Elevation models
Digital elevation and surface models with coordinate reference, resolution and quality information for terrain or surface analysis.
Solution 03
3D Mapping & Digital Twins
Turn imagery and LiDAR into checked elevation data, point clouds and 3D models that fit your engineering or digital twin workflow.
The challenge
A useful 3D model needs more than visual detail
Imagery, point clouds and existing maps often differ in date, scale and coordinate reference. Engineering analysis needs a consistent spatial foundation with known accuracy, coverage and processing history.
Our approach
Build spatial data around its intended use
We process and integrate observations to create models that support measurement, analysis and downstream systems. Validation and clear documentation make the data's capabilities and gaps visible.
- Satellite, aerial and drone photogrammetry
- LiDAR processing and multi-source data integration
- DEM/DSM generation, point clouds and 3D modelling
- Multi-date comparison and change analysis
Example deliverables
A spatial foundation for your next step
We agree the resolution, accuracy assessment and delivery formats around the application.
Point clouds & 3D models
Processed spatial datasets and models, prepared for the agreed measurement, visualisation or engineering workflow.
Change analysis
Comparisons between suitable acquisition dates, with registration quality and uncertainty considered when interpreting differences.
Integration packages
Validated spatial data, metadata and documentation prepared for use in GIS, engineering tools or a digital twin environment.
Methods & data
Connect acquisition, geometry and validation
Photogrammetric processing, georeferencing, point cloud analysis and data fusion are selected to suit the source material. Where available, independent ground control and check data support geometric assessment.
Image geometry, surface texture, occlusion, acquisition dates and reference coverage constrain the achievable result. We establish these conditions before agreeing the deliverables.
Suitable projects
Make 3D data usable across disciplines
- Engineering consultancies requiring terrain and surface models
- Infrastructure and mining teams analysing sites or change over time
- Mapping teams integrating imagery, LiDAR and existing datasets
- Digital twin developers needing validated spatial data and models
For digital twin projects, our contribution is the spatial data, models and agreed integration work. Update frequency and system requirements are defined for each project.
