How Atlas is transforming pavement testing with Baron Colbert

DATA-IS (Digitally-Assured Tunnel Assets - Information System), the final part of ATRIS (Automated Tunnel Robotic Installation System), received a detailed write-up from @tunnelling-journal. DATA-IS delivers real-time quality and safety assurance of tunnelling fit-out services, such as cable wall brackets. When combined, ATRIS and DATA-IS offer a fully automated tunnel installation and assurance solution, which can be integrated into modern-day construction processes used across different infrastructure projects in road, rail, water and energy.

How do we modernize a city's vital arteries without disrupting its heartbeat? The global challenge is clear: demand for energy, water, and data is soaring, yet traditional methods of installing pipelines often mean massive trenches, traffic nightmares, and significant environmental disruption. The solution? Horizontal Directional Drilling (#HDD). This isn't just about installing pipe; it's about intelligent infrastructure development. HDD allows us to navigate beneath rivers, highways, and existing infrastructure with surgical precision, minimizing surface impact and maximizing efficiency. The video showcases this perfectly: a 1,200-meter pipeline installation beneath a river, a feat of modern engineering that balances progress with preservation. Why is HDD a game-changer for future-proofing our infrastructure? Minimal Surface Disruption:  No need for extensive open-cut trenches that disrupt communities and businesses. Environmental Stewardship:  Dramatically reduces the impact on landscapes, ecosystems, and protected areas. Economic Efficiency:  Lowers social costs from traffic delays and accelerates project timelines, getting communities connected faster. Technical Precision: Advanced guidance systems allow for incredible accuracy, ensuring the project is built exactly as designed. This represents more than a technical achievement; it's a fundamental shift towards smarter, more sustainable, and less intrusive urban development. The future of infrastructure is not just stronger—it's smarter. #FutureOfInfrastructure #SmartCities #HorizontalDirectionalDrilling #HDD #CivilEngineering #ConstructionTech #Sustainability #Innovation #TrenchlessTechnology #Engineering

⏰ Geotechnical teams lose efficiency when working with a fragmented toolset. By integrating data capture, modeling, and analysis, geotechnical teams can eliminate redundancies and unlock significant time savings, allowing experts to focus on critical insights. That’s what Tecne Systra-SWS did to manage over 2,500 km of aging tunnels across Italy. By unifying their digital workflows, they were able to reduce modelling time by 25% and project delivery time by 21.5%. Plus, they improved safety and built a more sustainable future. See how they did it. 📒 Read the full case study: https://bit.ly/45vxgpF #CivilEngineering #TunnelEngineering #SustainableEngineering #Tunnels #Geotechnical #GeotechnicalWorkflow

Stuck with tools that can’t keep up? So were they. When E.L. Robinson Engineering found their existing survey equipment struggling with precision and efficiency, especially on complex bridge monitoring projects, they knew something had to change. The solution? Upgrading to the Leica Nova MS60 MultiStation. “With the MS60’s integrated scanning, our field data collection is much faster,” said Tom Rayburn, Manager of Surveying. See how the right technology took them from limited to limitless. Read the full story 👉🏼 https://hxgn.biz/4l3FADA

Great to see our colleagues at Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon at RIN Events Derby this Thursday. Alongside Leica’s rail solutions, we’re delighted to highlight the brand-new Xwatch XW5-R rail system. Designed specifically for road–rail vehicles, the XW5-R brings height, slew, and rated capacity indicator (RCI) functions together in one robust system. Fully compliant with RIS-1530-PLT Issue 7 and EN 15746, it supports ALO and OLE working and connects with the XW-Insite telematics platform to give operators and contractors safer, smarter control on the rail network. If you’re at Derby Arena on 11th September, make sure you stop by to find out more. Visit https://lnkd.in/ejyRq_RT to find out more about the Xwatch XW5-R
