Project Visualisation

Visualization is a by-product of the actual 3d cad engineering design model. We enhance the design with draped aerial photography, vegetation, animated vehicle, and modeling of specific landmarks like building, water towers etc.

The final product can be delivered in photo stills, walk around, drive and fly through’s, 3d Adobe files and Goolge earth kml files depending on client output requirements.

The visualization can be done using various inputs, designs on paper format, cad formats, landxml models, 3d cad models and various other formats.

As part of services rendered by GESS, our Professional Services Team offers project visualization.
Visualisation has been utilised for various functions. Some of these are :design reviews, environmental audits, route determinations, education purposes for training of junior engineers and site supervision, bid proposals, public participation meetings, client project reviews, budgets allocations, political presentations, marketing and virtual valuation to name but a few.

Luanda Waterfront Development

Client: Consortium

Summary:

This project is for the dredging and land reclamation to construct transport and services corridor and construct islands for urban regeneration and new development in Luanda. GESS were appointed to model and generate a fly and drive through of the reclaimed land development on waterfront to assist the client with marketing and presentations to government bodies.The visualisation include AVI’S, photo matching and selected stills extractions from the 3d digital model.

Freeway Bid Visualisation

Summary:

GESS creted a visualisation of a drive through of a planned freeway to attempt to successfully secure a bid for a client. GESS model more than 30 km of proposed freeway creating a drive through in both directions and annotated text as required by the client. The drive through was used to indicate that the consortium understood the brief and the impact of the previously designed route, and by doing so highlighting issues the consortium would address.

K90 New Technology

Client: Department of Public Transport, Roads and Works Gauteng

Summary:

This project was to generate a report presenting the findings of a study into the use of electronic media in the development, reporting and management of Preliminary Designs for the Gauteng Department of Roads. The study investigated the integration of digital data and new technologies, using this approach in the development of the K90/K157 project North of Johannesburg International Airport (JIA). This project was considered to be suitable for such a study as it is located within one of the BlueIQ projects and will support the development of the Industrial Development Zone being developed to the East of JIA. The study proposal was put forward to the Department in November 2001 and was approved in April 2002 to be carried out parallel to the K90 Preliminary Design Project.

Visualisation of k90 interchange - 2006

Department of Public Transport,
Roads and Works Gauteng

This project was to generate 3d drive throughs and 3d pdfs for the Report of the Assessment of New Technology in Designing Roads on a Preliminary Designs of a phased interchange for the Gauteng Department of Roads. The study investigated the integration of digital data and new technologies, using this
approach in the development of the K90/K157 project North of Johannesburg International Airport (JIA) , South Africa.

Symphony Way

Summary:

Project Description: GESS supplied a civil technologist to do the design and construction drawings using Bentley MX technology. The client supplied project managers and the project engineers. The project is currently under construction

K54 Enviromental Study

(Click here to see the Visualisation Video)

Client: Department of Public Transport, Roads and Works Gauteng

Summary:

GESS were requested to model an road layout plan for the k54 route. This route will traverse one of the ridge lines just east of Pretoria and hence has an impact on the environment. The model for this route which is expected to be built in 2015 was used to determine the impact on the environment. It has been suggest that a cut and cover civil engineering solution be adopted to minimise the impact.

Proposed Suikerbosrand Environmental Study

Client: Department of Public Transport, Roads and Works Gauteng

Summary:

GESS were requested to model the proposed design in order for the affected parties to asses the impact of the new proposed alignment on an endangered butterfly species. Visualisation was used to see if a solution and, or what impact the new road would have on the butterfly concentrated in a 2km2 area.

Pniel

Summary:

Visualisation of the upgrade and realignment of the R310 road from Hells Hoogte to Boschendal including new intersections. The visualisation focused on the changes to existing alignment with furniture upgrades and highlighted new bicycle lanes.

Berg Betterment Structure River

Client: Department of Water Affairs & Forestry

Summary:

GESS modelled a new betterment structure for a Dam assisting DWA water engineers in visualising and conceptual design of the 3d structure. Cross sections and multiple views were extracted from the model.

De Hoop Dam

Client: Department of Water Affairs & Forestry

Summary:

GESS were appointed to model the new proposed De Hoop Dam. Gess modelled the dam, topology, dam wall, new residential area and all the associated roads.

Gautrain

Client: Gauliwe Design Consortium

Summary:

GESS supplied technical support and assisted four consultants with the rail design using Bentley Rail Track Solution. GESS placed civil technologist into the design team to assist with the process of delivering the final bid documents

Kumba Mine 3d Modelling

Client: Kumba

Summary:

GESS modelled the new expansion project at Kumba Sishen for the client and including plant models supplied by 3rd parties. GESS focus was the civil earthworks for the expansion and worked in junction with the client design team.
