The 360 Rail Services Geospatial business unit helped provide valuable terrain data in a time of crisis for a Class 1 railroad in the Northwestern United States. Within 18 hours of notification of the issue, our crews were on-site at a landslide collecting LiDAR data using a drone. This highly efficient collection provided fast, safe, and highly accurate data to the geotechnical engineers responsible for stabilizing the site.
