revisit a site, which saves us time and manpower," he says. "This feature also enables us to quickly answer client requests for additional data without making another trip to the site – which is a big competitive advantage for us." Sometimes the scan even captures assets outside the original planning. For example, on one project, RPA noticed a trestle that the client would never have been able to get their equipment through if they didn't know it was there. Although this wasn't within the scope of RPA's work, because the SX10 picked it up, the client was able to avoid a potentially time-consuming and costly headache. "The SX10 lets a surveyor focus on the boundary instead of worrying about whether they missed a building corner, a fence post or any of the other things that need to be measured," says Pawlowski. "At the end of the day, I'd rather get too much data and have to throw it out than have to go back to a site two or three times." The SX10 lets a surveyor focus on the boundary instead of worrying about whether they missed something. RPA recently used the SX10 on an as-built project to scan a fire sprinkler system going into a new data center. "We're able to show the client where the lines are before they are covered or obscured by other installations," adds Pawlowski. "This info can be particularly useful to them for running utilities in the future." EASY TO USE, VERSATILE AND EFFICIENT With less time spent going back to the field, the RPA team can focus their resources on data processing and analysis. For this, they leverage the SX10's complete integration with the familiar workflows of Trimble Access and Trimble Business Center Software. It also allows for data to be shared between team members and enables direct collaboration with other stakeholders.
