3D Geospatial Approach for Identifying Unauthorised Building Works (UBWs)

Solution Description

The 3D Geospatial Approach for Identifying Unauthorised Building Works (UBWs) is a comprehensive solution designed to detect, track, and assess UBWs in public areas. The solution uses a combination of the following technologies to capture data on a territory-wide scale:-

1. Territory-Wide Data Capture: Utilising manned helicopters for a holistic approach to collect data across the entire region.

2. Precision Technologies: Employing both LiDAR and photogrammetry technologies for accurate assessment of the UBW issue.

3. GIS Integration: Incorporating Geographic Information System (GIS) for intuitive mapping and reporting, ensuring easy access to and understanding of results.

4. Flexible Data Updates: Capability to obtain current field situation data as needed, with a readily approved permit for operations — a more convenient option compared to drone usage.

Use Case

Improvements to Public Services

1. Safety and Compliance: Enhanced detection and evaluation of UBWs will promote adherence to building regulations and improve overall public safety.

2. Efficient Resource Allocation: Our solution enables the Department to prioritise high-risk UBWs, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively and efficiently.

3. Data-Driven Decision Making: The integration of LiDAR, photogrammetry, and GIS technologies provides accurate and real-time data for informed decision-making and policy development.

Costs and Benefits

1. Cost Savings: Our solution utilises manned helicopters, which can cover larger areas and gather data more efficiently than drones, reducing the overall cost of data acquisition.

2. Reduced Manpower Requirements: The use of advanced technology minimises the need for manual inspections, lowering labor costs and freeing up staff for other essential tasks.

3. Scalability: Our solution can be easily scaled up or down to accommodate changes in budget, scope, or project requirements, ensuring a flexible and adaptable approach to UBW monitoring and severity evaluation.
