• Turn-key direct assessment programs
  • Pre-assessment – review of current and historical data, determine feasibility, tool selection, define regions
  • Indirect Survey services
  • Direct Examination / exploratory digs evaluation
  • Post-assessment – root cause analysis, mitigation determination, severity ranking, reassessment interval, remaining life calculations

Monitoring & Maintenance

• Annual compliance surveys, traditional or RMU method
• Ongoing maintenance and remedial repairs
• Remote monitoring installation and management
• Data management

Indirect / Over-The-Line Inspection

• Direct Assessment Programs
• Depth of cover
• Close Interval Potential Survey (CIPS)
• Right of way status and points of interest

CSV file can be uploaded directly into customer’s system – no proprietary software required.

All surveys can be completed in one pass = Cost saving to clients

HawkEye is a reliable and robust over-the-line survey solution that acquires, and compiles, data from a variety of testing methods through a single scan, into a consolidated report and output data set utilizing GPS to align results.

Simultaneous Data Acquired By HawkEye

HawkEye System Features

• Utilization of three constellations to minimize signal drops
• Digital signal processing filters remove noise and separates signals without having to add external filters
• Analysis algorithm uses the entire collected waveform
• Data overlaid on Google Earth along with legal land description
• GIS compatible – uploadable into owner systems
• Data stored on hard drive in the field – less risk of data loss

Why HawkEye?

• Beyond max/min – unlike other systems which just measure max and min, HawkEye utilizes high speed (up to 200 Khz) digitizing with complete waveform analysis for all data streams
• Precision – utilizes sub-decimeter (3-5 cm) GPS positioning for improved accuracy
• Stability – system can operate on wifi or bluetooth connections for better stability
• Robust reporting – utilizes satellite imagery rather than schematics and can be overlaid with Google Earth and legal land description
• No proprietary encrypted software – raw data available in a transparent .csv file
• Data management – owners can upload, manage and utilize the data within their own systems
