Ground Truth: Laing O’Rourke on Unifying Emlid GNSS with DroneDeploy Scanning

Reality capture and positioning have lived in separate tools. Teams scan in one system, position in another, and reconcile the two before anything becomes a deliverable.

Laing O'Rourke set out to close that gap. Simon Roberts, Civil & Geo Managing Land Surveyor, joins DroneDeploy and Emlid for a fireside chat on how his team brought Emlid GNSS positioning into DroneDeploy Ground scanning to create a single, unified workflow.

This session is for survey, VDC and site teams who want scanning capability in the hands of the people already on site.

What we'll cover:

• One unified workflow for 3D capture – how Emlid GNSS positioning works inside DroneDeploy Ground scanning, and what that removes from the path between field capture and a finished deliverable
• Laing O'Rourke's approach to reality capture – how it has shaped their workflows and put scanning capability directly in the hands of site teams
• What's possible with DroneDeploy Ground today – georeferenced 3D scanning direct from a mobile device, plus real-time positioning in the field
• The GNSS solution behind it – Emlid on what's inside the hardware, and how the latest GNSS technology is changing the approach to measurement, layout and as-built
• Where unified platforms are heading – Simon's view on the shift underway, and what it means for teams still juggling multiple point solutions
