Terracopta - Solutions

Solutions

We offer industry-leading geo-spatial solutions to assist our clients from design, implementation, and quality control to As-Build documentation in GIS. With the understanding that our sister companies have a reputation for excellence and in-depth industry knowledge, we maintain the same standards in all our deliverables.

All our methods of data collection and processing was diligently tested and compared with traditional and trusted methods ensuring our deliverables are accurate and reliable. The results speak for themselves through several successfully completed projects and returning clients.

Electrical Generation and Distribution

We are quipped and experienced in the mapping of any area and the modelling of any existing towers, lines and structures. Our point clouds are classified according to Eskom LiDAR specifications allowing for seamless integration with current PlsCAD and current workflows.

Our RPAS is equipped with the following sensors:

Corona (Ultra Violet)
Thermal (Infra-Red)
Vegetation (near wave)
HD Video
LiDAR sensors
3D Scanning

Our Expertise include:

Line crossings: Improve time and cost efficiency from start to finish with our geospatial information
Line tie-ins: Get all the geospatial data of the existing lines and towers without going on site
Corridor mapping: Large scale mapping of new projects and auditing of existing infrastructure
Setting out of new lines: Turnkey service for the setting out staking-tables and foundations
Progress monitoring: Know exactly what is happening on the ground by conducting regular surveys
Improve reporting, Communication and Quality Control
Inspection: Preventative maintenance inspections of existing towers and lines
GIS: Creating accurate dependable data base of existing infrastructure
Vegetation calculations: Determine vegetation height and type
River crossings: Impossible to reach areas now at your finger tips
Mountain sides: For best tower position and leg extension calculation

Construction

It is time to reinvent the quality control systems in the construction industry and to take advantage from information technology that is developed specifically for the construction industry and assisting with design, planning, quality control and implementation of the following:

BIM: Shareable platform to compare design with current as-built on-site information
Construction Planning: Recurring documentation of progress to assist with planning
Construction Auditing
Progress Monitoring
Quality Assurance: Improve reporting, Communication and control with our BIM solution
Topographical Surveys: In a fraction of the time compared to traditional surveys
Earth Work Progress and Volumetric Calculations: Once we have acquired the data, other deliverables like volume calculations, surface and height measurements is only a click away.

Engineering

We deliver highly accurate and feature coded dense point clouds in LAS, LAZ and XYZ format together with TIN models with break lines in Civil3D and Modelmaker as part of our Structural:

Transportation: As-built data of Roads, Railways and Bridges
River and dam flood lines: Easily calculate flood lines with our deliverables
Topographical surveys: In a fraction of the time compared to traditional surveys
