Bridge & Pier Substructure 3D Audits

Interactive 3D models of submerged concrete pilings, bridge footings, and rock scour, letting engineers measure crack lengths and void volumes directly.

Overview

What This Involves

Bridge substructure inspection below the waterline usually means a diver's written notes and a handful of stills — not much to work with when an engineer needs to track a crack's growth or quantify a scour void over successive inspection cycles. We build an interactive 3D model of the submerged piling, footing, and surrounding scour, so crack length, void volume, and section loss are direct measurements inside the model rather than estimates from a photo.

Method

How It's Done

01

Full photogrammetric and, where scour depth requires it, sonar survey of the submerged substructure

02

3D reconstruction of piling, footing, and surrounding scour geometry

03

Direct in-model measurement of crack length, void volume, and scour extent

04

Comparison against prior inspection cycles where survey data exists

Output

Deliverable

A measurable 3D model of the submerged substructure, supporting direct crack and scour quantification.

Fit

Who It's For

Civil engineering firms and transport authorities running scheduled bridge substructure inspections.
