We seek pilot sites and monitoring/survey practitioners to validate repeatable LiDAR capture and change-detection workflows on real heritage assets (incl. coastal/erosion contexts). We also look for technical partners to integrate point clouds with navigation/time synchronisation and to connect outputs into DSS/digital-twin environments. Access to test facilities and reference datasets is also needed for benchmarking accuracy and long-term stability.

Advanced LiDAR monitoring system demonstrated in operational conditions, producing geo-referenced point clouds with integrated INS and time synchronisation for repeat surveys and change detection. Outputs are designed to feed risk estimation and be visualised/managed in the DSS and aligned with digital-twin/site models.

Yes — the monitoring workflow can be replicated across sites, and the system can be deployed as equipment sales, a service offering (survey campaigns), or integrated into existing inspection/asset-management solutions.

It can be sustained through a mix of hardware commercialisation and monitoring services. Options include: (a) selling the LiDAR system (or licensing the technology) to survey/monitoring providers and public authorities, (b) offering “monitoring-as-a-service” campaigns with periodic repeat surveys and reporting, (c) maintenance and calibration contracts to ensure accuracy over time, and (d) integration services to connect point clouds to DSS/digital-twin platforms and asset management systems. Recurring monitoring needs (erosion/decay tracking and post-event assessment) support repeat business and long-term uptake.
