“I was pretty skeptical. I really didn’t think it would go as quick as it did…but Cyrax would be my choice
for this type of project going forward. What I see as one of the biggest benefits of this technology, however,
is being able to avoid return visits to the site. When a client says, ‘Can you get this additional information
for me?’ we can just go into our scans and retrieve it and produce the information they need in a couple of
hours instead of having to spend another day to go back out and do more surveying.”

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
