Sea Wall & Quay Sheet Pile 3D MappingGeneva

A harbor retaining wall or sheet-pile quay degrades slowly and mostly out of sight below the waterline — which is exactly why it tends to get inspected reactively, after a visible problem shows up onshore. We produce a full photogrammetric 3D model of the submerged structure, giving engineers a real baseline to track bowing, corrosion holes, and concrete erosion against on each subsequent survey, rather than relying on diver notes that are hard to compare year to year.

Why it matters in Geneva

Sits at the point where Lake Geneva drains into the Rhône, a stretch of river developed with hydroelectric dams including the Seujet, Verbois, and Chancy-Pougny installations.

Hydro infrastructure on this stretch of the Rhône needs intake, spillway, and trash-rack inspection in flow conditions that are genuinely hazardous for divers — exactly the case for remote 3D survey.

Deliverable

A georeferenced 3D model of the structure, with measurable deflection and erosion data comparable across surveys.
