Get those Halloween costumes ready, Fredericton! 🎃👻 Eagle Engineering and Consulting is excited to be joining more than 40 local businesses and organizations for Go-Go's 5th Annual Trunk-or-Treat!

On Sunday, October 25, we'll be decorating our trunk, handing out treats, and welcoming hundreds of little ghosts, goblins, and superheroes for an afternoon of Halloween fun.

Best of all, 100% of the event proceeds will go directly to The Chalmers Foundation, supporting a great cause in our community. This year's goal is to raise $13,000 to support pediatric care at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital.

If you're in the Fredericton area, bring the kids, show off those costumes, and come join us for some Halloween fun. We'd love to see you there!

📍 30 Knowledge Park Drive, Fredericton
📅 Sunday, October 25, 2026
⏰ 12:00 to 3:30 p.m. (rain or shine)
🎟️ Tickets: $15 per child

What’s actually inside that manhole? Quite a lot, as this 3D LiDAR scan shows. You can see the chamber itself along with the telecom infrastructure running through it, giving teams a detailed record of what was there at the time of collection.

For existing telecom networks, this type of scan can document the layout and status of infrastructure inside the manhole, capture the geometry and condition of the opening, and provide measurements that can be reviewed later from the office. If something was missed during the initial review, or an engineer needs a second look as the design progresses, there is a good chance the answer is already in the scan.

That can save another trip to the site, which is becoming increasingly valuable as access gets more complicated. In some areas, manhole covers are being secured to deter copper theft, so returning to a site can mean having to reopen a secured manhole just to confirm a detail or collect another measurement.

LiDAR can also reduce the need for personnel to enter a confined space simply to document existing conditions. The result is a measurable 3D record that the project team can return to throughout planning and design without repeatedly reopening the manhole or sending someone inside.

As we head into Thanksgiving weekend, we're taking a moment to appreciate the people who make what we do possible. We're grateful for our hardworking team, the clients who put their trust in us, and the partners we have the pleasure of working with throughout the year.

A special thank you to our vendors who keep us equipped and productive, and who are always willing to take the time to help when we need it. We truly appreciate your support!

From all of us at Eagle Engineering and Consulting, we wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with good food, good company, and plenty to be thankful for!

Are your project demands outpacing your team’s capacity? It’s something we’re seeing more often across engineering, telecommunications, and municipal work.

Point clouds are sitting there but haven’t been extracted. CAD work starts to fall behind. GIS data needs to be structured before it can be used, but there isn’t time to get to it. Network design begins to slip behind schedule. Instead of pushing deadlines or spreading teams too thin, parts of the work get handed off and kept moving.

Eagle can take on focused pieces like point cloud extraction from LiDAR and photogrammetry, CAD drafting built to your standards, GIS database setup and maintenance, telecom network design support, and validation of third-party data. Our teams work within your standards and timelines, and we also help merge and align datasets so everything lines up and is ready to use. It’s a practical way to clear your backlog without adding overhead or slowing things down with hiring.

If you’ve got work starting to stack up, reach out to talk about your project needs. >> https://lnkd.in/eKYzzXrR

A few more photos from our field crews this season!

One of the perks of working on projects Canada-wide is getting to see some pretty incredible places along the way. Our crews captured some stunning photos while they were out in the field, so here are a few to enjoy before summer feels too far behind us.

3D models can now be generated faster, with more detail, and using far less computing power. Gaussian Splats offer a way to produce photorealistic visualizations directly from point cloud data. Unlike traditional mesh-based modelling, this approach uses point-based rendering to create smooth, high-resolution outputs that capture lighting, texture, and depth with impressive clarity. The result is a highly realistic model that requires less processing time and hardware, making it a practical choice for large or complex sites.

For teams working in AEC, telecom, or infrastructure, Gaussian Splats offer a more efficient path from field data to finished visuals, without sacrificing quality.

If you’re new to reality capture, you may already know that LiDAR could support your project without fully understanding how the technology works or what a point cloud actually contains.

This short video from NEON Science offers a clear introduction to how LiDAR uses returning laser pulses to measure surfaces to create a three-dimensional point cloud. Although the example focuses on airborne LiDAR and vegetation, the basic principles also apply to mobile and terrestrial scanning.

Once the data is collected, it can be processed into terrain models, measurements, asset information, CAD drawings, GIS layers, and other project deliverables.

Detroit set out to map every street in its city, but what stands out is how many practical uses the city continues to find for the information it collects.

Mobile LiDAR and 360-degree imagery are helping municipal teams track demolition and construction, verify asset locations, examine changes in road surfaces, and identify possible drainage and ponding issues. The same collection can also contribute to inventories of streetlights, utility poles, manholes, traffic signs, and other visible assets.

Detroit aims to capture the entire city every year, with additional passes through areas undergoing rapid change. That gives staff a current record of existing conditions, along with before-and-after information that shows how its streets and neighbourhoods are changing.

It is a useful example of what can happen when reality capture becomes part of regular municipal operations. The value continues to grow as more departments find new and novel ways to use the data.

There’s a new addition to our reality capture toolkit, and it opens up some exciting possibilities for our team!

Eagle Engineering and Consulting is one of the first companies in Canada to acquire the new Leica RTC500 for 3D scanning work. It replaces our RTC360 and brings improved accuracy, more efficient field workflows, and greater flexibility to our 3D laser scanning work.

One improvement we’re particularly excited about is its ability to operate in temperatures as low as −20°C. Weather and site conditions still matter, of course, but the expanded operating range gives our teams more opportunities to collect accurate 3D data outdoors to extend the field season for our teams in Canada.

For our clients, that can mean greater scheduling flexibility, reliable data for measurements and modelling, and detailed existing-condition information that can help reduce unnecessary return visits. A big thank you to the team at REALiT for helping us get the RTC500 into our hands so quickly. We appreciate their support in getting this new technology added to our toolkit and ready for the field.
