ARCHAEOLOGY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE

DETAILED IMAGERY OF YOUR SITE

Archaeological surveys measure and document archaeological assets through drawings and models.

The survey assesses the existing condition of structures — buildings and excavation sites — and historic objects such as statues, artefacts and paintings, collecting data on dimensions, materials and deterioration. These data form the basis for analysis, research, management and planning of restoration or integrated design work on the surveyed asset.

An important part of the analysis also helps locate assets, primarily architectural remains, that have not yet been clearly identified on the ground, such as settlements buried underground or concealed by vegetation.

THE STAGES OF OUR WORK

1. Existing-condition survey

The survey uses specialist equipment:

  • Total station 
  • Laser scanners (static and mobile) 
  • Calibrated cameras used on the ground or in the air, on aircraft or UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). 
  • Calibrated cameras operating at the water surface and underwater using ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) 
  • LiDAR used on the ground, in the air, and on submersibles. 

2. Data analysis and survey drawings

Analysis of the survey data provides measurements, drawings and models of the built environment, specifically:

  • Point cloud 
  • Orthophoto 
  • 2D and 3D models 
  • Plans, sections and elevations
