They say after 10 years of doing the same thing, you become an expert. Stuart Robertson, Team Leader Spatial and Data Services, has been surveying for the past 25 years, measuring to a level of precision few people ever need to consider. In this episode of The Entura Effect, Stuart and host Donald Vaughan dig into how surveying and metrology support crucial stages of the Gordon Power Station refurbishment. In an environment where some measurements need to be correct down to fractions of a millimetre, across an area the size of a school bus, Stuart explains the often hidden but crucially important role surveyors play in these refurbishments. Whether it’s the complexities of measuring the pivot ring for a turbine (and watching it physically grow and shrink as it cools down and heats up) or finding creative methods to measure hydropower equipment in tight spaces, Stuart shares some of the unique challenges involved in collecting data engineers can rely on.
