Testing SLAM technology against traditional topographical surveying workflows with Denn Engineers

Join Noah Eckhous from NavVis and Mike Walle from Denn Engineers in downtown Culver City for an exploration of how SLAM-based data capture technology is transforming topographical survey workflows. In this detailed video, we embark on a #topographical survey project covering approximately 409,000 square feet of cityscape, from back of walk to back of walk, alongside an ADA topographical survey of an intersection. This comparative study showcases the efficiency and data richness of using NavVis's technology over traditional survey methods.

Mike also shares his insights into the significant time savings achieved and the incredible amount of detailed data collected in a fraction of the time typically required. The discussion delves into the practical applications of this technology in various projects, including ADA compliance for ramps and outdoor seating arrangements for restaurants post-COVID.

Watch the full video here to gain a comprehensive understanding of the benefits of integrating advanced scanning technology into surveying projects for time efficiency, cost savings, and improved data accuracy.
