Snapshot: The company is the leading provider of the state-of-the-art spatial imagery system in the western United States. The three-dimensional (3D), true-color models are used by builders, architects, engineers and archaeologists. The firm also provides other technical services and expertise, from environmental consulting to land surveying.
High-Profile Jobs: "Our innovative uses of 3D scanning have revolutionized land surveying in our community," says CEO Mary Darling. The firm's project mix includes 3D measurements to help the University of Arizona retrofit its telescope observatory, monitoring tunnel excavation for a residential developer and determining how best to clear a landslide from a public highway. The region's climate allows Darling to work outdoors throughout the year on land surveying and biology services.
Superior Equipment Pays Dividends: The company has purchased top-of-the-line survey and scanning equipment that delivers high-quality data quickly. Darling also conducts annual updates on its software, robotic instruments, laser 3D scanners and other tools to maintain the highest standards. Such consistent investment in quality attracts more clients and enables Darling to provide more value while reducing the time it bills for each project.
Faster, Better Results: By using state-of-the-art equipment, Darling can map in hours what may take other survey teams weeks to accomplish. In addition, such equipment enables clients to examine detailed data in easy-to-use computerized formats. "The accuracy provides customers with previously impossible-to-capture details," Darling adds. |
