Organised through UK Trade and Investment the free to attend forum will feature demonstrations of the leading laser scanning monitoring system SiteMonitor as well as the world’s first truly mobile, hand held, rapid laser mapping system ZEB1. With support from UK based 3D Laser Mapping and SiteMonitor Systems as well as local surveying specialists GEOCOM the one day event will take place on the 25th March 2014 in Santiago.

Mr Carlos Escudero, co-founder of Santiago based GEOCOM commented, “Surveying, geotechnical measurements and geodesy are thriving industries in Chile and the recent advancements in laser scanning and monitoring are of huge interest to the mining, exploration, construction and mapping communities. This event will provide a marvellous opportunity for anyone with an interest in laser scanning to get hands on with some of the most advanced solutions currently on the market.”

Dr Graham Hunter, Executive Chairman and founder of 3D Laser Mapping added, “With support from UK Trade and Investment and GEOCOM it has been possible to organise this event bringing the very latest innovations in laser scanning to Chile. For the British Embassy to host such an event is an enormous honour.”
