Inspections are a crucial part of planning asset rehabilitation and maintenance. Whether you manage a nuclear power plant, hydroelectric dam, petrochemical plant or other large, complex network of structures, it is likely that you have had to call on divers, confined space professionals and HAZMAT specialists. Utilizing robotics to perform inspection tasks greatly reduces the risk of performing the inspection and increases the convenience if you own the tool yourself. Many companies are now opting to create their own unmanned systems teams. Part of those unmanned systems groups are mini ROVs and pipe crawlers; something global leader Deep Trekker understands in great detail. With this presentation, we will show the real-world applications where robotics have helped these utilities and companies save time and money.

We will explore the stockpile scanning option available in Trimble Access on a TSC7 controller utilizing the Trimble S7 Robotic Total Station. In this session we discuss the common workflow for doing station setups around a stockpile and scanning the stockpile in from each of the setups. After completing the scans we will compute a volume in Access as well show how to export out the raw scan data for computing in the office.

In this session we will go over best practices and proper maintenance for getting the most out of your Trimble Equipment. We will go over procedures for proper setup, transportation and storage of your gear. You will learn about the different calibration options along with an overview of when, where, and how these calibrations should be performed. You will receive tips on getting the most out of your S-Series Robotic Radios and Multi Track Prisms along with proper shut down procedures. With a few other tips and tricks thrown in for fun.

12:30-1 ArcGIS Field Maps is the new premium data collection app from Esri that is harnessing the functionality of Collector, Navigator, Tracker and will eventually incorporate Workforce and Navigator all into one app. Esri’s approach to implementing one app that covers multiple phases along the planning and data collection process is improving consistency and collaboration across organizations. We are pleased to have the product lead of Field Maps, Jeff Shaner, join us for this session educating us on what Field Maps is, where it’s going, and its key capabilities to emphasize how making the switch from Collector can benefit your organization.

1-1:20 Why does a DOT mandate new field software for all sub-inch ROW permits and what is the impact on future workflows? Interview with Rob Martindale, Utilities Program Manager for Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), will discuss how Colorado Revised Statue C.R.S. 9-1.5-101 (811 Law) impacts the management of utility data within State Highway Right of Ways. We will discuss how permitted utilities are leveraging new technologies including the January 14th, 2021 mandate of PointMan data collection software to utilize asset mapping workflows that enable CDOT to efficiently gather as-built locations and infrastructure.
Discussion with PointMan Product Manager, Ben Skogen, on integration of Trimble’s sub-inch line-up: Catalyst, R2cm, R12i. Real-time locator data integration into point/line features, including depth of cover, frequency, signal strength, (RD, Metrotech, Subsurface). Plus, workflows for: stakeout, move/update/validate existing features, laser offsets, and incorporation of SUE (Subsurface Utility Engineering) data into MicroStation, Bentley, Autodesk and Esri backends.

1:20-1:45 Trimble TerraFlex is an easy-to-use app for smartphones and tablet. Lauren Satterfield from the University of Washington will share her project, tracking the hunting habits of cougars in the Okanogan, WA area using accelerometer collars, and mapping it all with Trimble's TerraFlex app.

1:45-2:10 Why is this solution still a valid GIS workflow in 2021? This session will educate GIS users on the difference between using a recreational receiver and a high end GNSS receiver. What is the impact to a user when real-time DPGS sources are not available? Trimble's Floodlight Technology available on the Geo7X is still the only receiver capable of working in a hostile GNSS environment to collect and process reliable, accurate GIS field assets.

Drone (UAS) technology is being used for visual inspections of mosquito breeding areas or weed infestations. An overview of leveraging drone mapping to show changes over time, identify features, document activities, and provide material for public education.

Drone mapping with multispectral and thermal data can be a powerful tool for classifying different plant species, as well as identifying water saturated soil and stagnant water. During this session, MicaSense will discuss how the data from their 3-in-1 sensor, Altum, could be used to identify potential mosquito breeding sites.
