Asset management is the practice of managing assets to achieve the greatest return (particularly useful for productive assets such as plant and equipment), and the process of monitoring and maintaining facilities systems, with the objective of providing the best possible service to users.

PDM has in-house GIS specialists that utilise a range of asset collection tools from laser scanning to high-definition imagery capture to assist in the information gathering and measurement of assets.

PDM’s Laser Asset Measurement System (LAMS) utilises one of the most versatile LiDAR systems on the market today and current high-definition imagery capture devices for the delivery of high-density point clouds and colour geo-referenced imagery.

Imagery capture

Laser scanning

PDM’s LAMS System’s versatility is in its capability of easily being fitted to either a standard road vehicle, all-terrain vehicle (ATV), train, boat or aerial platform, which truly stands out from other mobile units. PDM additionally have the flexibility to either front or rear mount the scanner on both a standard vehicle and ATV. This provides for fast and safe collection of LiDAR data in all environments.

At PDM, we utilise a forward-mounted scanning system to capture gravel roads, ensuring the best quality imagery is obtained. Further versatility is provided with PDM’s scanning system having the capability to provide static scanning by utilising a Faro Focus 3D scanner for high density of static environments. This delivers to our clients unparalleled flexibility of both mobile and static scanning solutions.

In addition to a versatile scanning system, PDM’s scanning team has a strong background in engineering and modelling. This gives PDM the edge in delivering a product suitable for its intended task, as there is first-hand knowledge in how the data can be utilised in new and existing workflows.

Laser and imagery capture

PDM utilises a range of equipment and methods of scanning to best suit the objectives of our clients and the environment being captured digitally. PDM’s LAMS platform is extremely versatile, able to be mounted on a range of vehicles in various configurations to suit the environment being scanned. This includes:

  • Road vehicle (forward or rear mounted)
  • ATV
  • Helicopter
  • Boat
  • Rail

In addition, for high-density scans of static environments PDM utilises a Faro scanner to complement the mobile scanning equipment.

Applications of LiDAR scan data

The output of PDM’s LiDAR scanning systems can be utilised in an ever-increasing number of applications such as:

  • Ground/Surface Modelling
  • Asset Management
  • GIS/Mapping
  • Historic/Heritage Data Capture
  • As Constructed/Built Modelling
  • Reverse Engineering
  • Modelling for Movies/Games/Simulations
  • Volumetric Analysis
  • Flood Modelling
  • City Planning

The field is rapidly evolving, with new applications being realised as the full potential of reality capture is unlocked across a variety of fields.

LAMS asset capture

PDM’s survey-grade, high-definition mobile video equipment is ideal for councils to measure and view their roads with precision and clarity. The demonstrated benefits regarding this technology are the rapid capture and assessment for DRFA claims and asset condition assessments that is accurate and repeatable.

In Queensland, the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) has been born to manage the State Government interest in controlling finances to councils for disaster relief. This has seen techniques for assessment and technologies that vary significantly. PDM is leading the way in North Queensland with its mobile mapping system by providing councils with accurate data that QRA insist be provided as evidence for any damage claim on council assets.
