Interview

5 Questions to… Thomas Stuiver and Peter Tapken, Geo-matchingSurveying and mapping projects require tailor-made approaches.

Every application demands its own specific solutions. All the

necessary geospatial solutions are available in a single place:

Geo-matching.com. We asked Thomas Stuiver and Peter Tapken,

the driving forces behind this geospatial product platform, to

explain the role of Geo-matching.com.

How would you describe Geo-matching?

Geo-matching is the world’s largest product platform

for surveying, positioning and machine guidance,

listing more than 2,000 products from 500 manufactu-

rers and attracting more than 250,000 users in 2017.

With our product platform, we provide an overview

of all the products and solutions in the geospatial

market. On Geo-matching, users can make detailed

product comparisons and view the latest videos, case

studies and helpful articles.

What is the role of your platform in the geospa-

tial industry?

Our mission is to inspire our users about geospatial

technology and connect them with product manu-

facturers worldwide. Staying up to date on the latest

geospatial product developments is difficult and time-

consuming. Every day, new products and applications

emerge that can help geospatial professionals do

their jobs even better and faster. By centralising all

the product information on one platform, we have

become the linking pin between users and manufac-

turers worldwide.

Can you give us an idea how Geo-matching.com

is being used?

Many manufacturers perceive us mainly as a lead

generation tool, but getting in touch with manufactu-

rers directly is not the key functionality for our users.

User surveys show that Geo-matching is primarily

used for product research and for inspiration/educa-

tion about geospatial technology. Various users have

mentioned that, for product research purposes, they

need to create spreadsheets with product information

from multiple manufacturers’ websites. Geo-matching

saves geospatial professionals valuable research time

and helps them find better product solutions faster

for their upcoming projects. With over 250,000 users

researching products, our platform certainly plays a

key role in the product evaluation and decision-ma-

king stages.

If you zoom in on the behaviour of your website

visitors, what are the main trends?

One important trend is the strong increase in website

traffic and enquiries from fast-growing regions such

as the Asia-Pacific region, Eastern Europe, various

African regions and South America. Furthermore, we

have seen that applications for geospatial products

have become more diverse. Enquiries have come

from infrastructure companies (e.g. road survey, cor-

ridor mapping, etc.), maritime companies (monitoring

of harbour walls), forensics (crime mapping and traffic

accident investigation), mining (open-pit survey, etc.)

and even some surprising sources such as New York

City’s Metropolitan Opera House (indoor mapping for

maintenance and monitoring purposes).

Geo-matching.com has already developed into

the largest product platform for mapping and

surveying professionals. How do you expect it to

evolve in the coming years?

Over 500 manufacturers are now involved in the Geo-

matching platform, but products are constantly evol-

ving and new types of products are being introduced.

For the UAV market, for example, things are moving

so fast that we need to update our specification list

every six months to keep the information relevant. We

are also constantly adding new product categories.

We are currently looking at adding BIM and virtual

reality, for example, because these technologies are

becoming increasingly important for the geospatial

sector. Also, with so many new users entering the

geospatial market, inspiring and educating professio-

nals will play a crucial role. This means that we need

to better explain how the technology works and how

it can be used. We will continue to be guided by our

mission: to inspire our users about geospatial techno-

logy and connect them with product manufacturers

worldwide. Our goal is not only to provide product

information but also to help geospatial professionals

when searching for products. So far we have received

lots of positive feedback and are very eager to further

expand the Geo-matching platform!

CASE STUDY


Tunnel Vision A California firm blends technologies to make short work of a tight schedule and difficult conditions.

Towill surveyor James LaBasco makes the tight descent into the pipe. They used special safety equipment

and procedures throughout the project.

John May is accustomed to taking on challenging projects.

But even he soon recognized that this one would be different.

Meeting the project requirements would involve multiple

technologies, advanced software and a team of dedicated and—

quite literally—flexible surveyors that would spend days working

in a cramped underground pipe built to carry water, not humans.

By John Stenmark

The work originated from a utility owner in Northern

California who needed to rehabilitate a 90-year-old

buried water pipeline. Over the years, the 54-inch (137

cm) diameter steel pipe had received periodic main-

tenance, retrofits and repairs, including a concrete

lining that would introduce significant challenges as

the project proceeded. The most recent inspection

revealed the need for more extensive work. Because

the pipeline lies close to major traffic arteries and a

water treatment plant, excavation to repair or replace

it would be prohibitively expensive and disruptive.

The client’s engineers decided to use a process called

“slip lining” to install a new pipe inside the existing

water main. The approach would eliminate the need

for extensive excavation and greatly reduce the time

and cost of upgrading the old infrastructure. In order

to design the slip lining and installation process, the

engineers needed precise information on the existing

pipeline.

The work fell to May, a project manager at California-

based Towill, Inc. He and his colleagues were called

on to survey the interior of roughly 1,800 ft (550m) of

the active, pressurized waterline.

In addition to determining the horizontal and vertical

alignment of the pipe, they needed to provide data

on the pipe’s ovality, or deformation from its original

circular shape caused by external loading at the

surface. May explained that the waterline had been

installed as two semicircular sections. The sections

were welded together using lock bar joints to form a

continuous pipe. Over time, the top of the pipe had

deflected downward in some areas, limiting the space

available for the new slip lining. The engineers also

asked for information on bends and vertical deflecti-

ons in the alignment, the ends of visible lock bars, and

the locations where transmission and distribution lines

connected to the main.

The Towill team knew that the only way to gather

such dense, detailed data was from inside the pipe. It

would not be a fun place to work.

BarrIerS To enTry“It was difficult going from the very beginning,” said

JR Gregory, a geospatial specialist at Towill who led

the pipe survey as well as data processing. Because

the pipe served as an active water main, the client

was determined to minimize the time it could be shut

down and drained for the survey. “Our original plan

called for 10 days of work inside the pipe,” Gregory

recalled. “But that was shortened to eight.” In addition

to the unforgiving schedule, the survey data needed

Towill surveyor Jared McNeil operates the Trimble SX10 during the pipe survey. The instrument provided

to be accurate and complete. There would be no

possibility to return to the site to collect any missing or

questionable data.

May explained that in the “old days” the interior of

the pipe would be measured using a wooden cross

frame that could adjust to find the size of the pipe.

The process is very slow, labor intensive and prone

to inaccurate or incomplete data. It can’t accurately

locate bends and other aspects that are important in

making the slip line fit.

3D scanning was proposed, but it also came with

some concerns. “We often use a blend of systems

to maximize the value and efficiency of our services,

but this project really put us to the test. There was a

suggestion to use a remotely operated transporter

called a “pig” to move through the pipe carrying a lidar

scanner. But we determined that approach couldn’t

produce the needed accuracy.”

Drawing on their broad experience in laser scanning, the

Towill team decided to use both a 3D scanner and total

station. They selected a Trimble S7 total station and a

Trimble SX10 scanning total station, both controlled using

Trimble Access software running on a Trimble Tablet. To-

will also owned a Faro Focus X330, which could handle

the short-range measurements needed for the work. In

places, concrete lining reduced the interior diameter to as

little as 48 inches (1.2m) and the scanning setups were

as little as 24 inches (60 cm) from the pipe walls.

Prior to the field work, the team tested their methods

and targets in a corridor at their office. The poor

lighting inside the pipe raised concerns. “We were

aware that in this environment some of the intensity

values might bleed out on the checkerboard targets,”

Gregory said. “To guard against that we used a mixed

approach of spheres and checkerboard targets.”

The team initially planned to use magnetic mounts

to attach the spherical and checkerboard targets to

the pipe interior. But the concrete lining was several

inches thick in places and the magnets couldn’t hold

tightly. They ended up using epoxy to attach many

of the targets to the lining. In other locations, targets

were mounted on tripods.

Because the surveying needed to relate only to the

pipe itself, the Towill team could reduce costs for

their client by using a simple coordinate system. They

developed a plan to establish local coordinates for the

scanning targets in the pipeline. They used the Trimble

S7 to conduct an open traverse though the pipe,

measuring multiple angle sets at each setup. This was

followed by the SX10, which provided an independent

check on the traverse and also produced scanning

data on every sphere. Both instruments performed

well in the dank, low-light conditions.

“Our concerns regarding the target bleed-out came

true,” Gregory said. “A large number were not visible

in the scanner’s point cloud. However, the SX10

saved the day by providing control values on every

sphere without having to revisit them. Because we

had problems with the targets staying fixed to the

walls, we wanted to stay clear of them and avoid

any activities that could affect the accuracy of our

data.”

Towill selected a four-person survey team for the

field work. The surveyors were put through extensive

safety training to qualify for access to the confined

spaces. Just getting into the pipe required special

harnesses and climbing through access portals as

small as 18” (45cm) in diameter. The client provi-

ded additional staffing for safety and aboveground

support.

“It was not a pleasant environment,” Gregory said.

“The access ports got smaller as the work progressed

and the instrument cases wouldn’t fit through the

manholes. We put the instruments into old GPS

Point cloud with control network nearing a bend in the pipe. The ghost images of the surveyors were remo-

ved during processing.


CASE STUDY


backpacks to carry and protect them. The pipe

was shut down, but water remained in many

places.”

Accessing the pipe from three different locations,

the teams completed the traverse and scanning in

eight days. The traverse stations were roughly 150 to

200 ft (45 to 60 m) apart. The team completed a total

of 130 scanning setups at intervals of 15 feet (5 m).

When the surveyors were done, the pipe was sealed

and water flow resumed. There would be no going

back.

TIGhT SPaceS and TIGhT SPecSGregory processed the data from the S7 and SX10

using Trimble Business Center software (TBC). Once

final control values were determined, he processed

the SX10 scans and converted them into a project in

Trimble RealWorks software (TRW). To provide additio-

nal quality analysis he compared the checkerboard

target locations to values obtained from the S7 data.

“The results were well within our project tolerances

except where a target was accidentally bumped,”

Gregory said. “This redundant parallel traverse provi-

ded an additional QA/QC benefit of the work. It saved

time, as we had unknowingly bumped several targets

during work in the restrictive environment.” He used a

semi-automatic process in TRW to extract coordina-

tes and elevations for the spheres. In many places

those values would be used to compute the location

of the scanner.

With the control established, Gregory next imported

the scanner data into TRW and registered the scans

into a single point cloud. He made additional quality

checks and confirmed the maximum residual for all

scanner locations was 0.03 ft (9 mm). The point cloud

was then cleaned to remove noise and unwanted

objects captured in the scans. Due to the confined

space, the surveyors and their equipment were often

captured in the raw data and needed to be removed

from the point cloud. From the clean, fully-registered

point cloud, Gregory created a best-fit horizontal and

vertical alignment along the center of the pipe. When

the team analyzed the alignment, they found multiple

horizontal and vertical angle points that were not

shown on any earlier plans or as-built drawings.

To model the proposed slip line, Towill technicians

used TRW to create a design cylinder inside the point

cloud. The cylinder was extruded along the best-fit

alignment and the software automatically compared

the cylinder to the point cloud at 0.25 ft (8 cm) inter-

vals. This clash detection analysis enabled Towill to

recommend the optimal size for the slip line and also

to identify areas of potential problems. For example,

bends or constrictions in the existing pipe could cause

binding during installation of the new lining. To avoid

this, Towill recommended shorter segments of lining

be used in certain areas.

In addition to technical reports, Towill exported the

results in AutoCAD Civil3D and LAS formats. The

combination of TBC, TRW and Civil3D enabled the

team to visualize and analyze the data for sharing with

the client’s engineers.

The Value of a well-Planned SurVeyMay and Gregory emphasized that the success of

the project was a result of planning and collaboration.

They took the time to understand what was needed

and develop workflows to suit the environment and

project. Old tripods were cut down to fit in the space

and Gregory joked about “picking short guys” to

perform the field work.

The survey has more than paid for itself. Using the

Towill data, the client could install the largest possible

liner to maximize the pipe capacity and do it without

major excavation in two major roads and industrial

zones. They avoided millions of dollars of costs for

excavation, traffic delays and economic distress to

local businesses.

“Things are on track with their construction schedule,”

May said. The survey and analysis exposed areas of

conflict and enabled engineers to adjust for problems

before they occurred. “Our work will greatly reduce

changes in the field that the client might have encoun-

tered if forced to use less accurate and comprehensi-

ve data.”

Project teams mobilize at one of three access points to the waterline. The work was done in segments ranging from 450 to more than 700 feet.
