MAURER constructs, tests and supplies spherical bearings for three-dimensional movements. Stuttgart.  A new main train station is under construction in Stuttgart, with entrances covered by large lattice shells of steel and glass. MAURER is providing special spherical bearings for these avant-garde and technically challenging structures to ensure they remain stable and flexible. The new station will initially have three entrance structures, with another to be added in future. Covered by steel and glass shells, they will provide access to the platforms underground and are subjected to a variety of forces. Alongside the weight of the structures themselves and the imposed loads, wind and regular settlements play a major role. Due to these conditions, the measurement and design of the bearings had to allow for certain components to lift up in specific load scenarios, in order to protect the bearings or the structure. A view from inside showing the “feet” of the lattice shel...

NV5, a US-based provider of compliance, technology, and engineering consulting solutions, has added the Leica TerrainMapper-3 to its airborne fleet following an extensive real-world evaluation programme across complex landscapes.  Proven performance for all terrain Survey teams mapping steep mountainous landscapes, corridors, or dense urban infrastructure face significant challenges, often having to choose between flying multiple passes to capture adequate point density or accepting gaps in coverage that can create delays in the office. A configurable LiDAR architecture, like that found in the Leica TerrainMapper-3, allows them to tailor the scan pattern to the terrain before taking flight, optimising data capture through circular, elliptical, and skew ellipse modes. NV5’s evaluation program put this flexibility to the test, validating the Leica TerrainMapper-3 across a wide range of real production environments and terrain types, assessing not only data quality but al...
