Digital Twins

Cura Surveys provides professional survey data capture and digital modelling services to support the creation of accurate Digital Twins for buildings, sites, estates, infrastructure and construction projects.

A Digital Twin is a digital representation of a real-world asset. It can combine measured survey data, 3D models, point clouds, BIM information, photographs, asset data and project records into one coordinated digital environment.

Our role is to provide the accurate measured foundation required for a reliable Digital Twin. Using laser scanning, SLAM scanning, drone survey, topographical survey, measured building survey and Scan to BIM workflows, we help clients create digital records that are accurate, useful and suitable for long-term asset management.

What is a Digital Twin?

A Digital Twin is a digital version of a physical building, site, structure or asset.

It is more than a simple 3D model. A Digital Twin can hold information about the geometry, layout, condition, materials, systems, assets and performance of a building or site.

For example, a Digital Twin may include:

3D building geometry
BIM models
Point cloud data
Floor plans, elevations and sections
Asset information
Room data
Plant and equipment records
Photographic records
Survey control and coordinates
Maintenance and inspection information
Construction or refurbishment records

Digital Twins are used to help clients understand, manage, maintain, improve and develop their assets more effectively.

Why Choose Cura Surveys?

Cura Surveys is an RICS-regulated professional survey company with extensive experience in measured surveys, laser scanning, Scan to BIM, topographical surveys and 3D modelling.

We understand that a Digital Twin is only as good as the information it is built from. If the base survey data is inaccurate, incomplete or poorly structured, the Digital Twin will not be reliable.
