Utility Infrastructure - Transmission and Pipe Lines

However, before expensive proprietary data collection is contracted, route finding across large areas must narrow down and establish some plausible construction paths selected after examination of the entire landscape.

EarthDetails can assist this initial planning by providing 3D visualizations of the highest resolution available large-scale DEM (such as USGS) draped with aerial photographs and brought to the office desktop or field laptop on a fast, interactive, and seamlessly large area model.

Once the path is established and high resolution proprietary data is obtained, for both construction and maintenance purposes, this data should be merged with the wider area dataset to include the entire landscape.

To get this superimposition onto the larger picture is necessary so that disaster planning can study, reroute, and fortify against avalanches, floods, mud and rock slides that can occur due to terrain several kilometers away from the transmission line itself.

The EarthDetails engine is very efficient in handling varying resolutions in the same model will excel at this across a vast landscape.

We are looking for industry providers who are looking for this 3D capability to give the clients and edge. Please contact us to discuss how we can help.
