River Digital Twin® V2
Creating components for river digital twins that improve design, management and forecasting for flood alleviation and habitat management projects.
Our surveyors bring together data from different sensors to provide detailed geospatial and environmental data which is used to inform flood and environmental projects. Having a River Digital Twin® enables land managers, engineers and ecologists to be better informed on the full ecosystem, river and floodplain geometry and therefore make more balanced decisions when proposing interventions that influence the hydrology and ecology of the river corridor. Our surveyors measure detail above and below the water surface to provide full information in colourised point clouds, photogrammetry, hi-resolution orthomosaic images digital terrain models (DTMs) and interactive near-real visualisation models.
What is a River Digital Twin®?
A River Digital Twin® is a sophisticated, data-driven replica of a river system. This virtual model integrates real-time data, historical records, and advanced simulations to mirror the behaviour of the actual river environment. From monitoring water flow and sediment transport to identifying potential flood risks, it’s a game-changing tool for decision-makers, engineers, and environmentalists.
How River Digital Twin® Benefits You
- Accuracy: Access high resolution georeferenced and real-time data for comprehensive river analysis.
- Efficiency: Save time and resources by replacing traditional monitoring and analysis methods.
- Safety: Reduce hazards by predicting high-risk events with advanced simulations.
Why Choose a River Digital Twin®?
- Predictive Analysis: Anticipate changes in river behaviour, including flood risks and erosion patterns.
- Enhanced Decision-Making: Make data-informed choices for infrastructure projects and environmental conservation.
- Sustainability: Support ecological preservation by understanding the impact of interventions.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduce costs associated with multiple surveys and traditional modelling.
