As a smart city in the making, Hong Kong is utilizing innovative solutions to ensure the safety and resilience of its infrastructure. Get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) uses advanced technology to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events.
CEDD’s Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) has successfully utilized digital twin technology to address the critical challenges of inclement weather. One key component of its strategy is using portable handheld devices to create 3D realistic and point cloud models of man-made slope features. These models serve as the foundation for their digital twin, providing accurate representations of the physical environment. This level of detail enables precise analysis and simulation exercises that were previously impossible. At JUMPSTARTER Vision by the Harbour, you can learn more about how this spatial data is assisting stakeholders in making well-informed decisions to improve emergency preparedness and control landslides.
