Here's a short video on some survey work we did for the Royal Commission, recording and underground waterwheel in a lead mine in Mid Wales. Laser scanning is the idea way to record heritage areas like this as it is portable, doesn't require too much light and can provide both academic and general public visualisation of important items. 

Big thanks to Rhydian at ICY Ltd for help with setting up underground and carrying survey kit up the hillside, it may look quite clean and dry in the animation, but I'm still cleaning mud out of all the survey kit!

We've also been busy with engineering projects, from surveying curved roof structures for the new development at Kings Cross station, London, to working with long time partners Parkol Marine in Whitby on modifying fishing vessels for greater efficiency. We've got some interesting projects lined up for the Autumn and we're looking forward to the next meeting of the houses project and finding out what our Italian partners have been up to.

That's the first of the YouTube videos up - it's some animations through the pointclouds we collected over a couple of days at Drax power station in Yorkshire on behalf of Alstom Power. All of this data was captured with the Faro LS880, working off the crane beams and topsides of the structure over a period of 2 days. The scans were tied together using a Total station and a set of spherical targets. Even with downsampling, the full data set in Pointools comes to some 550 million point, so not all of it is displayed in the video.
