Rail and Tram

ViSiVi was used on the prestigious record setting 357 mph rail line between Paris and Strasbourg in 2004.  Initially needed for early route selection, ViSiVi is currently updated every six months with new aerial imagery to monitor and provide a record of project progress, as seen in the series of images below.

Our aerial imagery is shot with the latest cameras from Hasselblad, Canon or Phase One to guarantee super high-resolution quality photography, useful for:

  • PhaseOnePhaseOne2New Rail Route Identification
  • Key Constraint Analysis
  • EIA Production
  • Stakeholder and authority Presentations
  • Pre-Construction Baseline Surveys
  • Post-Construction Comparisons
  • Hand-over Tool to Operations
  • Fence line Surveys
  • Vegetation Surveys
  • Land use Monitoring
  • Cow Incursions
  • Access Issues 
  • Earthworks and Cutting Monitoring
  • Cliff Face / Rock Fall monitoring
  • Integrity Monitoring

Thousands of overlapping oblique images of the entire railway network are captured and delivered as a virtual-site-visit.

ViSiVi eliminates the very time consuming and inefficient task of aimlessly scrolling through each image by ensuring fast and efficient visualisation of the network in a geographic context (one click on the map takes you to the associated image), while data relating to the route can be overlaid at will.  ViSiVi therefore assists railway personnel across a wide spectrum of applications from route selection to operations.

ViSiVi has been used on numerous major rail projects in the UK and mainland Europe, together with a number of significant city-centre tram projects in the UK including Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Crossrail.
