Surveying Germany’s Biggest Aqua Park

Author: Renata Barradas Gutiérrez

Before the indoor water world Rulantica, in Rust, Germany opened its door for all visitors, all pieces of the puzzle needed to fit together to create this 32,600-square-metre indoor park.

Saladin Keller’s company,Keller planen + bauen,was in charge of planning the entire traffic infrastructure, as well as measuring the positions of points, distances and angles between the structures that conform Germany’s biggest water attraction park, Rulantica. Part of Europa-Park company, Europe’s second most popular theme park resort, the water world themed in Nordic style features 25 attractions, including 17 water slides, a wave pool, and a 250-meter lazy river.

瀑布，滑梯和懒惰的河流的精度

Keller accompanied the plan and construction of Rulantica since its start in 2015. The surveyor started staking out a sewage canal of more than 2 kilometres in length that today connects the entire park.

凯勒（Keller）配备了Leica Geosystems硬件和软件，能够为水上乐园的计划和建设提供所有测量服务。为了衡量和定位水生幻想世界的复杂几何形状，凯勒使用了：

• Leica Viva TS16总站
• Leica CS20现场控制器
• Leica Viva GS16 smart antenna
• Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner
• Leica Caintivate测量现场软件
• Leica Infinity survey software
• Leica Cyclone REGISTER point cloud registration software
• Leica CloudWorx

This portfolio has enabled him to work on diverse projects within Rulantica. Some of his tasks included staking out pipes, performing construction survey, including planning roads, parking spots, and staking out for construction companies (street height, kerbs, green areas, pools).

“Working on diverse tasks within the Europa-Park complex, including the new water park Rulantica, is a challenging but rewarding project. I feel privileged to be working on it and love seeing how new attractions are being constructed,”said Keller.“The project timeline often demands instruments of the highest precision and accuracy that also enable me to work under any given weather conditions. With the Leica Geosystems instruments, I am able to react fast to my customer’s needs and deliver the best results.”

Once Keller surveys an area, he works with craftsmen who need the gathered data, namely electricians and construction workers. Depending on the needs, Keller provides planning documentation, such as site and location maps, longitudinal profiles and cross sections in diverse formats, such as dwg, dxf, rcp, and pdfs.

Shifting from construction to surveying total stations

一些测量员,凯勒studied Civil Engineering and entered the surveying business through construction projects.凯勒（Keller）开始使用GNSS进行构造来衡量和放大点。随着项目的复杂性，他获得了TS16总站和GS16智能天线，在比较和测试测量品牌后将自己定位在现场。

经过一位来自列卡地理系统的代表进行的两天培训，凯勒准备从建筑转变为测量工具。

“与Leica Viva TS16合作的最大优势是使用SmartPole重新剖面，因为它可以帮助我节省大量时间。重新定位乐器也非常舒适。在视线失落的情况下，TS16的棱镜跟踪功能使我的生活更加轻松，控制器和总站之间的范围也是如此，”凯勒解释说。

扫描欧罗巴公园

在测量总站和GNSS进行测量之后，凯勒添加了他的投资组合AN RTC360 3D激光扫描仪。在3D激光扫描仪上，他能够自己扫描欧罗巴公园 - 这是一项艰巨的任务，他需要快速，敏捷和精确。在其工具箱中使用RTC360还使Keller可以解决现场的任何紧急请求。当需要进行时间和维护工作时，请要求他的激光扫描服务来帮助重建零件，调整管道和地图实用程序。

“After doing a laser scan test in an area of the park with the RTC360 everybody was thrilled about how amazing it looks and how fast it is,”said Keller.

自制的测量业务

凯勒（Keller）开始与GNSS进行调查，随着项目开始上升，他通过机器人总站扩大了投资组合。bob apple如今，配备了最快的激光扫描仪，他甚至能够击败招标，并承担为欧洲第二大主题公园提供激光扫描服务的全面任务。通过扩展其设备投资组合，这位企业家能够为他的客户提供新服务。
