PRESS RELEASE
Release date: 27th November 2014
Severn Partnership becomes first UK owner of
Pegasus:Two
A chartered surveying specialist has become the only company in the UK offering a mobile mapping service using Leica’s brand new Pegasus:Two system.
Severn Partnership has made significant capital investment in the new mobile mapping solution from spatial information systems provider, Leica Geosystems, becoming just the second company worldwide to purchase the device. The technology enables Severn Partnership to scan an impressive one million points per second with 120 metre range giving up to 5mm accuracy – enabling the firm to rapidly collect accurate data on any terrain.
Pegasus:Two combines the latest rapid collector Z&F Profiler Scanner, with seven cameras and a twin GPS system, together with an Inertial Navigation System. For Severn Partnership, the product will revolutionise the mobile mapping process; allowing the company to capture calibrated imagery and point cloud data together, making for higher accuracy, and faster data collection.
Mark Combes, Managing Director at Severn Partnership said: “At Severn Partnership, we understand that we need to invest in the latest technology in order to continue to offer the highest level of service to our customers. Pegasus:Two is probably the most accurate mobile mapping unit on the market and does not need survey ground control installed ahead of it. We will be transferring it between mobile vehicles, cars, vans, rail roaders, trolleys, and other vehicles to scan data across all number of terrain.”
Severn Partnership was already familiar with the accurate data output that Pegasus:Two provides, after testing the equipment out at a recent project for a client in Central London. The company claims that it has the capability to reduce five days of traditional laser scanning processes into just 40 minutes, producing more accurate data, in a less intrusive way, which the company utilises to construct working Building Information Models (BIM).
Mobile mapping is a geospatial data collection method that is fast-growing in popularity and usage. The process allows for rapid and accurate determination of position and attitude of remote sensing equipment, effectively leading to direct mapping of features of interest without the need for complex post-processing of observed data. While Severn Partnership is currently collaborating with other companies to provide the application of Pegasus:Two in surveying jobs, the company has bold plans for the technology.
Mark Combes
continued: “We recognise what an asset Pegasus:Two is to both our business
and to the companies whom we work with, which is why we are keen to really push
the technology to new limits and new terrains, to really showcase its
effectiveness.”
