“HDS and Cyra's software tools provided an easy way to accurately identify differences between actual construction and our design model of this complex, exacting facility. Using these tools, the client successfully avoided significant field-related construction conflicts that would otherwise have led to schedule extensions and additional project costs."

“The sooner you catch dimensional construction errors, the better. The last thing you want to see toward the end of a project is some guy up on the 22nd floor with a welding torch. DEI’s use of Cyrax for construction QA gave us a lot of valuable geometry information, which in turn helped
us to reduce risk on the project and meet schedule without any fit-up problems.”

Millions of people have seen it in books and on postcards; millions more have seen it at first hand during a visit to Australia. Survey engineer Steve Denning also knows it from above and below: a quartercentury after the Opera House was inaugurated, his know-how was needed to assess the effects of weather and sea-water on the structure, and fix the wear and tear. The initial task was to restore the granite promenade surrounds and sea wall of the Opera House. more

It’s not really the application developers had in mind when they introduced the powerful, speedy and accurate Leica one-man robotic survey system – nor did they envision that one man might have reason to operate two at the same time. But that’s exactly what happened during three
surprising weeks this summer on the North Carolina shores during the historic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse relocation. more
