Create highly accurate, data‑rich virtual replicas of infrastructure assets
Sixense’s digital twin services enable the creation of highly accurate, data‑rich virtual replicas of infrastructure assets, generated from high‑density LiDAR, photogrammetry, and multi‑angle imaging.
These digital twins provide detailed representations of structures such as powerlines, rail networks, roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, and urban environments, supporting design, analysis, and maintenance activities with precision. By combining advanced surveying technologies—including airborne, mobile, and ground‑based LiDAR—with high‑resolution 360° imaging and RGB, NIR, or thermal data, Sixense delivers tailored digital twins capable of supporting complex engineering requirements across diverse sectors.
In infrastructure design and planning, Sixense’s digital twins are used to create accurate digital terrain models (DTMs), 3D models, BIM‑compatible datasets, and immersive city‑scale meshes. These models help engineers simulate design scenarios, assess environmental impacts, plan new construction, and ensure project feasibility with real‑world accuracy. Applications include planning and constructing new powerlines, developing road and rail expansions, and integrating new structures into existing urban contexts through photorealistic visualisation and thermal or infrared survey analysis.
Digital twins are equally powerful for asset maintenance and lifecycle management. By providing a living, up‑to‑date digital representation, they support vegetation risk assessments around powerlines, ballast and track condition analysis for railways, and precision monitoring of bridges, tunnels, and dams.
Sixense’s modelling and monitoring expertise helps asset owners evaluate structural behaviour, detect anomalies, anticipate risks, and optimise predictive maintenance strategies. This capability aligns with Sixense’s broader digital transformation mission—leveraging rich data, AI, and monitoring technologies to keep infrastructure safe, efficient, and sustainable.
Finally, our digital twin services play a central role in improving operational performance and decision‑making. Integrated within their broader digital ecosystem – and supported by advanced data management and AI – they enhance traceability, support automated reporting, and streamline maintenance planning across asset portfolios. By converting complex field data into actionable insights, Sixense empowers infrastructure owners and operators to better understand their assets, reduce operational risks, and extend service life through informed, data‑driven decisions.
