The Plex-Earth platform provides you with both visualization and detailed terrain data, making planning a wind-farm project both easier for you, and then easier for stakeholders to understand and appreciate your careful consideration of all the elements involved.Several years ago, Google engineers figured out a way to stitch together satellite imagery to remove clouds, giving Google Earth and Google Maps users a better and more comprehensive view of the ground below.
Avoid Hazards, Re-Work or Design Redundancies. Easy Calculation of Soil Volumes Avoids Excessive Earthworks. Help Communicate Your Designs to Non-Technical Stakeholders. Design with Confidence, with Visual, 3D Terrain Data (Mesh or Contours). Long or Wide Projects with Seamless Auto-Alignment of Multiple Images. Easy Quotation, Booking and Importing of Custom Drone Flight Photos and Data. Multiple Imagery and Terrain Providers, inc Maxxar, Airbus, Nearmap and Hexagon. Display Your Project Area in AutoCAD, with Updated, Hi-Res Aerial Photography. You can also use this feature to easily communicate how you have considered and mitigated for bird strike risk. Our above-mentioned 3D data can be draped with our equally detailed aerial imagery, which can help you to identify vegetation, water bodies, and other features attracting birds to fly and roost. Note that Plex-Earth also partners with AutoTURN, helping you to plot routes for turbine blades and other over-sized loads, simulating the turning radius and vehicle dimensions to help avoid sharp turns, narrow bridges or low clearances. In turn this makes repairs and maintenance easier and faster, reducing downtime and improving both This makes it much easier to visually determine the existing roads, and to then plan for easy routing and construction of additional access. Plex-Earth’s detailed 3D terrain data can be presented as contours, mesh or elevation profiles, and even augmented with your own GeoTIFF files. This creates a real-world sanity-check on modelled outputs from WAsP CFD, WindSim etc. You can easily identify natural and man-made features that create turbulence, diverting or blocking wind-flow.
Our updated satellite photography lets you quickly analyse the topography of the whole area by eye. Exporting Your 3D CAD Models into the Familiar Space of Google Earth.Legal User-Rights to Reproduce Imagery for Proposals, Brochures etc.Updated Satellite Imagery and 3D Terrain Data inside AutoCAD.Ways that Plex-Earth’s imagery and terrain data can help you do that include: With many high-flow locations utilized already, plus ‘NIMBY’ resistance, your challenges include not only finding good placements for harnessing wind, but proving and communicating that you have considered the full range of stakeholders’ needs. For wind turbines, the adage of ‘Location, location, location’ reaches peak validity!
