3D Model: Polquhanity to Tongland

Together with MVGLA we made an interactive 3D model that shows the landscape impact of overhead transmission lines.

Our technology makes it possible to visualize that which is not yet there. And not just in a flat image. No: 3D Model and interactive. So that a new situation can actually be lived through. As real as possible.

Impact made visual

As a landscape architect, our partner Marc van Grieken knows all the challenges involved in devising, setting up and implementing new projects. Especially if the adjustments have a major impact on the landscape. He uses our visualization technique to map out that impact and to enter into a dialogue with stakeholders. For example on behalf of the Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN).

Fifty kilometers of transmission lines

From his company MVGLA, Marc entered into a partnership with The Imagineers to create an interactive 3D model of how 50 kilometers of overhead transmission lines impact the landscape. These 132 kv lines would be located between Polquhanity and Tongland in southern Scotland, connecting three substations and two hydroelectric power stations.

3D, interactive and Virtual Reality

With the help of 3D tree data and twelve so-called spherical photography rendered images, we were able to visualize this project together in a way that is not only very helpful for the team of engineers, but also helps the local population in the dialogue about the impact of this project.

Support is everything

Solid support for high-impact projects means a lot to the process. Allowing local residents and other stakeholders to become acquainted with the frameworks and consequences of the upcoming changes very early in the process creates fertile ground for support. Involvement grows, assumptions decrease and the dialogue contributes to less resistance. In the case of this project, we see great results.
During the local meetings, locals can use Virtual Reality to get a true picture of the situation in the future and also indicate which bottlenecks they experience. This can be taken into account by the project team when fine-tuning the plans.

Win-win-win if you ask us. And we are quite proud of that.
