SPECIALTY SERVICES
Utility Vault Scanning
PBLA Surveying Inc. uses an inverted tripod
with a survey grade reality capture scanner
giving precise measurements, thermal
imaging, photo ID of cables, conduits,
structures and hazards. PBLA Surveying
methodology provides a safer alternative to
access vaults and record critical data for
future design and inventorying. PBLA
Surveying’s post processing of the end
product allows third party users to view
vaults in 3D, review thermal imaging, and
identify and measure physical features
within the office.
Drone Survey
The PBLA Surveying, Inc. drone
program was specifically developed for
aerial and utility mapping. Using
traditional aerial photometric standards
and modern drone technology, PBLA
Surveying Inc., can produce aerial
topography, aerial photographs, thermal
imaging, photo identification, and 3D
point clouds. PBLA Surveying Inc.’s post
processing process uses multiple
software programs to facilitate specific
client needs based on project
requirements, including 3D point cloud
classification and conversion to
PLS-CAD. The processes established at
PBLA Surveying Inc. increase accuracies
and reduces time from traditional aerial
photogrammetry.
13

SPECIALTY SERVICES
Pole Scanning
PBLA Surveying Inc., has created innovative
solutions based on client needs using
multiple software programs, aerial LiDAR,
drones, survey grade scanners, multi-stations,
and total stations. These solutions
accommodate ground line profiles from pole
to pole, inaccessible pole scanning, thermal
imaging, and photo imaging with the end
product showing a digital representation of
the field conditions. Once the planner and/or
engineer are complete with design PBLA
Surveying Inc., can provide construction
staking for grading, pole location, and SAG
layout.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
PBLA Surveying Inc. utilizes the newest
technology in Ground Penetrating Radar
(GPR), used to map subsurface features
including sewer, water, storm drain, gas
and electric utilities. Field crews deploy
instrumentation equipped with Equalized
Scrambled Technology (EST) which
combines low and high frequency
electromagnetic waves for an extended
range of depth at ultra-high resolution for
an accurate depiction of subsurface
structures. PBLA Surveying Inc., uses
post processing software on a geodetic
network to display utility locations in
CAD format. This in house process
provides greater efficiency, accuracy, and
reductions in cost.
