Data | Experience | Results

While many of our customers call upon us for our avant-garde thinking and leading-edge technology, others rely on us for more traditional engineering and surveying services and methods. But some customers need more than measuring and aligning. That's why we are proud to offer a comprehensive selection of professional assistance and consulting services, all reflecting our engineering experience and expertise.

Data

Due to the complexity of many of our jobs we utilize laser scanning technology, robotic total stations, and GPS for the majority of our commercial and industrial surveys. Our laser scanner maps and models large, complex sites and structures in minutes with unprecedented levels of detail and accuracy—scanning hundreds of thousands of locations points in minutes! We can scan during construction and upgrades creating detailed diagrams and generating accurate computerized models that are often available immediately in the field on a laptop. This speed and accuracy of information greatly reduces customer downtime.

Results

Falk PLI's field-to-finish efforts have helped clients realize increased profitability. Our advanced data collection techniques have a major impact in the field, which then improve design reliability in the office, and leads to fewer field changes during construction. We do it safer, faster, and more reliably, reducing the overall project cost.

Falk-PLI worked on Chicago’s "Revive Wacker Drive" project, providing construction engineering and survey control. We met the client's needs with 60% fewer manpower than was budgeted.

Falk PLI performed construction survey control at the 50-story Hyatt Hotel project at 71 South Wacker in downtown Chicago. We provided critical measurements for raising the core elevator shaft and completing work each floor.

After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Falk PLI provided modeling and measuring services on a number of oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico to facilitate the design and fabrication for needed repair and upgrade work. This ensured first-time fit of fabricated assemblies, avoiding costly rework. We also work on derrick alignment to assure that drilling equipment is properly aligned to increase equipment uptime.
