Automated Surveying for Construction and Aggregates
Sodex Innovations – Automated Real-Time Terrain Documentation for Civil Engineering and Aggregates
Survey-grade 3D data for earthmoving, aggregates, utility construction, and infrastructure projects that demand accurate, consistent up-to-date site documentation.
Construction and aggregates teams face the same challenges: surveying crews stretched across too many sites, drone data that takes days to process, and documentation gaps that lead to rework, disputes, and missed billing.
Sodex Innovations takes scheduling, waiting, and slow data exchange out of the equation. Our solutions enable earthmoving, aggregate, pipeline, and infrastructure companies to make smarter decisions through real-time data derived from automated terrain documentation.
The ecosystem of machine-mounted LiDAR scanners, handheld photogrammetry devices, and cloud-based processing delivers survey-grade 3D data with minimal manual intervention, continuously captured during normal operations without dedicated personnel or production downtime. Stockpile monitoring, cross-section checks, volume calculations, and reporting have never been this easy.
Your sites change daily. Your data should too.
Survey data arrives almost immediately, not next week.
Your machine captures a live point cloud while it works. An up-to-date model is available for review on the web almost immediately.
Volumes you can invoice against.
Track cut and fill throughout the day and calculate material quantities without pulling anyone off a machine.
A record that holds up.
3D models are enhanced with automatically captured photos, giving you visual documentation of progress and quality to hand to an owner or engineer.
One platform. Many data sources.
SDX-Cloud processes and combines project data from Sodex devices (SDX-Compact, SDX-PocketScan, SDX-4DVision), third-party drone imagery, terrestrial scanners, GNSS, total stations, and machine control systems in one centralized environment.
Data that fits your existing workflow.
Export to Trimble Business Center or any CAD-based program, or work directly in SDX-Cloud.
