3D laser mapping of earthquake sites

Editorial Type: News     Date: 11-2014    Views: 2234   





New Zealand based Solutions By Zeal has been using the ZEB1 hand held laser mapping system to survey buildings at risk from earthquakes or in need of restoration or redevelopment

The company is now reporting savings in building measurement costs of up to 80 per cent. Specialists in low impact restoration and strengthening projects, Solutions By Zeal was the first to demonstrate and implement the ZEB1 in New Zealand.

Solutions By Zeal initially brought the ZEB1 to New Zealand for use on the historic Athenaeum in central Dunedin as part of project to earthquake strengthen and revitalise the building for community use.

"Our use of the ZEB1 on this project generated ripples around the engineering industry and generated headlines nationwide," commented Lawrie Forbes founder and Director of Solutions By Zeal. "Television networks were really interested in the possible implications of the ZEB1 laser mapping system given that New Zealand is rattled by up to 20,000 quakes a year and it is estimated the country has around 25,000 earthquake prone buildings."
