The information management solutions company collaborated with Welsh Water after they sought COGNICAโs advice to ascertain the potential benefits of using 3D point cloud technology to map its treatment plants.
With vast previous experience in the field, COGNICA started work on the project in Duffryn Isaf, creating a 3D point cloud containing data for one of Welsh Waterโs treatments works.

COGNICAโs scan is to become part of an Innovation project to showcase the potential for wider adoption in Welsh Water, and the data would also be used as part of the companyโs incident reporting programme, encouraging employees to tag and raise issues easily in an intuitive but visually distinguishable manner.
