“We are not only talking about reduced costs but also about the opportunity to construct secure and more lasting solutions from an accurate geographic source,” says Henrik Åquist, new CEO of Blom Sweden AB.

The challenge of laser data is using the right data for the right purpose. For example, laser data that Blom collects on behalf of Lantmäteriet for its New National High model project can be used for a general study in infrastructure projects. However, for projects demanding accuracy at a centimeter level, data scanned from a helicopter are better suited.

The biggest demand for laser data in infrastructure projects today are in projects related to roads, railroads, harbors, and power lines. Using its TopEye technology for road projects, Blom has been one of the pioneers and major data collectors since the middle of the 1990s.
