Digital infrastructure twins

Digital models and classified point clouds for anomaly detection and infrastructure risk management

We create tailor-made digital twins based on LiDAR and photogrammetric data for infrastructure design, analysis, and maintenance.

Thanks to our expertise, cutting-edge technologies and experienced team, we can offer a wide range of services and customized deliverables, from DTM to digital twins and BIM.
