Safeguarding our cultural heritage
Today, numerous buildings or heritage sites require plans, if only for the production of a realistic presentation in which the general public can undertake a virtual tour.
The presentation of up-to-date plans of a castle or a cathedral - right down to measuring the smile of a gargoyle 40 metres above the ground - measuring the height of an arch, calculating the base area of a watchtower or the progressive settlement of a retaining wall, all these are included in the services delivered by Urbica.
APPLICATIONS
- Sounding and monitoring, deformation control
- 3D model of civil engineering structure
- Preservation, conservation and safeguarding of a cultural site
- Archiving of archaeological site
- 3D model of excavations
- Public presentation of works
- 3D video filming for heritage presentation
- Popular access to unknown works
- Digitization of valuable works
- Creation of a virtual image or animation for communication,
presentation or documentation - Reproduction of objects by silk-screen or 3D printing
- Façade plan
- Dimensional survey

BENEFITS
- Reduced operating costs
- Generation of a 3D model of the existing structure
- Faithful restitution of a complex site
- Handling of the structure can be omitted
- 3D or 2D data files, obtained by the same survey campaign
- Potential for "total" or "partial" modelling
- Subsequent "total" or "partial" modelling
- Scans with a high precision and a high level of details
- Virtual presentation to the public
- Speed of response
- Scans completed by a specialized team of topographic
surveyors - Exhaustive scans, with a high density and a high level of detail
- Results suitable for processing in all CAD tools
- Rapid results, often available for processing within days
of on-site scanning - A single team, from ordering through to delivery
- Speed of capture of on-site measurements
