The SPiDER Scanner from CUES is a wireless and color manhole inspection tool in a lightweight and compact form. It is a scanner that can calculate its position in the manhole shaft using sensor data to measure its incremental motion instead of the payout cable. It weighs less than 30 pounds and can be hand carried to easements or other previously difficult-to-access sites. This wireless portability is possible because the processing computer and battery supply are built into the scanner. It collects millions of 3-D measurements during each manhole inspection so the manhole can be measured to less than 5 mm accuracy. 800/327-7791; www.cuesinc.com; Booth 612.
