Fondasol and Ecartip stand out in the field with Mobile Mapping System

Last June, Fondasol, a geotechnical specialist, took over the activities of Ecartip, specialized in the realization of topographical and cartographic studies and in the acquisition and processing of land data. An investment that enables Fondasol to develop its presence in complementary businesses to evolve towards a 100% digital approach.

With this new expertise, Fondasol is perfecting its mastery of GIS (Geographic Information System), in particular with the will to identify the sampling points in digital. A know-how at the origin of the project of modeling in 3D of the metropolis of the Grand Dijon. The site was able to materialize thanks to an investment of nearly € 500,000 committed by Fondasol in a new system of dynamic acquisition of high precision.

In the field, Fondasol is strengthening its skills with the acquisition for Ecartip Groupe Fondasol of a new generation of dynamic mobile scanners (Mobile Mapping System) for mobile mapping of large-scale projects. This system consists of 2 laser scanners allowing the generation of a scatter of points in 3D during all the duration of the acquisitions and of a 360 ° calibrated camera of 30 MP for the colorization of the clouds of points.

With a range of 420 meters, an acquisition speed of 2 million points per second and a measurement accuracy of +/- 2 cm, it allows very high precision mapping of several kilometers of linear in record time. These 3D data can then be used to power many applications, such as GIS, simulation of urban and transport projects within Smart Cities, and web communication.

This solution embedded on a car allows the acquisition and the processing of the data of very high precision, to answer to numerous applications: cartography of the motorways (installation, security ...), survey of structures, tunnel inspection , auscultation of port structures, inventory of urban furniture, studies of archaeological sites ... Compact, precise and versatile, the Mobile Mapping System is simple to deploy, fixing itself on any means of transport (car, quad, train...).
