Urban Subdivision Concept Planning and Design

Client: Al-Terra Engineering Ltd.

Contract Date: Sept, 2019

Distance: 14.5km

Nektar 3D was contracted to survey a subdivision in South-Central Edmonton for concept planning and preliminary design purposes. Mobile LiDAR was used to create a detailed model of the existing conditions including roadways, sidewalks, and surrounding buildings. The LiDAR scans were used to generate a full 3D CAD record of existing conditions including details of curb lines, sidewalk lines, poles, signs, and other features.

Spruce Grove City Center Area Redevelopment Plan (CCARP)

Client: ISL Engineering and Land Services.

Contract Date: Aug, 2020

Distance: 2km

This project involved generating a CAD record of the City Center area in the City of Spruce Grove to be used for detailed design. A total station controlled mobile LiDAR scan of existing conditions was first conducted using Nektar 3D’s laser scanner. The LiDAR scans were then used to generate a full CAD record of existing conditions including details of curb lines, sidewalk lines, poles, signs, and other features.

Township 510 Functional Planning Study

Client: ISL Engineering and Land Services.

Contract Date: Aug, 2020

Distance: 6 km

This project involved efficiently collecting and classifying a mobile LiDAR scan of the Township 510 highway north of the City of Beaumont. The scan was processed and Nektar 3D’s AI algorithms were used to classify the data into multiple features including (vegetation, ground, culverts, traffic signs, poles, fence lines…etc). All features were also produced in CAD compatible drawings. This information was used to support a functional planning study investigating the potential for grade widening along the road.

50th Street Grade Widening and CPR Interchange

Client: ISL Engineering and Land Services, AECOM Ltd, Alberco Construction Ltd, and the City of Edmonton

Contract Date: Oct, 2020

Distance: 10km

Nektar 3D used mobile LiDAR to support multiple stages of the 50th Street Grade Widening CPR Interchange  project (concept planning and design). This involved conducting multiple scans of the 50th street corridor near the Canadian Pacific Rail (CPR) crossing and the Sherwood Park Freeway interchange including all side streets. The data was registered and classified and then used to produce a CAD record of the area to support planning and design activities.

Edmonton Valley Line West LRT Expansion Project

Client: Marigold Infrastructure Partners and the City of Edmonton.

Contract Date: Nov, 2020 – Present

Distance: 28km

On this project, Nektar 3D was contracted to conduct a highly detailed LiDAR scan of the project corridor in support of several different project activities (planning, design, tree survey, site documentation). After completing the field data collection, the scans were tied down using total station control data. The data was then classified using Nektar 3D’s AI algorithms and used to conduct a virtual tree survey. The LiDAR scans were also used to locate boreholes and other roadside assets. Besides that, the scan data was also used to produce a full topographical survey of existing conditions in CAD compatible format to be used to support design activities. The Marigold Infrastructure Partners project team consists of Colas, Parsons, Standard General, Francl Architecture, Fast & Epp and Stantec.
