Handheld SLAM LiDAR for Construction: Visit GeoCue Booth N10430 at CONEXPO/CON AGG

Portable SLAM mapping built for tight spaces, active jobsites, and real deadlines in the Construction industry.

If you are headed to CONEXPO CON AGG in Las Vegas this year, make time to swing through the North Hall and stop by the GeoCue booth N10430. The show runs March 3 to 7, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center with show hours Tuesday through Friday, 9AM to 5PM and Saturday, 9AM to 3PM.

CONEXPO CON AGG is the kind of event where you can see the biggest iron, compare brands side by side, and get a real feel for what is changing across asphalt, aggregates, concrete, earthmoving, lifting, mining, utilities, and everything that touches a jobsite. It is also the perfect place to talk about something that is quietly becoming a must-have tool for modern construction projects: fast, portable reality capture you can trust, like the TrueView GO.

That is exactly what we are bringing to Las Vegas.

At GeoCue, we build LiDAR and mapping solutions that help crews capture the real world quickly and turn it into usable deliverables. Not “maybe it is close” measurements. Not “we will model it later if we have time.” I mean accurate, visual, measurable data you can use for layout, documentation, BIM, QA, progress tracking, and renovation planning.

And the best part is you do not need a survey crew and a week of downtime to get it.

Why the TrueView GO SLAM LiDAR belongs on construction sites

Construction moves fast. Conditions change daily. Trades stack on top of trades. And the gap between what is on a drawing and what is installed is where time and money disappear.

TrueView GO Handheld SLAM LiDAR solves a very real problem: you need accurate as-built data without slowing the job down. These sensors are built for reality. You walk the site, you capture what is there, and you get a dense point cloud that can be measured, modeled, and compared against design.

The TrueView GO is especially valuable when the places you need to scan are the places that are hardest to scan.

  • Indoor areas where GNSS does not work
  • Mechanical rooms packed with MEP
  • Basements, tunnels, and utility corridors
  • Structures with tight access, scaffolding, or active work zones
  • Renovations where nothing is square, and nothing is where the plan says it is

SLAM lets you map accurately even when GNSS is weak or nonexistent. That is a big deal for construction because a lot of the most important work happens inside, under, and around obstructions.

Come to booth N10430 and try it for yourself

At GeoCue booth N10430 in the North Hall, we are doing what we always prefer to do at trade shows: hands-on demos.

We will let you demo the TrueView GO, see the data, and talk through how the workflow would look on your projects. And yes, we can talk pricing and make deals right at the show.

Meet the TrueView GO lineup: built for walking capture

Our flagship handheld lineup is the TrueView GO, available in two versions, 116S and 132S. The idea is simple: capture reality while you walk. Use it indoors, outdoors, and even in subterranean environments. The system combines GNSS RTK or PPK performance when you have satellite coverage, then leans on SLAM when you do not. That combination is what makes it so flexible for construction.

Here are the construction wins you will feel immediately:

First, speed. You can move through a site naturally and capture dense data without stopping every few feet to set up.

Second, coverage. You can work through hallways, around obstacles, and into spaces a tripod scanner cannot easily reach.

Third, confidence. You can validate coverage as you go, so you are not discovering gaps back at the office when it is too late.

A real workflow matters, and that is why LP360 is part of the package

Hardware alone is only half the job. On construction projects, what you really need is a repeatable workflow from capture to deliverable. That is why every TrueView GO is paired with LP360 processing software.

In plain terms, LP360 is how you turn raw capture into something you can use. It helps you generate point clouds, colorize LiDAR, run quality control, and align your handheld scans with other data sources. This matters on construction projects because handheld scans rarely live alone. You might be combining them with drone data, mobile mapping, or terrestrial scans to build a full site model.

The newest option: TrueView GO NEO, small, powerful, and priced to move

We are also excited to show off the all-new TrueView GO NEO, which is quickly becoming the easiest on-ramp into handheld SLAM mapping we have ever offered.

NEO is smaller, lighter, and more portable, with no moving parts, and it is built to keep handheld mapping simple and accessible. It features a next-generation dome LiDAR with performance tuned for indoor SLAM, plus dual high-resolution cameras for spherical imagery and clean, high quality colorization.

And here is the headline that will get attention across construction: systems start at only $11,500.

NEO also includes LP360 Land, and it pairs with your phone so you can keep the workflow straightforward and keep the total cost of ownership low. In other words, you get a professional capture tool without turning your team into full-time scanning specialists.

Where this pays off in real construction work

People sometimes hear “point cloud” and think it is only for BIM teams or high-end modeling work. That is not how we see it. On construction sites, reality capture pays off in very practical, very measurable ways.

As-built documentation

Capture the exact site conditions at key milestones. Create a digital record you can revisit for verification, handoff, or future renovations. This is huge for complex builds where small deviations become expensive rework later.

Quality control and verification

Scan installed work and compare it against design intent. Catch issues early. Confirm dimensions before the next trade covers it up. It is easier to fix a problem today than to argue about it two months later.

Site planning and pre-construction surveying

Walk a site and capture existing conditions quickly. Get accurate context for planning, staging, renovations, and retrofits. The more accurate your starting point, the fewer surprises you deal with once the project is moving.

Progress tracking and coordination

Use repeatable scans to document progress over time. Give project managers and stakeholders a clear picture of what is installed and what is not. This also helps subcontractor coordination because everyone can reference the same reality, not different interpretations of the same drawing.

Structural analysis and retrofitting

For renovations, retrofits, and expansions, you need accurate geometry of what already exists. Handheld SLAM LiDAR makes it practical to capture detailed structure data without shutting down operations.

Let’s talk in Las Vegas

CONEXPO CON AGG is all about equipment, technology, and the future of construction operations. If you are serious about reducing rework, improving coordination, and capturing accurate as-built conditions without slowing the project down, handheld SLAM LiDAR should be on your radar.

So, here’s the invite:

Stop by GeoCue booth N10430 in the North Hall. Demo the TrueView GO 116S and 132S. Get hands-on with the all-new TrueView GO NEO. See what the data looks like. Ask the tough workflow questions. And if it is a fit, we will help you put together a package and make a deal at the show.

We can’t wait to see you in Las Vegas and get you hooked up with TrueView GO.
