Tri-Site equipment showcase: Innovation in action at Crow Wood Hotel

Tri-Site brought together professionals from the geospatial, construction, and infrastructure sectors for a day of live demonstrations, interactive learning and networking.

Set against the backdrop of landscaped gardens and tranquil lake at Crow Wood Hotel, the event offered a unique opportunity to explore the future of surveying both in action, and theory. 

Live Demonstrations: Sky, Surface and Water

Throughout the day, attendees experienced hands-on demonstrations of the industry’s latest and most advanced surveying tools from CHC Nav. Tri-Site offered a deep dive into the theory and practise behind: 

• GNSS sensors for accurate geospatial positioning
• The RS10 Slam Scanner for rapid mobile mapping in complex environments
• The Apache 4 unmanned surface vessel (USV), capturing real-time bathymetric data
• The X500 UAV drone, engineered for exceptional payload capacity and endurance 

Each technology was demonstrated live, allowing guests to observe both field capture and back-end processing, bringing clarity to how they work in real-world environments. 

Connecting Sectors, Sharing Knowledge 

From engineers and surveyors to local authorities and project managers, the event brought together a wide cross-section of professionals, eager to understand how these surveying tools can help support smarter decisions and smoother projects. 

The day kicked off with a relaxed networking morning, with hot drinks and pastries provided. Attendees were given the chance to meet the Tri-Site team, ask questions, and chat with peers from across the region. After two live demonstrations, lunch was served and offered a moment to refuel and continue conversations sparked by the morning's events. 

This was a day to connect, learn, and share ideas across roles and industries - perfectly backed by learning new ways to improve work-flow. 

Putting the Spotlight on Surveying

Ted Harland from Tri-Site said: “One of the main goals of this event was to put a spotlight on this amazing technology in the surveying industry.”

“We wanted professionals in the industry to know just exactly what is possible when you combine traditional knowledge with modern tools - and to feel confident in using these technologies on their own sites.”

What’s next for Tri-Site? 

Following the success of our Crow Wood Hotel showcase, we’re excited to announce our next event will take place at the historic Harewood House in Leeds on Wednesday 3rd September.

This upcoming event will continue our mission to bring surveying innovation to the forefront - with sector-specific demonstrations, interactive sessions and a focus on real-world application.
