Bridge & Pier Substructure 3D Audits — Rotterdam

Bridge substructure inspection below the waterline usually means a diver's written notes and a handful of stills — not much to work with when an engineer needs to track a crack's growth or quantify a scour void over successive inspection cycles. We build an interactive 3D model of the submerged piling, footing, and surrounding scour, so crack length, void volume, and section loss are direct measurements inside the model rather than estimates from a photo.

Why it matters in Rotterdam

Europe's largest port by cargo volume, with an extensive network of quay walls, sheet-pile berths, bridges, and subsea pipelines built up over more than a century of expansion.

The sheer scale and age of Rotterdam's submerged infrastructure — quay walls, bridge substructures, pipeline routes — makes ongoing 3D condition survey a genuine, standing requirement rather than a novelty.

Deliverable

A measurable 3D model of the submerged substructure, supporting direct crack and scour quantification.
