3D Jetty Inspection using aerial and ground-based Photogrammetry

3D Model of Jetty (Top and Underside) for General Visual Inspection (GVI) Using Drones and various camera sensors to create a Photogrammetry Mesh Model is currently in progress for a major mining operator. The project is in its initial stages, with the first stage of data capture and processing completed for the tail-end jetty. This data is hosted on our proprietary web platform, inSite.

The project is currently in the work-in-progress phase, with planning underway for the second data capture stage during an upcoming shutdown. Upon completing the second stage of data capture and subsequent data processing, the two models will be merged and delivered to the client through our InSite platform. The project is expected to be completed within 4-6 weeks after the initial data capture, meeting the specified timeline.

This image showcases a 3D visualisation of the underside of an offshore oil platform. It depicts the intricate structure of support beams and legs, which appear weathered and corroded, highlighting the harsh conditions of the marine environment. The image has been rendered with realistic textures and shadows, providing a detailed view of the platform's architecture from below. This perspective allows for a close inspection of the condition of the materials and the construction elements, which are essential for maintenance and safety checks in the real world. The dark backdrop emphasises the isolation of the structure in the open sea.
This image presents a 3D rendering of a complex offshore platform structure, viewed from an angle that captures its expansive frame. The steel beams and support network are shown in various weathering states, indicative of a marine environment. Despite the dark background that suggests this could be an isolated section from a larger model, the intricacy of the architecture is evident, showing multiple levels and an array of pipes and platforms that make up the industrial facility. There are no visible workers or equipment, pointing to a focus on the structure itself, possibly for analysis, planning, or digital documentation purposes. The blue pinpoint at the top centre implies a specific area of interest or a reference point within the 3D model.
The image displays a 3D render of an offshore structure and jetty with intricate metal beams and pipe framework. The image focuses on a suspended platform, also known as a diving stage or basket, used for transporting workers or equipment to lower levels or into the water. The platform is fitted with various tools and equipment, indicating active work. Visible signs label a "Pile 4," suggesting ongoing construction or maintenance. The structure shows signs of weathering and rust, typical for marine environments. The clear sky in the background contrasts with the complexity of the industrial setup, and no people are visible, which implies either automated processes or that the work is currently halted.
