Sea Wall & Quay Sheet Pile 3D Mapping — Rotterdam

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 Rotterdam

Europe's largest port by cargo volume, with an extensive network of quay walls, sheet-pile berths, bridges, and subsea pipelines built up over more than a century of expansion.

The sheer scale and age of Rotterdam's submerged infrastructure — quay walls, bridge substructures, pipeline routes — makes ongoing 3D condition survey a genuine, standing requirement rather than a novelty.

Deliverable

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