HOW WE STARTED

3d Automated Data Solutions (3dADS) specialises in off-site survey and design data management. The company was formed in response to a market demand relating to end-of-project auditing issues. Very often, principals and contractors would be at odds over volumes and claims – sometimes arising from the involvement of multiple contractors and sub-contractors, sometimes caused by last minute design changes, sometimes the result of not using the correct models for all layers at each stage of the project. The need for consistent, uniform and accurate data became increasingly obvious. This is a need that 3dADS is endeavouring to meet by

providing clients with a ‘one stop’ data management option or a

‘cradle to grave’ approach on any given project. In doing so,

surveyors are freed of their ‘data burden’, enabling more field

time and a better use of their expertise.

With offices in Toowoomba, Emerald and Canberra, the 3dADS

team consists of Survey and Machine Automation specialists,

each with over 20 years’ experience in Surveying, Design and

the use of 12d Model Software. The team has variously

worked in the fields of road and railway construction,

mining and airport infrastructure and residential

subdivisions.

3dADS can manage all your design and survey data

remotely, thus reducing the cost of multiple onsite personnel

and considerably reducing planning and execution time.

We can commence working on project data using your

tender information and later refine the detail once Issued-

for-Construction drawings and specifications are released.

As revisions to the design are ongoing, 3dADS has the capability to upload all new

revisions directly onto the machines in the field, thus ensuring that all operators are

working with the latest available data.

Clear and Grub extents can be loaded onto the machines prior to their arrival on site,

allowing the operator to go straight to work, thereby eliminating considerable standby

time.

OFFSITE DATA MANAGEMENT

3dADS has on staff some of the most qualified surveyors in

the market, boasting more than 20 years’ experience in this

field. We take the data from the designer (in either digital or

paper format) and produce the files required by the various

Machine Control manufacturers (Leica, Topcon, Trimble or

ABS).

We have developed meticulous procedures for interrogating

the design data before it leaves the office to ensure that the

original design and the finished product are fully aligned.

MACHINE CONTROL DESIGN MODELS

3dADS has a comprehensive working knowledge of all major

survey instruments and good working relationships with their

respective suppliers. All survey data models can be supplied in

requested formats i.e. Leica, Topcon and Trimble.

As with the Machine Automation data models, we provide design

surfaces for every layer of the pavement construction. This

enables field surveyors to easily conform all surfaces and

reduces potential errors when offsets are applied to finished

design surfaces in the field.

CONVENTIONAL SURVEYING DESIGN MODELS In our experience, disputes relating to quantity variation stem from not using

the correct models for all layers i.e. different start surfaces, not the latest

design surface revision and uncommon lot boundaries.

3dADS has extensive experience in managing and conducting Third Party

Audits arising from project design models or monthly as-constructed

quantities.

By validating all quantity claims on a regular basis and dealing with issues as

they arise, major disputes are minimised.

CAPABILITIES STATEMENT

3dADS’ primary focus is to provide accurate design models for all Machine Automation systems and Engineering Survey equipment. By managing and producing

accurate digital design models, we can also validate and quantify all materials listed in the Project Bill of Quantities (BoQ). 3dADS ensures your BoQ is consistent with

pre-strip surface and design information allowing for the early identification of potential variations and eliminating the risk in lump sum bids.

VOLUME VERIFICATION

3dADS will take the stress of end-of-month volume validation away from the surveyor in the field by managing their pickup data and comparing it to

both the previous month and the finished design to give an accurate volume quantity, whilst at the same time, confirming the conformance of the

construction.
