Excerpt from Case Study: "Plowman Craven was approached by the Derby City Council to provide a detailed topographic survey to facilitate an integrated maintenance scheme for the Derby Inner Ring Road. Derby City Council specifically requested that laser scanning be used due to limited traffic management availability in such an urban environment. Final deliverables consisted of comprehensive topographic information in AutoCAD drawings. Information included strings and levels for carriageway lanes, channels, tops of curbs, back of footway/verge, and top of parapet plinth/ retaining walls. It also included dimensions, positions, and locations of features such as parapets, pedestrian guardrails and safety fences, lighting columns, abutments, piers, and gantry supports. In addition, location and girth of trees and other features within 4.5 m of the carriageway were required. Besides traditional drawings, deliverables included the complete point cloud data as an 'as-is' archive for future use."
