Description:
A state-of-the-art infrared measuring system for debris removal is being tested in Joplin, Mo. by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the tornado debris removal operation to learn if it’s efficient, consistent, speedy and less costly. The system is called Tally Clerk. Its volume estimates are being compared against those of the best human quality assurance monitors who currently make the estimate call from a tower where they observe the truck’s debris load from above, said the Corps’ Jim Garner.
