Firmatek Notes

Home Page
- First CTA Button: I'd cut "Firmatek is your ally for superior information." - Mining _> Landfills _> 3D Mapping. Everything starts with "See how..." I'd reword the text under those three buttons this way: "See how Firmatek serves our oldest client: the mining industry." "Learn about Firmatek's success in the solid waste management industry." "Discover the wide range of applications for Firmatek's 3D Mapping solutions." - Watch as we scan. Personally, I thought it would read nicely as "Watch Firmatek at work." Just an opinion. - Quote Rotator --> Call it "What Our Clients are Saying" or something similar

Stockpile Measurement:
Superior Technology: We were there at the dawn of laser profiling to capture the first stockpiles in 3D[I suggest deleting: with technology offering accuracy unheard of by any method existing at the time]. Since then Firmatek continues to invest countless hours in research and training to offer the most accurate and efficient technology available. See Your Piles Change What has happened since the last inventory? Now you can see it all. Lay multiple inventories side by side and stack them on top of one another to see them with a new clarity. Your piles move, expand and contract, and they do it on floors that are ever changing. Wanna know whats really happening with your stockpiles? We can show you. Guaranteed Accuracy of 95% or Better.

That means: Any two technicians on any two days with any two pieces of equipment will produce the same accurate answer. Our measurements are reliable and consistent so you can bank on them.

Mining

Waste Management
Helping You Stay in Compliance with Permits There is a high cost for remediation that can be avoided. Prevent and minimize the addition of fill outside your permitted space with regular scanning and topographic updates.. (extra period) Drainage Studies An accurate hydraulic model always starts with the right existing topography. Whether its undeveloped land, a highly-disturbed (remove hyphen) area or natural drainage paths, we can capture, contour and deliver the data that builds your model. Changes in Topography Collecting high-density spatial data is a much more accurate method than single-point surveying for monitoring changes in the earths surface. Valleys, troughs, toes and crests are captured in much higher detail. With the development of ruggedized laser scanning equipment, it is also a faster and safer means of field surveying.
