A Southern California engineering company has requirements to survey electrified underground vaults to asses the operational condition of the utility assets contained within. Traditional inspections require survey crews of five to ten individuals, significant time to properly ventilate the vault, and power outage notifications distributed to surrounding buildings. Exposure to the underground elements can be hazardous and power shutdowns are expensive disruptions to local businesses. However, it must be done in order to safely access the vaults. In response, Flight Evolved and I developed LiDAR Acquisition Remote System (LARS). LARS is a LiDAR equipped robot that is deployed into vaults deemed otherwise inaccessible. The LiDAR scanner is remotely operated and returns accurate 3D point clouds without requiring a single person to enter the vault. The data allows survey inspectors to reference information from the safety of their desks and has proven extremely valuable to our clients. I am the project lead on the data acquisition, 3D modeling, and content presentations to our customers. I have created customized user-friendly data ingestion methods and animations to explain best practices for data visualization. In addition, I create marketing materials and website landing page designs (above) for the company.
