INVOLVEMENT Blackburn, St. Albans, Bayswater level crossing removal sites. Engineering & cadastral surveys Title re-establishment Pile set-out / capping Batter cutting Various concrete / steel structure works Road works & drainage Monitoring Machine guidance Source: levelcrossings.vic.gov.au
8
ST ALBANS LCRP - RESOURCES ON SITE 6 permanent surveyors (up to 12 during occupations) 5 Leica TS15 robotic total stations 1 Leica TS16 robotic total station with Captivate software 1 Leica 1200 total station 2 GS14 Leica GNSS kits with Smartnet Capability Occasional use of Leica P20 scanner
9
NEW TECHNOLOGY IN USE -Amberg GRP3000 Rail Trolley -Continued investment in latest Leica total stations and GNSS units -Leica Viva TS16 Totalstations -Leica Nova MS60 Multistation -Leica GS15 & GS16 GNSS receivers (SmartNet CORS or local base) -Leica P20 laser scanner -Captivate software
10
SHOTCRETE WALL SURVEY Engineers asked H&A to provide survey of shotcrete wall Doubt over exact position of wall Nearby service conduits identified in design model Wanted to check location against design Irregular surface particularly suited to 3D laser scanning
11
FIELD SURVEY Leica Scan Station P20 8 scans covered 210m corridor Easily captured and downloaded field data in less than 1 day Used built in camera to colour point cloud to aid visualisation Scans connected to site datum
12
Point cloud registered using Leica Cyclone software Initial delivery was point cloud
13
POINT CLOUD OVERLAID WITH DESIGN MODEL -Area of interest along wall shows nearby service conduits and point cloud -Point cloud looks nice but difficult to measure off
14
MESH FILES CREATED Mesh files provide a more useful output for BIM engineers Now a surface that can be used for clash detection
15
MESH OVERLAYED WITH DESIGN -Clash can be seen near stairs -Prompted re- design, saved $1000’s
16
ST ALBANS MONITORING CAMPAIGN Large campaign About 700 monitoring targets throughout the project Monitor various structures to facilitate safe operation of passenger rail adjacent to works Any movement in active track is of critical importance Horizontal & vertical movement measured Surveyed bi-weekly
17
SUMMARY OF PROCESS Determine engineering requirements Install targets Perform initial baseline survey and determine repeatable field process Continue to monitor for duration of works Report anomalies to engineers
18
PILED WALL NEAR LIVE RAIL Impractical / unreliable to measure targets directly on existing live rail Nearby structure (shotcrete wall) is monitored instead If wall moves -> rail likely to move Shotcrete wall is monitored Active rail track approx. position Temporary platform Future track
19
RESULTS SO FAR
20
SUMMARY Heading & Associates Provide critical survey services to clients Have a capable & diverse team of professionals Invest in the latest survey technology Have extensive experience in engineering and cadastral surveys
