Course Description

Learn the fundamentals of reality capture, utility locating, concrete scanning, 2D mapping, and 3D modeling. Explore how technologies like LiDAR, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and Electromagnetic (EM) locators support safe, efficient, and cost-effective visualization, design, and construction.

Discover how accurate data collection:

• Streamlines collaboration
• Reduces project risk
• Supports informed decision-making across the project lifecycle

Prerequisite Knowledge

Participants should be familiar with:

• Reality capture techniques
• GPR and EM locating technology
• Application of utility maps and concrete imaging
• Creation and use of 2D as-built documentation and 3D BIM modeling

HSW Justification

Understand how advanced technology captures existing site conditions and supports the creation of accurate architectural, structural, and infrastructure maps and models.

Utilizing precise above- and below-ground infrastructure data:

• Prevents costly rework and project delays
• Minimizes risk of injury and improves jobsite safety
• Enables better-informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle
• Contributes to saving lives by improving planning and hazard identification
