Our approach to structural data acquisition
In practice, this means:
We often have only a partial understanding of the structure's actual condition. Critical areas can be difficult to access or aren't fully documented yet, meaning our decisions are frequently based on a limited dataset.
Our approach to structural data acquisition
HydroMapper creates a complete and consistent database for special structures.
By utilizing modern surveying technologies, even complex geometries and difficult-to-access areas can be precisely captured. Combining different methods enables comprehensive documentation – regardless of structure type or accessibility.
Data collection is targeted in such a way that it is not only documented, but also ready to be levgaged for subsequent analysis and evaluation.
Added value for operations and maintenance
Complete structural mapping delivers a whole new level of clarity and a solid foundation for your decision-making.
By systematically merging all data, you gain a seamless, comprehensive understanding of the asset – even when dealing with highly complex or hard-to-reach structures.
This is how HydroMapper empowers your workflow:
a centralized and interoperable data hub for all stakeholders
significantly improved visualization of complex asset geometries
straightforward data enrichment, e.g., integrating site photos and on-site documentation
transparent, audit-proof documentation of structural conditions and histories
In practice, this means:
Hard-to-reach structures are easier to understand, inspections become more efficient, and measures can be planned and implemented in a more targeted manner.
A real-world example
Hamburg Quay Wall
Digital status assessment of a compromised structure
Custom structure
Subsea and surface scanning
Digital As-Built Modeling
Following the failure of a section of the quay wall, the entire structure was fully closed and required a complete re-evaluation. Structurally, the quay is highly complex, having evolved historically over time, and is partially classified as a protected heritage site.
