High Resolution Surveying and Inspection for River Crossings: A New Perspective

10:40 - 11:00
  • Advanced imaging technology, historically used in energy sectors, now supports the full lifecycle (design, monitoring, maintenance) of marine assets, including bridges.

  • Integrated sensors like Sonar, LiDAR, and cameras on vessels and drones generate accurate 3D point cloud data, delivered to asset managers via the cloud.

  • Case studies, including Rochester Bridge, will demonstrate processing tools and how clients use this data in asset management workflows.
