Desktop Signal Sighting (HD&VR)

Desktop Signal Sighting (HD&VR)

Signal Sighting from the safety of the office using High Definition Video and 3D Virtual Models
This process can be stand alone or builds upon our Asset Mapping system where the footage is previously correlated to the chainage specified by the project.
Once a draft signalling plan is available, Gioconda will integrate this information and build virtual signal structures. These are augmented onto the footage that will be used by the Signal Sighting Committee or be included in a full 3d model.

Enhanced 3D

Enhanced 3D

Our enhanced 3D is superb for communicating to the public and interested parties the visual impact and design benefits of a project. It can be used for video, TV, billboards, printed promotion material and online visuals. We have a track record of producing imagery for public consultations and presentations and large-scale prints.
For optimum realism our Enhanced 3D can be superimposed onto hi-res photos and videos to give as much detail as possible.
BIM & 3D Modelling

BIM & 3D Modelling

Gioconda 3D & BIM modelling is a standalone service for all aspects of construction related 3D visualisation and virtual models. Whether for engineering assessment, BIM, visualisation, consultations or simulations we have the team to advise and provide the right kind of model for your needs.

Our 3D modelling team has a wide variety of skills and experience across the whole building & construction sector in the UK and abroad. We’ve been involved in many Rail projects − big and small and our breadth of experience covers from Roads to Rail to Airports, Housing to High Rise, Exploration to Utilities and even Historical and Archaeological sites.

We use the best people for each project who are adept at utilising the right tools for the job. We pride ourselves on having a fast turnaround and being able to identify efficiencies for re-using data to avoid duplication of previous work. When we couple this together with our video production team we can produce eye catching animated and motion tracked sequences.
