Project Details
Insite was engaged by a structural engineering consultancy to capture and process condition data across 18 high-mast lighting towers at a major coal terminal in Gladstone.
Each tower was inspected using the DJI Matrice 4 series drone, capturing full overage from base to top at high resolution — every connection and structural member documented in detail no EWP inspection could replicate at this scale.
Each tower was delivered as a photogrammetric digital twin, published to an interactive 3D web scene. The client received more than 57,000 4K structural images to build their inspection report.
Insite is extremely proud of the outcomes and value we were able to provide to our client.
